I am certain my back problems are a result of laying hardwood strip flooring. I laid a LOT, for a couple of years. Back in the day the floor nailer was positioned on the strip and you hit it with a heavy mallet, I was usually on piecework too so ignored all the pain and got on with it. The arrogance of youth eh!

I'm out of sympathy this week.
Backs not happy. Knees are complaining and the tendonitis I'm the wrists is flairing up.
Arrogance of middle age.

Working hands is great, but its best to cut or abrade away any dry/hard skin first. Then apply any normal hand cream, half hour later use this and it seals it in. WH is like a sealing wax. If you use it alone on hard skin it wont do much.

I got a new charger for my 18650 cells today, Amazon got I here in less than 24 hours on a free Prime deal!
I managed to break to old 2 cell one and couldn't sensibly fix it so got this.

I have one of the xtar series with six battery bays. One by one, all the springs busted off their anchors inside. Got two working slots left.
Really, I should have sent it back when the first one broke, too late now.
It's repairable, but a pint'ass.

That's what happened to my old one and it looks exactly the same design as this does. I found you have to push the tab back with your finger then insert the cell and not just force it down with the cell as that's what snapped mine. I may lube the track this time round.

Already there. This is repairs to leak damaged floors. Though the stairs are being refinished by a french polisher in the new year. Again.

John Lewis delivery went wrong and did some damage just before the leak.

A nice M&W 0 - 1" depth mic, will be a bit lot more accurate than cheap plastic thing I've got for setting the timing on my Villiers engines.

Ahhh. But you and I both know you get what you pay for.

Today I acquired a digger and dumper, digger has the fancy cab angle ram on it which will be useful on tracks and working on steep banks.

Not sure where either of you are but we are doing a clearance job near Hitchin in the new year. Should be a few tons up for grabs.
