Does anyone have a spare dog house?

[steviec_lj]

Well, this time I've royally put my foot in it, I was pushing it extremely close to the edge last time but managed to blag it!

Last time I got around it by explaining that it was a TIG welder I could use for neat welds on stainless, and that the trip up to Scotland was only going to be £50 in diesel, as I run 50/50 with veg oil, and it was still less than getting a courier involved. Phew..managed to sway that one! Plus, I had a decent sausage and egg bap up there, and came back loaded with goodies!!

Well, as of tonight, I am the proud owner of not one but two ESAB welders. The first is a C250 and its mate a C251, both single phase so will slot in lovely...

Problem is, I kind of said I wouldn't be buying any more as I'd got a good selection already, so that's shoved me right back in the dog house! I give up, there is absolutely no pleasing this woman!!

Sadly though, she will have to put up with them in the house for a day or ten, as I have no room to shoehorn them into currently, although, I have tidied up since these photos, honest!!

I definitely do not "bat for the other side" but always say what inscription I would want on my headstone "Never marry a woman"

I will swop my spare dog house for the two ESAB welders, it will keep you out of trouble.

Sounds better if you say "Never marry a woman" rather than "Never marry a woman".

There's loads of room in that workshop - you just can't find it amongst all the junk!

 

[eSCHEn]

Jesus Steve you weren't kidding mate lol!

 

[eSCHEn]

Okay I showed the wife and said, "Aren't you glad I'm not as bad as that darling?"

I am now getting my ear bent about how I would be exactly the same if I had that much room.

Sigh

 

[Tinbasherdan]

I'm sure I could pay a visit and help "sort" the garage

Haha, I'm sorry mate. I did warn you though, plus I'm pretty sure there's stuff in there somewhere that I've forgotten about.

what!!!!

I had taken quite a chunk of stuff outside purely to get in to be honest. I've got to come up with some space to store around 600ltrs of cooking oil and a method of pumping it into the truck too, which will take up a big bit of space.

Plus note though, once I get it all tidy, there's some serious fettling space in there, what with it being 10x7mtr..

Stevie. You're my blimmin hero!

I'm sat here watching 'Hoarders - Buried Alive' which makes me feel better about my own 'predicament', and then up pops your thread, and the wonderful familiarity of needing to justify your 'bargains' lol.

Why buy one when two offers more resilience?

 

[TurtleDude]

I'd say 6000kg of chipped potatoes, and a burger van to sell them!

 

[Tinbasherdan]

If you've got a small milling machine floating around in sure I could relieve you of it!

I like to have spares, haha!

To think I moved from a single garage after outgrowing both that and the house, it was a new build too so you could hear the neighbours' neighbour squeeze one out, in to this double-double garage which is verging on full!

Why not get three fake water butts

 

[colnerov]

Hi, that's getting like mine, I have to come outside to turn round.

Just have an IBC in the yard, then you can justify buying a pallet truck to move it around.

Only a man bag wearer would know these objects existed....
