On my last trip to the recycling centre, I helped a older gentleman unload this.

Plus this.

Which contained these.

Those are on special at screwfix this month (June). I bought some, the side clips were a little stuck the first time but after I freed them off once they were OK.

The Council have just delivered our new blue lid bins for recycling.
Why does it show how many decibels on the lid?

European directive aimed at monitoring/ reducing noise levels during early morning collections apparently- I remember reading about it a while back and had to double check, but it seems its true!

A 25 pack, should last a while

Wheelie bins are great bass resonators, so they make a fine old racket when you run them down the drive to put them out or bring them back in, particularly when empty. I expect the Germans will have specified a dedicated test surface and procedure to measure the noise generated.

Depends on who is inside them, return journey is normally quieter

It's so that would-be Jungle Drummers know which ones are the best to liberate.

Mrs. Jaeger's Mitsubishi Shogun Penin failed its MOT, so she's just agreed to buy this to replace. I'll get to play with it too.

 

[Jaeger_S2k]

To be re-utilised for my gas cylinders.

Great stepladder, had a 4 or 5 step one, I should never have allowed her to get rid of!

Do you get “What do you need that for?” questions.
I'm dumbfounded by them!

Yes, and I usually respond with what do you need all those shoes for?!

Do the black eyes take long to heal?

 

[E T]

Another couple of nice buys at an auction very close to me.

An International Tools tapping head. Looks a lot like the tapmatic ones.
International Tools is part of Phantom which is a Dutch firm making good quality tooling.
This is the biggest version suitable for M8 to M20 taps.

3x200mm castors

3x angle grinders

1 32A to 16A 3 phase extension cord. Don't know what length, but from the picture I would say 25m.

Especially happy with the tapping head.

About a week!

I can see I'm not alone in my dislike of dusting.

Reminds of a conversation years ago about the dust collecting, he said just pull all the books to the front of the shelf
