  1. Fascia's are what the guttering is fastened to, soffit is the underneath part that you can see from the ground. If you are going to do the replacing of guttering, you need roughly an inch fall per 3.6 mtr length. Brackets are roughly every 800mm.
  2. Yesterday, i did a 1 hr fun swim with the kids, then i did 30 mins kettlebells in the aft, followed by a 30 min bike ride and loved every minute of it. tonight i have just done 30 mins kettlebells. ( i just love those things ).
  3. joiner by profession, but have hgv 2 to fall back on, along with management cpc for office work.
  4. i bet words cannot describe what you must be feeling right now justin, and to those that carried out the raid, your time will be up !
  5. if it was me, and windfall says 1 ton = just under 2 cube. then i would use a figure of 1.5 cube per ton. This way should ensure you always calculate enough stock. just my thoughts on it.
  6. i recon it all comes down to the type of work you do (ie office / manual/ driving) at the type of training if any you do and diet etc. i feel stronger now at 42 but not as fit as my late twenties early thirties. I have changed my fittness routines to suit as well. Absolutely adore kettlebells (thanks to you lot),even doing kettlebell classes with women now. Also having a healthy mindset also helps.
  7. at my current place of work, they are mad on both hayter and john deer mowers.
  8. i normally buy whatever is on offer at tesco every 2 years or so. But saying that, i really fancy upgrading soon, and i'll be having a very close look at the kodak range. They're suposed to be really good and decently priced.
  9. i had some bone removed from my knee some years back. Walked into hospital in the morning, walked back out again in the afternoon. My op was on a thursday, so took caravan away for weekend, back at work monday. no problem.
  10. it was parked on a busy main road, it was just mindless opportunists, it happens in spits and spats round here.
  11. i once had the rear window smashed on a car, years ago. it was some local yobs, they drove past the car and threw a brick at the window as they were driving past.
  12. Just wondered how everyone is doing with their training. I've only had mine a couple of months, but love em' to bits I certainly know when i've been using them.
  13. not long ago, i was averaging about 1000 business miles per week, changed companies now down to about 120 business miles a week.
  14. whats the most anyone has towed with one of these. They're rated at 1300kg braked towing capacity. surley not. but then again i have seen one or two towing caravans.
  15. try machine mart, they do a clarke version.
  16. try screwfix, they should have them, if not any decent tool shop.
  17. Can i just turn this around a bit. I am just going thru the final stages of being crb checked etc, before starting work with someone in the public sector. The work is on an as and when basis but have been assured it will be in blocks of at least a month at a time if not more. Now the starting pay only £14k. which in truth is a struggle for me. But ! i then get holiday pay (accrued) sick pay, pension, use of equipment, all training payed for, so as far as i can see this becomes a better propersition. It is not always about the pay but about the 'Package' Also, i am going to use this as a kick up the backside and get my own business up and running in the manufacturing of gates, log stores etc. which by accepting the above position, gives me some income whilst i also try and generate my own. This country is on its knees, its time to be realistic imo, regarding work opportunities. Hope it all makes sense. cheers.
  18. Nooo ! wrong end of the stick my dear friend.
  19. as said previously, dont discount the makita range, they make a decent range. you should be able to find one to suit your needs.
