will order a back up spare
"JC Weld" is that the good lord's version of J-B Weld?Servicing the generator today new filters oil the radiator had a leak so removed it a split in one of the fins would take to long for a new one from Italy so decided to repair it with JC weld will find out tomorrow if successful fingers crossed
Is that your personal grading process or one you are stuck with from building control or summat?
I can see the ones on the boards look a little manky, holes gone wrong etc. Or am I imagining it?
Now you're going to tell me those are the ones that passed muster!!!
+ they are fitted & there was more put on the after the pics were taken.
Well, moved some of grand daughters stuff today, had a laugh, good day.
Meal out with new gf tonight, it's her birthday
That's the trouble if thay get to thin and Dusty thay split through the length in line with the nail hole on removingI did a big job and thay wanted Spanish slates because cheaper so much variation in thicknes had to sort them to the same for each course and lots of defects and soft spots cost more in the long run
We are taught no to slate the Scots.
I think you put that pic up before, was it back in the days of "wingnut"?
Guess that is why there are Brass bands but not copper ones.Nothing useful to report, so I am off to my pit.
Found out something useful today.
Copper doesn't "ring" but Brass does.
The vase thing we rescued from the MIL's shed yesterday that was the colour of an old tarnished copper pipe is in fact Brass.
I scrubbed it and got the dirt off and then polished it up with "Brasso" (only three-ha'pence a tin. You can buy it or nick it from Woolworths, but I doubt if they have any in.) and it came up lovely. Literally rings like a bell/gong.
Copper just has a dull "THUD".
Night!
You can play around with V = π r2 h/3I dont do sums cause I is thick.
I think you mean "He hecho 2 tejados en español" as you well know my little kilt-wearing, Spanish-bagpipe-playing mate!!
Sounds like you have it all sorted
Yes its all a compromise really, we persevere with satellite because the internet's not up to streaming full time where we are in either Spain or Portugal, it would be only 4G since there are no copper cables or fibre. The satellite Internet is good and we use it for streaming occasionally, but not ideal although it has a UK IP address so we're not geo-blocked. We have DVDs too, in fact I'm watching Cracker on DVD right now as it happens. Its all a bit old school but works for us and we don't watch TV during the day - too much to do like both of you.
I meant to say after that pic of the wasps nest you posted that they look like different wasps to the ones we get here. The nests they build are open and have hexagonal compartments. Sounds like your ones 'home' if they are going back to where the nest was, I've never seen them do that here.Due to weather and forthcoming round of inviting peeps to din, which we always seem to leave till the last min, been a bit of a borin mornin.
Still, went through our stock of preserves.
Chucked out 3 big jars of gherkins which were basically too old.
Salvaged the over-gloopy Creme de Cassis by simply slopping a bit out of the bottle and replacing it with a bit of vodka, so that was good.
W making home made tomato soup as the test lot was lush! For guests tomoz.
I am about to steam clean the ground floor as a dog or two has brought in some weird stuff, no idea what and never seen it before.
Oh and a bunch of wasps have gone back to where the old nest was, roughly, and they seem to have young with them. We have no idea what they are doing but they don't seem pleased. Have yet to Google it to see what they are up to.
Yessdi, about 1/3 of the way up the mountain W's Pluriel's electronic power steering decided to go on the blink. So Stan had a real workout hauling it around all the bends to get us home.
The bonnet didn't want to open, which has almost never happened before. Once that was fixed, tried the usual bettery disconnect to reset it. din't work. So flipped about with it a bit more, and eventually the flipping computer decided to allow us to have the steering back as it should be.
I can't help feeling this is a safety critical item and it should absolutely not be able to happen when driving. Lucky it was me and not W at the wheel.
Have a nice arvo folks!
It's a aluminium one and I haven't had a lot of luck welding that plus I didn't have eny rods"JC Weld" is that the good lord's version of J-B Weld?
Hope all your prayers are answered!
Take it it was too small and okkard to solder.
That's probably why bells are brassNothing useful to report, so I am off to my pit.

Bells are made of bell metal. Which is bronze with a higher tin content than ordinary bronze.
