Found some old wheels from a cart - with the addition of some tubing (from an old kiddies swing), some pipe (left over from plumbing) and a couple of nuts and bolts, I now have this:

My very own set of detachable wheels for hauling the compactor around ...

My shed now has 40% less floor space due to crap!

The Spousal Overunit is quite chuffed with the wacker wheels - you should have seen the state of the grass when I had to move the thing around without them ...

how come you are still using/moving the wacker i thought the plan was to use it then sell it. Are you hiring it out? or are you doing paving work behind our backs without posting the full details? :D

I have got to take the garage floor up soon so the vast quantity of "stuff" I have kept will have to go in the yet to be purchased/erected sheds.

we've got a massive barn, a 4 car workshop, 2 double garages full of crap. plus 2 full size shipping containers, then a yard stacked with pallets and crates of drainage stuff, timber, flags, bricks, stone, linetls, steels, fencing, machine buckets etc. we've got buckets off machines we haven't owned for 10 years or more.

every decade we get ruthless and throw it all out/scrap it, burn it, bury it etc the more space you have the more junk you collect.

We keep everything just in case... and they every few years have a damn good clear out, but it's guaranteed that the week after you need something that you binned

Mikey, the plan _was_ to sell it but I never got round to it - I also reckon that I've got a bit of hard landscaping to do around the garden for a while yet ...
