As long as no one was hurt, it's just a cost of business.

Totally agree it happened when the chunk of steel (probably about a tonne) was already in the skip, I usually have 2 banksman
one was helping elsewhere in the yard & I told the other lad to scape up with the mini digger (2 blown tyres in 2 days) so cant
sustain that, so they were well out the way. That snapping off would have killed someone. The lads are well trained to stay out the
way & we all have 2 way radios to communicate, usually its a whistle to get my attention & I boom down n cut the revs.
No harm done.

So you've managed to bust your new toy? Bet come Boxing Day you'll do it again!!
Reminds me of the kid who said that for Xmas he'd got an "indestructible toy" when his mates asked him what he did with it he said "I used it to break all my other toys!".

Just lit the fire .

Used a paper from the box dated 2011.
When I was travelling for work (business class) I would always pick up a paper from the rack in the lounge.
Used them for masking up when spraying walls/ceilings in the house, got loads left, walls and papers

2011 you could have traded them in for free chips

Nope I broke that the 2nd day

Busted 2 hoses & wasted 140 lts of hydraulic oil separate busts & 2 full tanks.
The grab was on the JCB duck.

The sheer is on the cat.

Useless note of the day;
The first bus in the UK to run on fuel created from human excrement ran from Bristol to Bath, ------- on the Number Two route

Better than pumping it into the water ways

Maybe I should start with taking all the "useful" stuff out of the back and from behind the seats first .

Still not sure how the old air suspension bags for the L322 ended up in there .

Skip on wheels?

Morning All.

Still here. Lifting and carrying 1,000lbs of firewood doesn't kill you, it just makes you a bit sore.

Dry and mild here.

Builder coming round today for the new loft hatch measure up.

Have a terrific Tuesday.

Finally, at last, I have re-fitted the top injun cover on me tratter. Only been off since June 2023, and ready to go back on since August when I stuck some new insulation on it. Only took 5 minutes, which would have been two minutes If I had picked the right spanner first time - had to go back into me workshop to get another

High pressure gloom yet again.
Has been dry for a few days now.
both of us are up and just about eating normally.
Frustrated as I want to, yet again, get the timing belt cover off W's car and have a flipping good listen to the funny noise that occurs when started from cold first time of the day. It drives really fine but.....
But stomach hurts too much for bending over for very long.
