I think by the time I’ve done the round trip to up norf it might work out quite expensive

 

[brightspark]

View attachment 198048 Picked this up yesterday don’t have much use for it but always thought it’d be handy gave one . €30 later i have iv only had a quick chance to try it on the first water soaked bitta scrap timber I could find in the yard and it ate through it so that makes me happy

I use mine as an electric chisel.

They do up here, but you then have to humph it to your property - disobligingly they won't drop it at your gate, or come in and do your paths.

I live in Northamptonshire, it’s the most broke county council in the U.K. (soon to be disbanded and made into two unitary authorities) They don’t do anything, barely grit the roads and defiantly no yellow bins anywhere near where I live

Wickes this evening

Damaged bags of Rock Salt, reduced to £2.5

asked some random employee how much was in each bag, he didn’t know but turned out to be the manager. He wanted them out of the way for a bit of reorganisation. offered to me for £1 a bag

So I took all five bags. Came home and checked on the luggage scales, just ripped bags and mostly to full weight

Wickes are great for this I don't know how they end up with so many damaged bags but I've saved a fortune over the years buying torn bags, most of the time they're pretty much the original weight anyway.

A little bonus in that the bags they put the torn ones in make great rubble sacks

My missus and a neighbour gritted the lane last year, she was driving his pick up but hadn't driven a manual for years! And he was shoveling the grit out the back, good luck to him!

Best place to shop at Wickes is round the back in the skip.

( Had a 1000 pound worth of stuff out of there last year at least. )

 

[Memmeddu]

Today I may acquire a big refrigeration cell (is it right) for free
I've asked to the owner who want destroy this thing that is something like 12x8x3meters
If he confirms that it can be disassembled ...
Me my brother and couple of friends will go there to take this thing to our land in the country
We need a kind of storage space there to put into various building equipment (for the majority scaffoldings)

 

[Dieselman 63]

A taper turner for my Colchester Bantam, and a new apron handwheel (broken one shown). I’m very happy indeed!

 

[jimbo84]

A bit of heat in the garage.

I had this in the shipping container but it had as much effect as candle in a cathedral and loaded up the genny so moved it to the garage where it is of more use.

 

[paulmitchell1984]

I had one of those for a while until I realised how much the electric bill went up lol... Brilliant heat for a small garage though

Today I acquired.
This very nice 53 inch camel back straight edge.

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

These arrived today...£100 so not cheap as chips but A777 bits ain't cheap so I'm very happy.

I did deploy some dubious fleabay bid tactics....not breaking any rules of course.

 

[Farside]

One of those tools once you use one you keep finding new jobs for it and wonder how you managed before you had it.

Exactly. There are numerous times in the past few years I've been thinking I'd have to footer about with this, that or the other when I've suddenly recalled.... THE MULTITOOL! Five minutes later, job jobbed.
