Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

[Grizz1963]

Lots of small random jobs happening here st the moment.

Been preparing parts of the garden for making the soil that comes out of the ground work disappear including rejigging some garden beds and using railway sleepers or ties to raise beds.

There is a part of the garden known as “The Secret Garden” partly because it completely obscures my garage and workshop area chaos, and also because animals, cats, foxes, birds etc can disappear into it.

So I am extending it to creat more space to hide some more soil.

Currently the grass and soil removed to have the sleeper a flat surface is being used elsewhere to raise parts of the lawn and hopefully reduce the chances of falling off the small floor in front of the BBQ.

While digging down a bit more, I hit what seemed to be a rock, but turned out to be metal.

A rusty relic.

I would love to know when this cobblers last/anvil landed here. And why.

So once i had made good my work, I also cleaned up the last.

Video of the process.

After cleaning up I made some amazingly good beef meatballs wrapped in some smoked bacon.


Of course George continues to observe his space and marks it when I am not around.


I also pruned my fruit trees and cut down the weeds out back that were as much as 8-10 foot tall.

More random stuff later.
