Afternoon Lovely day Just sold my triple extender aluminium ladders, gone in 60 secs so obs too cheap at 70 quid 🤔 Egyptian guy just came to look at Volvo, don't think he had a licence but hey test drive went well :D Off for shower and my tea...

We now have 5 pink flowers. Different sizes as they started opening at different times. Me loopins av growed back anorl. Hopefully will gerra good display this year.

Morning all im off to town to get some roof capping, coffee first tho. Mighty cold wind from the east dry though looks as if the sun has its hat on. Noo gazebo is up so lets get the party started. :banana::banana:

Well spotted - the cases are empty, but there are 3 berettas in the safe 😉 Oh, and a Remington pump. And a semi auto. 😱 And a couple of others…

Mornin Lovely sunny start Bathroom fitters coming back to finish on Monday, one bodge after another, stinks of sealant. :( Tidy up today, finish friends gutters and maybe some painting . Have a great weekend all Stay relaxed :)

I had a pleasant trundle over from Leicester to my place in Wales yesterday afternoon, as it was nice and sunny I was able to do some proper Land Rover driving with my window down and my elbow on the window sill. Consequently, when I saw Land...

Morning All. :D The passive-aggressive stuff continues. Wifey gets asked on the whatsapp grp "who's putting Nan to bed tonight?" This is something entirely new, and my wife was at her mothers or doing her shopping/cleaning her mother's house...

Debbie has opened up one of her flowers. Tis her first. Spottid yesdi. Just looked. Second one is half opened. Gorrabowt 8 more possible flowers from buds. Lovely pink colour. Eye is wonering if eye can take a cutting to make another. Edgar's...

Thats a bit steep. Assume yer open to offers?

Sat int kitchen having me brekfust waiting to see if me squirrel appears. Gorra homemade mince pot out for later. Foring out on my window sill.

Mornin Sunshine again Bathroom fitter here early, floor dug up yesterday and re-laid, radiator going in as we speak. Volvo on ebay .99p fingers crossed, got full service history up till last summer. Didn't sleep well, chest full of dust from...

Morning All. :D Wifey up to her Mums again this morning. :) 2 scam calls in the past 5 minutes, arecord. :( Have a lovely day. :D

I wouldn't know , but on brass one's the pin is mild steel for strength I suppose?

Got stainless so hoping the centre pin is as well

The trouble with the piano hinges you get these days is the centre pin ,thay rust out fast

Errrr ... rivets :oops:

Have you got some nice fancy nuts and bolts or screws to hold the piano hinges with? ;)

Bathroom men turned up, dug the newly laid floor up and are now levelling it up ready for another new floor Not plucked up the courage to cut my bonnet yet

I think the old trucks were hinged in three places because with just one the headlamps would obstruct opening the hood, problem is it's got to be at least one in the middle and jiggle opening it or go all the way with three. Vent is a problem...

Yikes, I can see exactly why the bonnet lump would be a problem. I have seen kit cars with a bonnet hinge on one side, but many also, like the one on my Marlin, which is a one piece you have to take off each time. Can you not hinge it at the...

Marked up for three piano hinges, only problem being the top vent on bonnet, there's a hole under it. Just plucking up the courage for the first cut 🤔

I'd replace leak off pipes anyway as they're cheap and easy, see if it persists

Mornin Suns a shinin, birds a tweetin, grass a growin, what's not to like ? 😊 Still no sign of bathroom fitter, man from council says fitter is ill 🤔:confused: Might cut ma bonnet and hinge it today Stay focused all :)

Nuts gone over nite. Not put any more out. Waiting to he if he climbs me fence so eye knows which squirrel it tis.

Morning All. :D A poor sleep due to a painful right knee (see: Crawling under cars in the street). :( Nice Sunny start here. :) Have a good day! :D

I have re-used a copper head gasket in the past, got wifey to iron it then torqued it down to 60 lbs feet Might be worth tightening the head down to 60 , they seldom warp being cast iron

They usually leak around the engine number area, I always used to put a but of gasket stuff on that area when assembling. Water may be running along from the thermostat housing though

Since installing a thermostat and the engine then running at the correct temperature I thought it was time to pull one of the previously cold/oily plugs (#2 & #3) and have a look. No longer oily, and a smooth pearly grey colour with hints of...

Extracted me lawn mower from the shed today, first time this year. Petrol smelled a bit off, but gave it an extra bit of priming and it fired up first pull of the chord. A grass cutting afternoon ahead ----

I’m considering a Matt black on mine…
