So ive gone & done a thing

Afternoon everyone.
So at 03.00a.m this morning I was perusing ebay , gumtree & the other sites as you do, in the quest to find equipment, tools & products to improve my skills ( lol, I use the word skills very loosely..) ... & to put my new eurotorch to the test.
Now at 14.00 I'm sat waiting to unload my van which is full of box section, rebar, tubing, & steel mesh, problem is , it's now pouring with rain, the wife wants to know where I've been & what is in me van that I'm desperate to get too????

The rain will clear soon. We had it near Lichfield a couple of hours ago. It lasted about 10 minutes. Where did you go, on a Sunday, for all the stuff in your van?

Afternoon Bourbon
Believe it or not a very large country estate in tetbury. A builder has been tasked to clear some buildings in the old estate yard & recommission them.
I went this morning not realising quite what he had, but now I do.... I've arranged to go back & collect 5 spillages of assorted box section, 2 spillages of tubing, 2 spillages of steel mesh, & he says he's going to throw in loads of assorted heavy fittings... bonus.
Enjoy the rest of your afternoon.

Run your rod or mig welder torch along a straight edge, might help.

That's a good idea, I will give it a go.
Thank you for the advice.
