Well the day has been different. The fascia soffit guys turned up at about 9:30 and have been working away ever since.
Very pleased to report no, or very little damage to the ends of the trusses so the new stuff is going on quick as you like. The Swedish pine they made them out of must have been that slowgrowing stuff someone mentioned on another thread. At this rate they'll be gone in another day or two's time, prolly 1 1/2.
My other pooter has packed up due to the power supply cable giving up the ghost. There seems to be a break in the wire near the plug into the pooter. The transformer shows a light. But no juice at the small plug, or little flickers on my meter, but just once I got about 12V, for a second as I moved the cable around.
Whatever, I'll have to get a new one.
Got a bit concerned this morn as a good friend of mine emailed me to say he was very sick.
so I replied, as you'd expect, then he got back onto me to.....well to cut a long story short, it's a scam.
Big relief matey isn't ill!
Just thinking up how to stick it to the scammer.
Think I'll tell him I am short of funds, but if he gives me his bank details he can wire me some money. To pay for the spurious items he is asking me to get for him. In France. (The mate he piggy-backed knows we are in the UK!)
I will of course not divulge any real bank details etc. How about giving him my sh!tty neighbour's address?
Blast, forgotten their surname.!
All good fun!
Just remembered I promised Wifey I'd clear up the study this arvo while she is with her cronies, sewing. Idiot that I am !
Enjoy the rest of the day folks.
