I will spend time on the Mini this weekend - starting with using the adjustable rear wheel set up to align the rear wheels. Might even try and photograph it for a how-to.

1. Finish building formwork for rammed earth walls.
2. Dig strip footings for test wall, assemble forms and place rebar.
3. Drill and chemset starter bars in the slab for rammed earth walls.
4. Build a metering box for mixing sand/earth/cement with the bobcat.
5. Screen 99 metric assloads of soil.
6. Install a 100mm aggie drain behind the retaining wall.

None of this involves driving the Mini :cry:
