I Do Love a Project.
Right now I have quite a few going on.
1. Forthcoming fatherhood - some might say the greatest project of all. the more negative may warn that this could also be the death of my projects. my thinking is more in line with the first statement.
2. Fergie Tractor - bought this earlier in the month and loving it. I love the tractor a lot, obviously. But I'm also fascinated by the responses it invokes in people. Not only the confusion, but also the most unlikely tractorphiles that I'd have down as doubters, and vice versa.
3. My Shed - in the closing stages, I am already missing working on my shed. its been great fun not only to build, but to realise that you really can just go out and get some wood and then build something that was just a scribble on a piece of paper before. I love that about a project.
4. My Garage - a biggy this one. got it through planning already, i thought that would be the biggest hurdle, and i guess it has been tough. next up is building regs, could be a challenge. hoping to start actually building in spring 2009.
5. 2cv - feeling increasingly guilty about this one. needs finished off, but i need my garage (#4) to really do it in. painting and the like shouldnt be attempted in a muddy garden.
theres just a few of the clearest cut projects. theres always a handful of sub-projects that come about on a saturday morning from nowhere and mean the biggies dont get a look in. such is the nature of the beast.

Great blog Thomas :D
How about adding the old solar-powered kettle to the list? Maybe you could get some solar panels on the Fergie so you could have tea on the go?
Good idea - do plan to start putting up an archive of older projects... I had forgotten about my solar powered kettle! That was the slowest cup of tea ever.
Oh, but it was so worth waiting for :D And, it allowed a game of darts in the interim!
