Monday - truck off the road after a solenoid shorted and set fire to the wiring, pump, battery, hoses and hydraulic oil tank.

 

Tuesday - Truck still off the road and now I find I've bashed the sump on something so I need that smacked back in to shape.

 

Wednesday - truck back on the road and can finally do some work. Insurance covers the truck fire so even better. Couple of easy jobs to get back in to it after a week and half off.

 

Thursday - Smash out two jobs in extra quick time plus get handed a job by the council three times the original size. Hooray, extra money for once. Early day to boot.

 

Friday - Chipper now throws a tanty so spend most of the day in the workshop pulling the carb to bits only to find a PCV valve had been left out during a head gasket change.

 

Bonus for the weekend; after 13 years I finally find a butcher that can make faggots and all to be washed down with some proper english scrumpy. New camera time tomorrow so all in all a good end to a disastrous start to the week.

 

I managed to wake up every morning so life can't be all bad eh? There's always someone worse off.

that sounds like a nightmare.

monday ; two decent size lombardy pops in the next county, one with bt lines, the other with a lamppost under it (full of nails) early finish and all logs/chip left on site, found a mangled saw chain in the chip pile..ooops

tuesday ; awkward dismantle over a crispy asbestos barn roof with early finish including a play with my new chainsaw:biggrin:

wednesday; late start, hedgetrimming a neat high leylandii hedge and two birch and rowan fells, early finish

thursday ; job cancelled till next week so late start, strip ivy from house wall, sit on ridge tiles and drink tea, go home early, change chipper blades and grease.

friday ; lay-in, rewire fuel gauge on landy at last, it now reads over half-full when i thought it was nearly empty:thumbup:, dropped the missus off at her mothers to have a wknd away, been to the pub and had a chinese and the weekend is mine to prep the landies for next weeks mot:thumbup1:

This week was unusual if nothing else - Wednesday saw us craning out most of a big old turkey oak as one big lump, lifting it onto a lorry, driving it across a park, dropping it into a big hole.

 

There'll be pics in a couple of weeks I'm sure and it'll all make sense

 

Oh, and I got a black eye off the cab of the mog when we were winching out the crane lorry when it sank
