Hippo's latest activity

Last fing eye tried. Not sure if eye used it properly. Will have annuva go then going to try milton.

You tried bicarbonate of soda. I use it. I’ve got old 58 pattern water bottles, been using em for 35 years. Bit worried about the old plastic having a dodgy Chemical in it.

That looks like a chafer beetle. They lay loads of eggs in grass and the grubs destroy the roots, ruins lawns. Took me a few years to get rid of them here and get the grass back into condition.

Had to evict this fellow earlier, he kept banging his head on the window. J

They will just complain to mum that Grandad make them work, and didn’t pay a fair wage :vb-weyes:. J

Can't the kids help ?

I'd try a water sterliser like Milton first, otherwise yer just adding smells ...

Sadly not the access to the back garden is the 3'6" path down the side of the house. I have stopped for the day and yes it is "hurty", anaesthetic Vodka is being applied.

My COB, as in before I start having a drink. ;) It didn't arrive till just after 2 and we (me-n-'er) have managed to load/barrow and stack just over 2/3 of it. She's gone off to the hospital to see her Mum, I have the G-kids to look after. Son's...

Jeez it’s wham today.

He ain't got one. Must be scrapping his Freelander :p

Do it in stages. Put it in the hall. Then move it again morra.

Thats gonna be hurty tomorrow :eek:. Can you not move the cars off the drive and get it placed somewhere that allows you more time. J

at 3 or 4k+ per ton that's well worth the effort

The lads are in the middle of removing lead ballast blocks from a scrap barge iirc they are mostly 10kg think there is about 3 tonnes out & theres still more. :oops:

Sorry but is that Close of your business, or someone else's? ;)

... darn it the wood delivery is late. I've got to get it off the drive and down to the woodstore before COB today and it hasn't even arrived yet. :(

Have to, it's famous 😀

Must admit, I'd keep the Moonshine toolbox!!! Only kidding!!

Struggling to chuck stuff away Shall I, Sharnt I, it might come in handy one day 😀

Getting rid of a tratter?

Front lawn done, just the back to do then I can start sorting some scrap out 🙂

Afternoon folks :). Cut the front grass this morning, nearly filled the little trailer with the cuttings, chucked that all out on the common after. It worked up a sweat and soaked my shirt. think I will leave the strimming of the edges till...

After all this time the plastic is breaking down and you can smell/taste petrochemicals perhaps? China or glass always here. :)

If thay is 20yrs old I would say thay are past the sell by date and you will soon be p------g plastic 😯😯

Mornin Looking lovely out there Must get out and mow the lawns before it gets too hot Stay cool all :)

They is plastic cups which hold 500ml. Got about 10 from sainsberrys near 20 years ago. Logical fing would be to change to glass. Me pipes were lead and water contamination were high enuff to taste. Running the tap cleared it but water standing...

Morning All. :D Supposed to be a scorcher today, but no signs of that yet. :) Our "free" day except for feeding sons cats, and getting HIS kids from the school. Have a good day. :D

I should hope you do.

Maybe go to ornery porcelain or china ones then. We take glasses of water to bed with us, just use a drink mat on top of the bedside cabinet to not damage the surface. But if we ever have drinks down by the pool we have a massive set of all...
