Hippo's latest activity

Mornin Sun is shining Sorting paperwork today, needs to be done. Stay busy all :)

Thanks mate! It's been a tough old year and this one ain't being a lot better. We keep hoping there is light around the bend in the tunnel. ;)

.... which is more or less what he said... which is why if you made them today like older craft, they'd cost much more and take longer to build by proper shipwrights/boatbuilders. All Teak and Brass. Larvely!! Or proper welded steel. Or do you...

Oh, a "Sawing" tip from me (don't laugh). Beware the "Double-Cut" jack saws because if you do the usual pull backwards against your thumbnail to get started on your perfect line they saw your thumbnail off. Because they are double-cut and they...

Morning All. :D Another blustery sunny day ATM. :) Have a great day.:D

Congrats! :D

Edgar can soak up about 2L per day from his sourcer. Last night eye jet washed the deadded bugs oft me lupins. Not sure if they will return.

Now you need to calculate each individual plant spices water requirements?

Probably up to his waist in water

Just bin watching wot eye finks is a squirrel. He were checking out me new pipe running along me garage. Interested in me meal wurm feeder but stayed on the roof. Watched a burd come to feed en go. Moved to the support pillar to view it from a...

No rain over night burreye has had squirrels visit so not all bad. Talk ov rain later int week. Might wash ma hippo if this continues.

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.
