Re: What have you done today thread?
Helped starting to clear a ruin on spawn's croft and then down to the tip with it
Came back from the tip with another pressure washer, a CO2 fire extinguisher, a couple of 600x400mm eurocrates, a plastic pallet and a couple of roasting pans.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Tried to figure out why the roof is leaking in the summerhouse*. I can see it's damp at the rear, but looking at the bitumen shingles and guttering I can't see owt wrong. Weird.
I suspect the spring may see me pulling all the shingles off and doing the whole thing again. Another arse ache I really don't need.
*or 'shed' if you're working class like me.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Most boats have lots of holes in them Skub. My rowing boat has a long hole in the bottom of it - about 40 mm long x 12 mm wide - I can sail it if I take the notion and that hole/slot is where the dagger board goes. My big boat has holes in the hull for the toilet - inlet and waste, sink waste, bilge pump, anchor locker drain etc. Both of my kayaks have 3 big holes in the deck. On of the big holes is so that the user can sit in the boat.
Another joke: Do you want to make a small fortune? Start with a big fortune and buy a boat!

Royal Navy Submarines are like sharks.
Prowling silently through the deep, mercilessly hunting prey? No...if they stop moving, they sink and die.

That's kinda like me,except even when I move I sink and die. I specialise in the anchor stroke.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 4:34 pmRoyal Navy Submarines are like sharks.

And the pressure washer worked. It had been condemned because of a damaged flex. It now has a slightly shorter, but undamaged, flex.
The fire extinguisher works too. Time to teach the spawn how for use fire extinguishers. On real fires. Just need to buy a holiday cottage in Wales.
