Albatross!!!

Had a nice run out in me tratter today, 60 mile round trip to visit dottir, and do a couple of jobs while I was there. Took the country roads there n back, lovely drive. Back at Wimblowdriver Towers now, second chilled Guiness drunk an off to the...

Reminds me of a job I was on in the early eighties. The old boy who was the tea boy and breakfast cooker was a soldier in North Africa during WW2, told us that they were rationed to one square of bog roll per day (the slippy, hard type). They had...

Good job. Can I ask why you are removing it? J

So it only took 2.30 this morning to clear one half of the loft, 30 bags zip tied off, hoovered and bleached. Daughter helped. I’ve bought all the ppe, hepa vacuum, paid her £300 and still come in £2k under quote skip dependant. Same task again...

The mighty grey Fergie. Good choice sir 👍

Don't envy you the task at all. Small parcels of it shoved into bin-liners and tied off and lobbed thru the hatch. For each "goal" reward yourself with 1 ice-cold beer. Job "jobbed" in no time. Are you vacuuming out all the "bits" too?

Exacerbated by being in a Tyvex suit with a ffp face mask on 🤣 It’s my own fault, I could’ve paid the £3k the contractor wanted to do the job. I just channelled my inner @kevstar and thought the money would be better spent on a tractor.

They are only young 30s? So they have time to change or at least make a stool wif an ole in it;). J

Thats not going to be a nice job. If you need any moral support I will be cheering you on from the pool, OK :) J

I have the unenviable task of removing 30 year old loft insulation today. Unavoidably the task day is set for today and tomorrow. Having been up there last week, it is like a furnace.

Truble is you are not supposed to leave standing water around as it encourages tiger mosquito. Which is a real bore as it means I have to fit the water reservoir pump each time we want to use it. The hole is covered by a concrete manhole cover.

Afternoon Sunny and warm Got some respite from kidney pain till stone moves again, making the most of it 🙂 Beef, spuds and cabbage for tea, that's a salad to me :D Painted one of trucks wheels, got Daresbury Steam Show at weekend Stay cool and...

Been through everything google search has given, thats how I ended up on this forum :p. I know that the easier way to do this it to: keep the 300 tdi cluster Swap the pedal box from the 300 tdi disco Front and rear body mounts should line up...

The sort of character that starts wars.

I can't tell if this is a regular who made a new account to create some fun; or a complete mong.

We all agree on one thing. Everything was fine for atleast a year. Until he opened his mouth….

You said you’ve been on this forum a while. Clearly you know it all so go else where please.

@blue beasty do you think this thread could be shifted to AG or deleted or summat, as members of the public looking in might maybe get the wrong end of the stick as to how things are on here when genuine people ask genuine questions for genuine...
