Better with castors that can be locked methinks. But TBH I also would find it hard to slide around on it under the Disco even if I could get it into the garage, my gut precluding.....
So I put down a piece of hardboard from the back of an old kitchen cupboard which has a shiny side I can slide on, or a piece of shiny faced ch!pboard.
I don't slide well on 1" gravel!!

Trend Micro's pointless HouseCall antivirus

Yes I was well and truly gutted, I had only just put it through it's MOT and we were going away for the weekend in it that night.

When I lived in France as a languages assistant I bought an old Renault 6, in the days before the Controle Technique (78-9) and it too had the left rear suspension sort of collapse. I took it back to the place I bought it from and they repaired it by cutting through the sill just in front of the rear suspension and putting summat in there to strengthen it before welding it all back up. Like you I drove it for quite a while like that including a trip to Compiegne from Lille and back. I think when I sold it on it had the same thing on the right hand side!

A French friend of ours in his 80s who used to be able to have any car he wanted as a company car, (drives Mercs) now, reckoned that his Renault 16 was the best car he ever had!
My (French) ex's uncle had one and drove us to our wedding in it. I'd stayed with them the night before, got soused out of my head and woke up with a stinking hangover, so I washed it completely twice to get rid of the pain! Then we decorated it, as they do over here, with pink ribbon as it was a white car!

Hope your back is better. I spent a lot of time yesterday climbing up and down a ladder to replace umpteen tiles on a roof. My left knee has told me to find something else to do today!

Yes that's pretty gutting.

Liked your Renault 6 story, sounds like a similar thing and that the repair shop knew exactly what to do based on experience. They were probably similarly constructed, there was a family likeness and I recall the 6 was known as a 'mountain goat' due to a go-anywhere reputation, then when the 16 came out they were called 'executive mountain goat' due to their more luxurious appointment, for the time. I miss them.

Sorry to hear your knee's causing grief, those tiles must individually be heavy based on a weight you mentioned in another post. I'm guessing concrete tiles?

My back's better now thanks but it never really fully goes away, I have to be careful. Due to my height and what I mainly do but luckily it was a muscle strain rather than something worse. Legs, knees, arms, shoulders also complain a fair bit...

Afternoon folks :).

Did another 1hrs work this am 7:30 -8:30 stacking wood, then the sun got to the wood pile and we were leaking so that was that. Back in for freshly squeezed orange juice.
Should finish the last load stacking tomorrow and so the shed will be full. next load will be at the house so close if the snow/rain gets to bad.

Went to town yesterday and got some personnel man scaping stuff (head hair;)) so it was a number 8 on the back patio late afternoon, left the birds a fair pile of nice warm nesting:). Just got fed up having to go to the Barber. M says I look younger not sure if that's a good thing:p.

So its been high 30s today.
Cooked some boiled eggs and some salmon fillets. now in the fridge to go with the salad this evening.
Been drinking water like its going out of fashion:).

Next problem is the likelihood of wildfires, couple of hedgerows and stubble fields (luckily stubble harvest in) on fire when we went into town firemen on it, but they are gonna be busy for a while.

All this stacking wood, 30 degrees and stubble fires makes it hard to imagine deep snow! I suppose you have a continental climate there.

Those hair clippers are great, got some 25 years ago and never looked back, Mrs just whizzes over it every 6 weeks or so and Bob's yer uncle. Still on original machine (Wahl) and the cost of it has been saved many many times over with no visits to Barbers.
