When we built my brothers shed we put it on treated 4x4 fence posts on top of concrete base - Keep it away from concrete and put gutters on it to stop splash back. Also if it's a bit flimsy buy some roof lathes and cut to size and screw them to existing uprights and put a few cross pieces in to...

I thought it was only Ronnie who has half of my sirloin steak-Salmon and single cream and butter -Only when we are getting pills down him though. He is probably the same age and a fussy little bugger. Every time we finish our evening meal and washed up and cleared up I get my shot glass out for...

The good thing about two sticking together is you can eat two at once -But only if they are soft and squidgy. Those I had today were dry and hard.

I have found that, as it's well into spring the butter has sofened a bit and can spread it on soft brown bread. I have stopped having white bread toast as all versions of white bread now to me, taste like wet cardboard. This week when shopping I put a malt loaf in basket as I haven't had one...

Yep - Just had a bit of hail - there is a cold wind out and heating has just kicked in -Not been on for a while.

A wine bottle with one of those rubber plugs with spout on. If it's a small bottle use empty washing up liquid bottle. I am now going out to do a Heath Robinson job - Ordered a gutter stop end - I need the one with clips on so looks like a job fpr the mastic gun.:rolleyes:

Thank goodness for backup codes - I have spent all morning trying to log on but no go - It was only because I started to look at more things on page that I saw backup code so tried one and I am back in -I am OK with plug & play but trying to works that out was nearly over my head. :D

I had one of these but in Ivory - When moved from last house I sold it for about 40 quid. The bloke who bought it knew a BT engineer and had it alterd so he could use it.

Next time it's dark outside get your better half to go into bathroom -put light on then sit on the loo - You can be standing outside away from window and check for a shadow of your controlling officer. We had wonderfull views of a couple the other side of garden going for a one or two - He in...

I measured my sitting distance from monitor to my eyes as I sit here. 1m-200mm - I went to optician with a tape measure and had a pair set up to that measurement. You could also as said above go buy some cheap ones -take a tape measure and do some tests -I have some cheepies for reading but they...

My water bill for this year is £605 - Next door on a meter paid £300 for the last year and she said she doesn't skimp on baths etc. We only have a shower. So they are here on Thursday to fit a meter - I can cancel and go back to yearly paying within the first 12 months. I have installed another...

We got reasonably good news at vet this afternoon. It seems the antibiotics are working but it's taking longer than vet thought - She now thinks for some reason the problem is in cartlidge by his ear and that is almost like bones (that's what she said) -Anyway he is on 10 days of antibiotics and...

Well that was a dead squib. Ronnie was wailing to go out so we let him out -He has been in since mid afternoon Sunday and only goes to toilet outside. By launch time he hadn't appeared then neighbour came back home so asked them to look for him and of course he was sitting by their back door...

Sitting here hoping Ronnie doesn't wake up and want to go out - He is due at Vets at 11.00 and if we let him out we won't get him by 10.15 the time we have to go. Wife missed opportunity when he jumped on window sill at 6.30 so she opened window but he didn't want to go out in wind and rain - I...

I started work at 15 and retired at 55 - been retired 25 yrs so got to stay alive for another 15 to get my money back I did have one week on the dole :)

Only Kidding. I wish it was. Just had a letter from pensions saying that now I am 80 I am entitled to an extra 25p a week. When I was 18 that would buy a pack of three. Now i would be ashamed to put it in a charity box. What a waste of resources.

Good day today - got rid of a load of wifes junk from out the garden to the Tip - Mostly plant pot's -troughs and bags of wet weeds and stuff - she never covers anything.

I have one of those car wash clean water filters and tester came with a water tester. So I tested the tap water at 297 dirty bits Then tested old Matra+ that has been in ages at 229 DB Then tested the new filter put in today and it was 227 DB So it looks like you can keep them in for longer...

Keep old tools as there will come a time in your life you find you have nothing to do so you can get these old tools out and restore them. You might not think so but you will. Yes life does get boring when you get past the do it now jobs.. Another thing is in years to come and you look at what...

Very similar - It's black handle and red ends - the red bit by shaft spins as does the bit holder at rear - It also has lines of dots down handle but it isn't a ratchet. It has been a very good srewdriver though.
