    Twas my plunge saw that trimmed my left index by 8mm. And that was after I had taken it off the work piece and de-triggered it as I realised that what I had planned to use as a guide wasn't going to work. The nurse in A&E said that I was right...

    Yer but using the mitre saw means getting the flipping thing out, finding a safe place to put it, getting an extension lead etc etc. I agree it does make great cuts but......... So you ain't a fan of the jack saw then? Fact is, if I am moving...

    I object to that. I'll have you know I just had a bath and it's not even summer yet. Although I couldn't see the bottom of the bath when I got out, it was a bit cloudy. Maybe next time I'll have the first bath instead of the oinker. 😁

    What about fitting a (removable) tank onto the truck. And a bit of hose to connect it to the caravan? Then you could fill it up and no humping it back to the caravan.
