Becky’s #WalkingSquares
Today was another day spent doing the walk from the shed to the house. It was a productive day. I have cut all of the timber into the lengths I need to make the gates.
So today I was walking like a man
Here are the last two planks of timber to be cut and the workings. My Makita Drop-Saw has been used to build my house and many a project. It was a bit tired by the end of today but a clean up and service will see it ready for the next project.

Hopefully the next time you see these pieces of wood, they will look a lot different.

While going back and forth sometimes something pops up.
The Sun really lit up the cross on the St Andrews Cross Spiders web.

I knew someone was watching me. Possibly a Splendid Ochre Butterfly but I am not one hundred percent sure

Thankfully I did a major clean up and cover the unused timber as it rained in the evening. The garden needed a good watering.
The Four Seasons–they are from New Jersey–just like me! They have always been one of my favorite groups–such great harmonies.

What a peculiar spider! Does it really only have four legs or am I somehow just not seeing the other four?!

You aren’t seeing the other legs. A clever disguise. They are side by side so the spider forms an X too 🙂

quite extraordinary what they do, not sure I’d be that relaxed around them as also rather creepy!

I do keep my distance as they can have a bit of a bite but not fatal. I love the pattern 🙂

yikes, not even the pattern is beautiful enough for me to get close if they bite!

It was a rather good effort. Carrying four metre lengths wasn’t easy. It will be fun making the gates xx

ooh no, you really would need to find your super powers to do that. Enjoy the next stage x

After cutting and stacking, I think the finished gates will be heavy as well x

Yes, the bloke who replaced my burnt boundary fences said he would help when I was ready. I’ll really need it. I am trying to work out where I can store them until I am ready to hang them x

Yes Two gates 2.7M long and 1.2M high and two gates 2.1M by 1.2M Made from 100X25mm boards of Australian hardwood.
Had to make double gates otherwise I would have to change the front entrance posts

woah!! Are you sure two of you will be enough to hang them when that time comes?

Oh yeah. He has an offsider as well. Once they are on the hinges, it’s done.
Measuring is everything so the gates don’t have to be handled much

Great gallery, Brian. I’m quite taken with the St Andrew’s cross–for absolutely no reason 🤪
