Since moving to the new house, I've noticed a few things that need doing, the most notable being that the bottom rails of the colorbond fence are at or below ground level, which is not good; being that the fence is steel, this causes rust & voids the 15 year warranty so, I set about rectifying the situation by chipping away the earth below the fence & tapering up away from the fence to meet the yard level...
The biggest issue is, I, nor my daughter has a wheelbarrow so, I had the idea of making a trailer from a 44 gallon drun to attach to my riding mower; the issue is, I can't find any nearby...
What I do have is one or two damaged panels of the aforementioned fence so, a bit of cutting, drilling & riveting later, I have what equates to half of a 44 gallon drum; once attached to a standard dolly, this will make an adequate "earth mover"...
Then I set about attaching the dolly to the mower; using some strips of steel & a single nut & bolt, along with some cutting & bending, I ended up with a workable hitch...
After that was done, I decided to do something about the "way too loud" muffler on the mower; why is it so loud? No packing so, after I split the muffler, I'm off to find some muffler packing material...
