Hippo's latest activity

Our cottage is over 400 years old so the walls are over 2ft thick, the living room wall to windows go in at an angle so ideal for frame fixings for hinges as it wont obscure the window. Need to look at designs and fittings.

So, having been to the weekly producers' market then watched bit o a DVD, W has gone to bed and I have to fit the pump, water, unfit the pump then put the hens to bed all by torchlight! Oh and our slightly bonkers neeb has now bought yet...

I remember you posting about this before. Wiv pics if I remember creckly. I may also have said at the time that our Georgian house in Bath had interior shutters. They folded into cavities in the walls either side of the windy. Only practicle if...

That bloke wiv the dodgy diff has now decided he is going to have a go at it! Pleased for him. It is all too easy once you get to a certain age to simply let things slide. Me being a bad offender!

Sad but good. I am sure we all are hoping that your rehab is going as well as it should if not better. Hopefully once done and you are where you need to be then time aay will be a just reward!:)

I am trying to get a few days away but the frequent but irregular meetings of my Cardiac Rehabilitation programme service is making it difficult to do.

Us too. But, the fixing of internal shutters was too onerous and would end up with 2 big bulky lumps on either side of the bay window. Instead I had CNC cut plywood inserts made to fit inside the window panels. They are papered plain on the...

I never asked! TBH I was amazed that the Frog army was that bothered about the paint finish!! If they wanted to keep sand out of other bits of the motors I would understand.

ROFL!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Yer but do they get the grease off with all the sand stuck to it..

Im not asking I will do as im told 🤣 🤣

Oh very nice, I cant have them on the outside id need planning permission as we are on a conservation area. Theyd refuse even if I asked.

Why does she want 'em???

I woz chatting to a Frog bloke this evening at the producers' market, over wine and cheese as we do. He was out in Algeria during some of the "trubles" over there. He said that they used to put grease on the front of their vehicles when they...

Got plantation shutters across the front of the house… 👍

IT aint AG, so.... too public.

Yous been caught by the "thou shalt not post another's post with swearin in it" commandment. I has been caught that way too many times!!

Ringwood Brewery sadly no more! :(:(:( We used to get small barrels of their stuff for parties. :(

OooooH! Yous gonna get an angry face! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Apparently it has the highest rating for enjoyment by students and has held this for ten years. So we are optimistic that he'll enjoy himself. Nice to hear it confirmed that it may well be true!! He's gonna do maths for finance, whatever the flip...

The misses has decided she wants window shutters inside anyone got these, probably cheaper & quickerto buy em rather than me making them.

Use it to secure your bird feeder :cool:

Got 3 pacs of 4" metal cutting discs & 2 big rolls of velcro not sure what I need that for but it was free so couldnt upset a peep n not take the stuff.:D

Had to come indoors its cats n dogs outside stinky weather, wiring will have to wait. Dogs been waked so thats them for the night.

Yup the problems caused by peeps not cleaning it properly after going offroad. We have a mighty pressure washer in the yard but it would take the paint off if yer not careful.

Nuts av bin put outside me trap but not innit. Lets get kev comfortable wiv being by said trap. 3 calls today from the window peeps. All ignored. Eye ain't being rushed into anyfink.

I didn't realise that swearing was verboten on this thread. Apologies.

@Hippo the word ratted has no swearing or connotation other than to an adult. Why the angry face? I specifically did not use the other term because I felt it would fall foul of this rule. If it keeps on like this I may take my custom elsewhere ;)

Yer post includes a quote wiv swearing. Dun't take it personal. You ain't the only one.
