The Pod Project – 11
Progress delayed due to inclement weather but I don’t have to meet my deadline now because the earliest date for erection is now the first Sunday of June.
I can see the finish line…

Cat Water Fountain
I got the version with motion sensor because the fountain is powered from a power bank and in practice the unit is OFF more the ON thus conserving battery consumption.
The kitty’s are slowly adapting to the fountain but still prefer to drink from a glass in the left bowl of the kitchen sink and yes… there is a bowl of water next to their food – go figure.

The Pod Project – 10
We are moving along now, the back left corner and back centre are completed in this session.
We have done the left back pad. The new 40mm pavers did not work out so I found some leftover pavers that were thicker and used three of them.

The Pod Project – 9
Another late start but I have refined the procedure steps from gravel bed to checking that the bubble is inside the lines which should speed things up with less energy input.
We are doing the back right pad and using the poly roofing sheet to ensure things are square.

Slow progress lately we seem to be more away from home?
Refining the procedure to be more efficient and reduce rest breaks.

Feeling good starting this session we get to do more interesting like measuring up the site for the pod foundations.
There we have it… the pod location.
At 5.0M x 2.4M it looks larger than I envisaged!
The string line across the middle is my base reference for the welded steel pod base frame.

Al’s Kitchen – Tip of the Week
Frying mince can be a bit tiring on the arms.
Tonight ET is doing Spaghetti Bolognese and my part is (you guessed it) frying the mince!
I use a slotted spatula and a larger fork.
Yeah… so what?
