Good morning everyone on this warm, sunny Saturday morning. Certainly makes a change from the last couple of cool days!
I have been in the garage having a look at a problem with my awning that I found yesterday when I was showing my daughter how to fix her solar panel to the roof of her car.
Most of the pop rivets holding the awning to the backing plate had broken. Apparently it is not an uncommon problem but I didn’t know about it and only found it by accident.
You can see good pop rivets on the right hand end but the next two are completely missing.
The whole awning is pulling away from the backing plate (you can see the broken rivet stubs). It actually is not as bad as that, I was pulling on it for the picture.
I have temporarily strapped it together until I can get to Bunnings (probably Monday) and get some suitable bolts to replace the rivets.
Sorry about the pics they were taken from videos.
Anyway that’s my next job.
Enjoy the weekend and time to recover from the over indulgence of Christmas, I am having a no food day.
Take care…
