    I very nearly lost everything I had because of corrupt councillors and the planning process. It wasn't just one, it was a whole bunch of them, one even told me to my face he was going to ruin me and there would be nothing I could do about it. For revenge, I reported him for drink driving, he was caught red handed and even got away with that with a slapped wrist So please don't insult me by telling me There's no corruption, to believe there isn't, your either stupid, brain dead or corrupt yourself

    It can be but you need someone who knows what they are doing and not just someone who's got a welder and will have a go. If I remember right the block will have to be preheated, welded with cast rods then allowed to cool very slowly. There,s a lot of impurities in cast Treequip might know how, he,s quite up on things like that
  9. Dean Lofthouse
    That's an easy one Jammy, cut off the faulty bit and do the other side equal and it will make a good digging spade
  10. Dean Lofthouse
    Cast is quite difficult to weld.

    Just stripped the motor and it's a linear motor, the winding are bright copper, no burning so it could only be the capacitor or a little electronic component, tried a new capacitor, I happened to have the exact one in stock and it isn't that, so I,ve priced the little component and it comes in at £1.20 So I could have taken off the motor and stripped and repaired it for £1.20 Hindsight is a wonderful thing

    It's in the handshake Paul... When you are about to shake hands.....lift your right leg as high as you can, put your right arm under your raised leg from behind and offer the hand shake. Problem is, if the recipient is not familiar with this code, you may get a funny look

    Only got two days in this week, I don't like getting my ropes wet. Yesterday evening, got and went to put my gear away and the roller shutter just buzzed, wouldn't go up or down. Suspected motor goosed, so called them out, wham bam £380 plus vat. I,ve forked out a fortune this year in gear, repairs and servicing, be much better off on the dole

    Wandering out of your area their Ian, keep away from my patch mate

    It is what I,m referring to. In my opinion the only thing that counts is qualifications and reputation, not being members of an association. It's no good a company holding AAAC status and employing a load of numpties, I,m sure it happens that they make sure some of their staff are on annual leave when their assessments take place. This is the whole reason I stay as a one man band with one employee, it takes years to earn a good reputation but only one bad job to ruin it. You also find with most of the bigger companies, that they cannot afford to spend time doing a quality job because they have tendered for it and the job then becomes money orientated rather than quality orientated
