Hippo's latest activity

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...

I do like a nice new sharp jack saw, I was just pulling yer leg. :p You do get cordless mitre saws. I also have a dewalt circular saw which is cordless, tis a great bit of kit. Does yer angles/depth cuts. :):)

adjusted that for you 😁

I think the point I am making is that I never had a dad, or an uncle or a grandpa to show me all this sort of thing. When like me you just have to get stuck in, you go out, you buy the tools and the materials and go for it. Remember this was in...

Eye ain't

Eye didnt think yer were older than 80.

Poor wee soul I hope she recovers soon.

So me water butts collected 200L. Me ole meal wurm tub gotted 350ml. Mouth 250mm wide. Web ses: Pie x r x r x h = volume ov tub So vol / ( pie x r x r ) = 350 / 49087 = 0.00713 x1000 is 7.1mm deep Which is about right. 200L / 7.1 = about 28...

So sorry to hear all this.:(:( Commiserations, mate.

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 suspect that this might have been a bit of "preaching to the choir". Anyone who has spent any time on the business end of a handsaw to build anything significant knows this approach. The other thing you didn't remind us was "let the saw do...

The old gal had another procedure today. Wifey went there at 5PM to find that the old'un had only been carted off to theatre 10 mins earlier. At 8PM she called to be told that her Ma was back on the ward but not yet fully with it (is she ever?)...

They wos repeats

Eye didnt think yer were older than 80.

Humping aye :vb-biggrin::vb-biggrin:

Kev's tip of the day..... Chip hand saw on to the back of the bench. Place timber on mitre saw adjust angle you want, hold in place pull trigger & TAA DAAA. 🤣 🤣

Who said filthy was about dirt..? :vb-eyebrows:

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. 😁

Weather is filthier than a tratterer down ere. Plenty rainyblow. Funny but it seems regular here this time of year, just after swmbo's peonies flower. They gets battered.

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.

Have a roll along but it's heavy to work with when full, plus lifting it on and off the truck when going to fill it etc, I take two 25 ltr plastic drums as well

@landowner Search Jacksons leisure They have the fiamma tanks and pumps. Also all the water fill points. I have the fiamma tank

Water tank… fitted to boats /campers have a large opening in the top. Put a vent valve in it & you can back fill these. Have 1 in the horse lotry. Cap is big enough to get hands in to put fittings into the side of the tank. Off for a search for you…

Wharrabout the Roly ones ?

Afternoon Showers here and cool I'm researching water tanks to go under the caravan, fed up with humping water containers about I got some square tubing to go across the chassis for the tank/tanks to sit on (fill em up on site) Shovelled half a...

G'day all. Bin "taps aff" yessdi pm and today more or less so far. Bin workin int polytunnel so got extra sweaty. Forgot how hard it is for me to work at ground level. After a while, and not a very long while, either my knees or my back, or both...
