Default Internet trolling pays off again

Bought a fairly nice copy of 'Special Pattern Vehicles' for $41.00.
Late nights trolling for goodies pays off eventually.

Don't have one of these trucks yet, but you never know when I might be posting that I just found one and bought it.........

The new shed has arrived!
Not built mind you, but arrived. Concretor went away for 2 weeks as of last Monday. Typical. Slab won't be started until week after next...at earliest.

I did get the slab base flattened and built up ready for slab. But, and there's always a 'BUT', when the earthmoving fellow had gone I measured the size........and yep......it was the right size for shed....BUT didn't allow enough extra space around for the shed builders to put their ladders on. Last weekend was spent carting blue metal roadbase and extending size by roughly 3 feet. If you want something done properly, FORGET IT, and expect the worst. Never disappointed that way.
