Gottid me battery. When eye were at dhl they dint av it ready. Found it un one of the drivers brought it round on is van. Turns out he had it on is van yesday un is phooter teld him not to deliver it int morning. So he was taking it oat fer delivery again today. We dunt know why it seems to have gone wrong. He weren't far from me when it teld him not to deliver. That was long before eye chose the pickip option after it were cancelled. We finks is phooter as gottid the walrus.
Or they've got a mind-reader back at base and knew what you were going to do before you did it. Spooky!
Aha!
Thanks for enlightening me!
Did wonder, they looked to me like the legs off builder's barrows.
Smoothriteable?Morning All
Certainly a brisk one out there today.
All the usual stuff done, going to have a cup of coffee in moment.
I may be putting up some battening and some curtain track later.
There's another minor problem with the "CHATHE" (CHinese-lATHE), it seems it was spray-painted underwater, all the paint is falling off the sheet steel panels.
Now this is not critical to its operation at all, but it is depressing.
Have a nice weekend.

Better than a smack in the face with a wet fish, just about.The response from the seller is: "We are very sorry for the inconvenience, we have express shipped (FEDEX) 2 new drive belts, and would offer you £40 refund for your troubles."
I think I will cut my losses, take their cash and fix all the issues myself.
Hi Dips, has something happened? Is this apropos of something?
Or just thought for the day?
Maybe i just missed it, as usual!
I think I will try some proper "metal paint" and go for a very light (brilliant White?) colour so as to improve overall visibility in the working area.
I might try Rustoleum or smooth Hammerite. But TBH, anything is better than the "poster-paint" they seem to have used
Smooth Hammerite or Smoothrite! (Well some peeps call it that). https://www.zoro.co.uk/shop/lubrica...MIyunih_OO7gIVw6fVCh1k2QslEAAYASAAEgLO0vD_BwEI think I will try some proper "metal paint" and go for a very light (brilliant White?) colour so as to improve overall visibility in the working area.

But we both know what we mean. I use the black one lots and lots. If you follow the directions to the letter which isn't obvious, it does a great job on surface rust, that has been basically wire brushed and sanded a bit. Just done my tow bar mounting parts and didn't even second coat em.
Best of luck with it.

In my ongoing quest to reduce energy consumption in me house I am currently doing a load of clothes washing while the machine is connected to a power monitor so I can see just how many pennies it costs.
I'll report back once the wash cycle is complete as I know you all want to know the results and I'll then do a tumble cycle and let you know how much that costs as well.
I do like to live life to the max.

Looks like the result of using the wrong paint on contaminated metal. Eye finks a good clean after the paint is removed will be of benefit. Perhaps an etch primer anorl.I think I will try some proper "metal paint" and go for a very light (brilliant White?) colour so as to improve overall visibility in the working area.

I can see where this is leading but don't forget, when you do get a new job people are a bit prejudiced about BO.

I have a washer/dryer so it's all enclosed and doesn't have any eggsauce pipes. It just has a drain to the sink outlet.
Our tariffs don't offer cheap overnight lecky, so it doesn't matter what time of day I run the machine, it would cost the same.

It is a cheapy one from Currys. L8W6D18
As I live alone it makes sense for me to have an all-in-one device as I can put a load in the machine and it comes out clean and dry.

could you not stand in the sink & use the expelled hot water to have a shower. This will save on water & electric
