Why is there no serpentine belt around the alternator?

Well if it has been flashing all night then yes it is likely the alarm has been triggered. But if there was no sound at all it is also likely that the security settings are to sound the alarm sounder but maybe that has been disconnected? It is generally along these lines: Alarm System...

Morning All. :D Sunny & not raining, but pretty cool ATM. :) Poor night's sleep. :( Have a great day. :D

... lawn has been mown. A sack of pallet-wood has been chopped up into easy to use kindling sized pieces for the wood-burner. The Rib-eye steak has been salted for later cooking on the barbecue. Herself wants me to make a decking addition alongside the existing patio c. 12' deep and 15' wide...

Yes, I said it was Lusty of London "Lloy Loom", but as an ignoramus I did not know then what "Lloyd Loom" actually was. :)

Morning All. :D Still 'ere. :) There is a local classic car meet over on Canvey. But TBH I CBA. :( Steak (Rib-Eye) for dinner tonight so I hope the rain stays away as I will be on BBQ duty. :) Have a great day. :D

Morning All. :D Another decent day (ATM). :) Upon further research the chair is not wicker but "Lloyd Loom" and is probably 1930's in origin. I wondered how the strands were so fine and so uniform. Now I know. :) Ran out of the spray acrylic, have ordered more. No specific plans for today...

Yes, separate black piping was ordered for it. :D

...that the transformation of that old chair has begun. :) First coat of black satin finish acrylic. Needs more, but it is a start. She likes it and that's all that matters. :D

Morning All. :D Although today is MY "lie-in" day I am up and about because I cannot lie there any more. :( AND, now my other foot is showing signs of gout (painful to walk on). :( Not raining so I shall hobble round for a paper. :) Have a good day! :D

It is her choice. I suppose one might say that once they go black they never go back. :(

well..... someone has to. ;)

Now I've done it. 😟 Herself has rescued a 1930's ladies dressing chair from her mothers. It is a nicely made Loyyds Loom of London osier/wicker and bent wood framed affair with a proper wood/steel sprung framed seat. "WE" have decided to update it from its original pastel pink (then overpainted...

Morning All. :D Another fine day here. :) Didn't do any welding y'day, struggled to sink the counterbores in the shaft for the plug-welds. :( May try today. :) Have a great day! :D

Morning All. :D Not raining (yet). Bins out, paper fetched. :) Up to the old gals later to take trickery readings. Some welding beckons. Have a good day. :D

RIP Ozzy.

Morning All. :D A bright Sunny day here. :) A shopping day. :( Have a great day. :D

Us too. But, the fixing of internal shutters was too onerous and would end up with 2 big bulky lumps on either side of the bay window. Instead I had CNC cut plywood inserts made to fit inside the window panels. They are papered plain on the outside and with the wall covering tarty chinoiserie...

@Hippo the word ratted has no swearing or connotation other than to an adult. Why the angry face? I specifically did not use the other term because I felt it would fall foul of this rule. If it keeps on like this I may take my custom elsewhere ;)

Excellent pint! I have been ratted on that far too many times. Another one is "Ringwoods Old Thumper" OMG..... it really does make your head "THUMP" the next day. :D
