Monday, March 31st, 2008

So at last the final cable.. And today we find ourselves right next to the resolution, well near anyway as it assembles the first wind turbine (no points if you said wind mill).. so anyway a couple of pics.. So there you have it minutes after the first one was completed I took a picture.. [...]

100% Test

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

Woke this morning to find we are indeed in the field with the Resolution in the distance sticking up the first turbine, too far for pictures sadly, so might not get that first one as had hoped Wandered around and finally found out we were to test a cable on deck to make sure it [...]

Another laptop and mines broken..

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

So I get asked to sort out a laptop today .. Manage to find the drivers are already on the machine for XP (result) so just reload XP then shove the memory stick in and recopy the drivers back manage to reload windows XP in about 45 minutes (is that a record?). Then decide to [...]

Lovely weather (again)

Friday, March 28th, 2008

So here we are in shelter waiting out the next instalment of bad weather.. Oh what fun.. No internet of any kind for more than 10 minutes and a TV signal that reminds you of the 60′s (mainly static or BBC1). Spent most of the day regretting a certain KFC yesterday I would go into [...]

Water sport

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

So today head down to find out that I’m heading yonder to do a spot of testing.. A lot of faffing around later and I finally head out only to get half way before the steering goes on the boat (noticeable because we are going round in circles)… So we limp back into harbour I [...]

Rain and err rain..

Monday, March 24th, 2008

So I was going to do the plasterboard today but.. I didn’t really feel like it early enough and by the time I felt it might be a good idea it had started to rain.. Went and had a look at some kitchen cabinets for all the junk and decided that 80 quid for a [...]

Hmm.. So 72%?

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Hmm well started today painting on some of the lovely black stuff followed by the itchy insulation.. Jasper and Rahl popped round and gave me a hand then watched some telly and had a nice roast. If the rain holds off tomorrow I’ll get the plasterboard and get that put up and then.. Well I [...]

Will it ever end?

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

Ok so now most of the internal walls have a framework in place.. It took ages as I just kept feeling lost and stopped looking around.. Finally I got my act together and started doing odds and sods then Jasper arrived and I jumped in the Van with Rahl and bought some sand and cement [...]
