  1. Morning all, Another lovely blue sky day here. Day off, going to meet up with some friends from university days. No doubt discuss all our health and joint problems like old gits do.
  2. Morning all, Lovely here just now but heavy rain due within the hour. Quick dead conifer fell it is then.
  3. Morning all, Lovely blue sky day again here. Trimming/shaving a couple of very tall conifer bushes today with the mewp
  4. Morning all, Nice dry day here. Tidying up and collecting timber from last week's job.
  5. Morning all, Back to default setting of rain. Logging in barn and plumbing fix in the house for me.
  6. Morning all, Lovely blue sky here. Blitz time at home today - spot spraying docks, pressure washing patio and paths etc. Then mow the lawns.
  7. I am too lazy to change at present from my opener of audio.
  8. Morning all, Raining here. Had four good days this week and got some good jobs done; I don't work Fridays any more, so crossword here I come.
  9. In recent years when I have purchased new trailers (IW and Bateson) I pay the extra for ally plate on top of the phenolic plywood. If you intend to keep the trailer for years. and it will have heavy timber chucked in, this eventually damages the plywood so that water can get into it. That said it will still last years. I bought a second hand Meredith and Eyre 16ft triaxle. Good build quality. This just has the phenolic plywood florr, but as it is it really good nick I have some cheap OSB boards that I can put over the floor if it is at risk of damage from loading rough stuff.
  10. I reckon that pic is in keeping with it having ADB
  11. Morning all, Lovely blue sky here with a frost. My face caught the sun quite a bit yesterday, so out with the factor 50 today.
  12. Time for a dip in the sea before work?
  13. Morning all, Lovely blue sky here, forecast good. It said that yesterday but we had an almighty hailstorm, but fortunately only when we were packing up.
  14. I bought a new one in 2015, one of the first of the new shape, 145BHP. Very happy with it and if I had to replace it would have the same again, or a heavier duty one. C section chassis means none of the condensation induced rust you gets with transits etc. Some people say IVECO = It vibrates and everything comes off. While this may be true for some minor trim items it does not apply to the mechanics. Just got back from a week's holiday in southern Italy and there are loads of 25+ year old ones on the roads. The Grafter may boast a good turning circle but the Daily is pretty good on that score, and much better than my previous LDV Convoy (please don't laugh, it was a reliable plodder). Needless to say helper springs are a must with a full chip box.
