Quality 🤣🤣 sunseeker really means skip seeker, bayliner= binliner.. If I show you the machines going through these floating caravans youd see how weak these are. Its shocking tbh. Older crafts are much stronger & safer.

Happy anniversary...... Can you pass this gold medal on to the misses she deserves it for putting up with you 🤣 🤣

Funnily he works for Sunseeker, so he knows quality when he sees it!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 Although he tells me that they are all show on the surface and not so hot behind panels and stuff!! Do you ever get them up in your neck of the woods or are they...

Is this yer neebs...........

Well, Been busy today, lots of stuff for W's gardening, putting together a tin raised bed that she has had in the poly tunnel in its box for about 5 years among other things. But tomoz we will be celebrating 26 yrs married. A day early as the...

I know you are just winding me up, but, no, it is finished. It is the utility that is long drawn out!! The opposite (new) neighbours actually complimented me on the kitching, then laughed at the mess in the ute!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

You've still not finished it :p🤣🤣

Does he not know to run fer cover when yer wukkin?

Wingwanwo batterys are not very good. :p

I lost the plot with my apprentice today, I was putting the gas axe through the lower part of that digger.... (bits that carry the tracks with drive motors ect) The rear balance weight was slewed out to the nearside so lifting the offside 3ft of...

Try these people they do lots of nice kit https://www.caktanks.co.uk/

Well that is funny. When my ex sil gave me his batt powered Dewalt drill, batt charger etc, it came with a cordless saw. As you say does all the angles etc, but it runs out of puff very quickly. I am slowly returning to wired stuff. Batt stuff...

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. 😁
