Your crystal ball needs charged up Alex.

 

 

My mate took it as a trade in. One owner, barely 50k mls, fsh, well under book price. The only mark in the load bed is from a spilled yoghurt.

He got my last one and you know how well it did me, think he's done it again.

I can confirm it enjoys doing a ton, haven't pushed it yet.

Congrats, lovely truck.

I have a black Nguard version , manual . All I can say is do at least one long trip a week . By long I mean 40 odd miles total . 

 

Cheers Stubby, I did think of your need to take a long run regularly last night.

I'll cover that distance on working days and I'm not known to dawdle whilst doing it so hopefully it keeps it happy.

Good morning.

Day after the expected apocalyptic storm. Bit of a non event. Bit of (well needed) rain all but gone now, except in the old barrow.

 

Enjoy the new truck Doug.  I'll maybe shovel out the cack from my shed today if I feel over energetic. 

 

Have a relaxing day.

Morning all,

 

Lazy Sunday, sister coming over. Have a good one.

[PeteB]

Not packed yet, rugby was epic, couple of pre match beers too. Best get up and sorted as taxi coming at 11:30¡  Be safe today!

 

Chicory, Poke, Curry.

That's me packed! I'm a sort of "chuff it! I'm packed!" Sort of bloke who packs on the basis of  "If I forgot pants then I'll buy them locally!"

 

Have plastic, will travel! I'll send you all a 'Spoons breakfast' picture later!

Never used decent felt, only gashy garden stuff. For that reason I'm not a fan. Too fragile to work with, too fragile in place. I assume your pukka stuff is a bit more resistant to bending by heavy handed installers. The other thing I've never liked about felt on wood it is the water sandwich that you make if there's a leak.

 

I helped my mate do his shed roof a few years ago. Brick built onto house, OSB and wrinkly tin on top. I thought it was a waste of OSB at first because the tin has enough intrinsic strength but the result is really good. It's airy in the gaps and nice and woody inside so slightly insulated and easy to screw to. And strong as **************** obviously, a design consideration because he didn't want scallys stamping through it to nick tools.

I'm very pleases with the insulated steel profile roof I put on my shed. Bought as seconds with with 30mm of insulation built in. Not much of it visible now as I added 8 more PV panels, room for 4 more too and I aim to get 2 on this afternoon.
