Mrs Robo had spotted one at a garden centre, but I found it cheaper to go direct to Keter, plus as a first order I got an extra 10% off
I can recommend Keter products, well made and easy to assemble.
I've got some Keter Stacking toolboxes - good stuff. Way cheaper than DeWalt & other big branded alternatives as well.I fixed the outdoor storage.

Glad you got it fixed. Was the boiler on whilst the delivery took place? Although the gunge at the bottom of the tank sits there doing nothing, when a tank is settled, it gets stirred up something rotten when oil is delivered. I keep our boiler off for a good couple of hours, during and after the delivery, and check the tank with a torch for floaters, before restarting the boiler.I spent a happy hour or two working out why my oil ch boiler kept cutting out afterc work tonight (I've had an oil delivery yesterday).
It worked OK last evening.
Long story short, after attempts to bleed air out, & checking tank filter etc - I worked out that the long feed line seemed to be blocked. I disconnected the line after the tank filter... and then got my 100L portable compressor out & used it to blow back the fuel line from the boiler end back to shift any obstruction.
Messy, not v environmentally friendly (but it's cold & we want heating & hot water!).... but it did the trick. Boiler bled up easily afterwards, and the house is warm
Missus left it about an hour after delivery. Mind you they rocket the stuff in with those big hoses, so any crud in the bottom might stay in suspension longer than an hour perhaps?
Reminds me of a trailer my dad bought at an auction. First time I used it a wheel folded in on the first bump I hit.so i bought a new trailer for moving the quad about. it was a farm auction buy (along with a spare wheel for my lorry) so i took a gamble. it was £35 so not a bad deal, even with its issues.
but its definitely going to need at least one tyre...
date coded 1991..... got to be the oldest tyre i've ever used. and yes, i towed it home like that. was a bit butt pucker-y.
the trailer is also not quite long enough, not quite wide enough and rusty. very very rusty.
i thought i took before pics, but obviously not.
after needle gunning revealed it wasn't just a couple of pin holes...
started cutting up...
quad came in useful for holding the nose steady...
and after a lot of cutting and welding plate in
its solid again but the front x-member is unsalvageable. it was full of black nasty water, as it sits nose down and there's nowhere for the water to go.
unfortunately its the weekend and there is nowhere for me to get steel, so its going the be a next week job to put it back together, much to my disgust.
another job nearly completed with scraps of steel... robbed a bit out of dads workshop... im sure he'll be ****** when he finds out tomorrow.....
that was a fun game to play when i worked as an agri mechanic... throw a few random nuts and bolts under someones tractor and watch the panic when they thought they had it all back together properly
Or leave a unused filter after an engineer had changed 100.that was a fun game to play when i worked as an agri mechanic... throw a few random nuts and bolts under someones tractor and watch the panic when they thought they had it all back together properly
Yes, and?You rotten ......'s.
