  1. Shouldn't this post have a spoiler alert on it

    Spanners

    Do they cover the spanners with individual moving parts ? I have heard of people being refused replacements for ratchet parts out of warranty.

    Dolmar

    Because it sounds like a posh person saying "sucks"
  4. A few saws for sale on Gumtree for ms200 fans
  5. Like a bloke I worked with used to say, I'll go as far up as you like as long as I can keep one foot on the floor He was not window cleaner material. My wife just looked at this and said whatever happened to Boy Scouts bob a job week, never thought of that one.
  6. I've done this without the rope tie in bit. Screw a batten to your scaffold board to wedge the base of the ladder. Just looked at the picture again, can't you put a plank out the window below it and get a couple of heavy mates to stand on it while you go out to do the job ? (done that as well)
  7. Has it broken on the hole in the band ? The design was changed after a lot of premature failures repaired under warranty have you got the newer type of band ? They might be getting rid of old stock.
  8. It's just waiting for someone to do a Lorena Bobbit on it now.
  9. We have 3 old ones, my wife loves them and I put a new motor and speed controller in the last one we bought. The spares are getting a bit thin on the ground so we bought a couple to tide us over.
  10. A friend of mine is looking at a David Brown 700 series at present. It needs a new clutch but it's not a bad price. It looks just like that one.
  11. Not on ebay
  12. A house we looked at years ago had problems with raised floors because of subsidence. Is there any evidence of cracking round the door frames and windows ? It had sunk slightly at both ends and a supporting wall in the middle was holding the centre of the floor up so the door above it would only open half way before it grounded.
  13. Where is the house and is the floor the original quarry tile ? If so they were bedded on nothing substantial, ours were on clinker from the local foundry which is notorious for moving on it's own. Our kitchen has a low ceiling and the floor rose so much in the middle that my head touched the light fitting, the house was built around 1860.
  14. You can buy a Moulinex but you need a special permit to buy a professional like a Kenwood.
  15. Beech/Birch hybrid variety. There should be lots of interest in this from Kew Gardens
  16. Supposed to say "for spares" I think.
  17. Two blokes were outside our house doing a repair on an electrical cable, not for me I might add just in the street. I was going outside and one of them said " Is there a cafe handy for a cuppa round here ?" and I was offering him directions when his mate said "No you're supposed to say I'll get the kettle on if you want a brew". I was so impressed I made them one.
  18. I took a similar size cherry down in my garden years ago and killed the stump then dug it out a couple of years later without too much trouble but it was a big hole.
  19. Two sugars though
  20. Would you be allowed to take it down if it had a rat's nest in it ? Grey squirrels are just fancy rats with better PR.
  21. They could check it just as easily by putting £1 into your account. I've bought fuel at Tesco when I had a good discount, paid with card and they never took any money to authenticate my account.
  22. Out of those we do use Whatsapp quite a lot. If you're in WiFi you can send free text or call on the iPhone to other Whatsapp users. [ame] [/ame]
  23. Glue a sheet of 240 wet and dry to a sheet of glass or some flat worktop, spray some WD on it and rub the blade flat on it. Turn it over and do the other side. The blade will get a bit thinner but it will get sharper.
  24. Nobody ever offered me money or food on the street, what am I doing wrong ? A woman in Tesco offered me some cheese on a little paper plate the other day but she was giving it to everyone so it didn't make me feel special I don't do facebook or twitter, never have done and I don't like the "competitions" where you have to "like us on facebook" to enter a draw to win whatever they are trying to flog you. She wasn't shouting nein, nein was she ? Are you sure you'd gone to the right address ?
  25. You buy some 5mm round bar and some 25x3mm flat strip and weld it up out of that.
