Hippo's latest activity

Still not sure worrit was. Eye has seen me squirrels ignore most burds. Sat by em. Landing or taking oft by em. Or flying past em. Even biggerer burds like pigwings. But when maggys are about me squirrels leave me garage roof and go int trees or...

Magpies? We have some squizzles near work that are plagued by maggies sometimes ...

Not sure what that valve is there for, temp fitting? while work being done? Personally I would just take it back to the trunking and go from there neatly with 15mm. but then I have a nice pipe bender that could get from the trunking to the rad...

Searched all of the house, all garments, both cars and a lot of outside. Still couldn't find the key to the polytunnel. So had to take the padlock off with bolt cutters. As everyone knows, we'll find it by buying a new padlock. Cool here...

I finished the plastering because it wasn't straight Plumber and joiner fitted skirting and radiator on same morning working together I've since replaced the architrave and now replacing skirting and tidying plumbing up

If yer ain't goranyfink to say, put a post up to tell us. We need to know these fings. ;)

I'm well cheers. I just don't post very often but I do pop by fairly regularly 😀

Orizontal bits get hit wiv more sunshine. So more potentual sun damage.

On my Disco 2, the laquer coat has peeled off massively on the roof. Where I doubt anyone has put any polish on, far too hard to get to. 😜

Gardener.

Plasterer or plumber?

This is the wonderfull job workmen did after plastering the walls 🤔

Your right I spose I don't like compression joints on show so rather than solder a bend in I was thinking I can get a tighter bend in the micropipe so it looks neater. I also have a part roll of micro pipe in the shed and the rad needs a new...

Saw that on tinter web, but "er indoors wouldn't let me go :rolleyes:

Have you got day tickets to Swingerfest?

Tidied part of me garage this morning to a (very) basic standard and binned some junk. Emptied my box of assorted drill bits yesterday and binned most of them (why I kept knackered bits I don't know). Got under me tratter bonnet this morning and...

Or cut shortern in the pipe trunking make them both run above the skirting in a neat manner and lift the Rad brackets a few inchs higher. Or just remake the 1 that used to run along the wall from inside the trunking. or just the last bit from the...

Morning all, I might get some welding done later. Off to polish a bit of my boat I may be back sooner if it starts to rain (very dull n overcast) njoy yer day zooners.

Problem is more than visual Old skirting was only 2" high and one pipe ran above and one along the wood Pipes need to be bended outwards to clear the skirting as they don't (and never have) sit nicely on the wall as they come down So either bend...

Morning All. :D Cat's unwell, has a little diarrhoea problem. :( Usually cats manage to sort themselves out and their gut is very robust, but if she is still unwell by Monday its the Vet's. No thunderstorms and just light rain here (yellow...

Might be, I don't know. I may give it a good MER polish on the bonnet. :cool:

However, I do think Dacia have got it right with that Spring fing of theirs. Small, cheap, reasonable miles. Most other leccy cars are monstrous great things with too many doohickies to drain the battery. Like they say K I S S.

TBH I wouldnt bother, fresh coat of paint on the pipes. Whos gonna see/know/care? (the answer is not you) If you really want them to run on top of the skirting they will be more visible even if smaller pipe. Yes there will be extra resitance to...

In other news. Fresh new pulley fitted to the spare alternator last afternoon. Loctite 620 on the spindle and threadlock on the.. errm.. thread. Running very sweetly now. Made me realise just how crackered the old one was. Now, where's me Sou'...

I gots 6%. Course, 6% of buggrall dunt come to much..

All sounds a bit overblown and iffy to me. Fink I'd find someone else..

Fresh coat of white paint on the pipes, will make it look neater with a lot less work.

Where's the rad? Down stairs hall?

Problem (maybe) Looking to replace these pipes from the pipe cover to the radiator. 15mm to 10mm elbows then 10mm micro pipes along top of skirting boards to rad. Reason is so I can lift pipes higher and get tighter bends to rad valves, should...

Is it just that the clear/lacquer coat is going orf???
