Looking like your now stuck until March mate

We also measured out the Big Dummy sidecar and the pizza oven and a supply box fit perfectly so it may well be pizza on the beach once it warms up a bit.
Stay safe everyone.

That's a definite invite for a bikepacking ride then.

I wonder how much beer it's possible to carry by bike...

Well I can carry 4 crates of beer in a rucksack. Starts off heavy, but gets lighter the further you carry it

Re:

4 crates? You need to up your game

I think I've found my next build, adequate beer storage, and room for Pizzas at the rear

That would go down a bomb in the park Beats the hotdog stand hands down

Today I'm a bit further on with my mantle, though still only about 3/4 down with more timber to machine, more decorative aspects to add - Around the opening area and under the top to make it look like its twice as thick,then fitting tight to the wall, though as you see its pretty much free standing.
Sanding and finish should set me back another 100 or so, but all in all its only really cost me about 400 about to get to this stage. I'm figuring it would likely cost about £2.5K+ to have something like this made(obviously those are showroom pricing, with labour,overheads,profit etc added in, but it should ,as long as the rest of the room is up to spec, add to the worth of the house.

Certainly far better than the B&Q horrorshow that was fitted. I'm happy with how it's turned out and well chuffed the choice of making it in the two tones was the way to go rather than all in maple.
Really cant wait to get this sanded and a finish put on, its really going to snap

Only wish I'd managed to get into this when it mattered :? Opportunity is long gone now.
Still nice to make the odd bit and bob.

Re:

Nice local morning ride in the snow today, just enough snow to smooth out the trails making them pretty quick to ride, without making it hard going.

Best bit was having a clean bike at the end of the ride!
