Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

Bought lots of timber to make a gate and fence. Also bought a lock which can work both sides, and a skip..ignore the brickwork and electrics I need to tidy up..
About half of the timber here (what's left after making the below fence )
First time ever making a gate and hanging a door, but the result is pretty good!
Need to do the same around the back of house also.

Good job! I bet that is really heavy.
I think all palm springs hydrojet models have the salt function and the salt goes into the main pool after filling, all 2Kg of it!
Has to be pure 99.9% pure salt!
It was! Not afraid to say I asked the Mrs to help

Is that a gatemate long throw lock? Had mine a couple of years, silicone spray lubricant works really well to keep the mechanism nice and smooth.
It is! Just slightly short in barrel lengthbut works for me. Very easy to fit.
Does wd40 work also?

WD40 isn't a proper lubricant, so a dedicated lubricant is a wise choice.

Yeah avoid using wd40 as a lubricant, despite being a fix all for lots of people it can actually make certain things worse in the long run if used incorrectly.
Looks like a very good job! Even braced correctly and everything.

No your model doesn't look like it has the salt chlorinator. I got the hydrojet one last year and I have an extra button between the water filter activation and power timer buttons.

Picked up my new A5 Sportback on Tuesday, really happy with it. 
- S-Line 2.0 TFSI with S-Tronic
- Tech pack with virtual cockpit
- Flat bottomed steering wheel
- LED interior lighting pack
Those look great, isn't the flat-bottomed steering wheel a standard Audi thing by now though? Even my SEAT has one.
Genuinely surprised you can get those with the 1.4 TSI engine too, looks like you made the right choice with the 2.0.

It’s actually a cost option the flat bottomed steering wheel, at £100, which I found really surprising.
What does a flat bottom do?

more room for your knees?
Oh yeah how silly of me, I don't know where I'd put my knees in a car with a round steering wheel.
I imagine it's actually got more to do with aesthetics. You'd probably be laughed out of the third lane of a quiet motorway by all the other finance white/rep cars if they looked through your window and saw a normal steering wheel.
Makes steering with your knees as you shave and eat bacon MUCH harder.....I believe.

In my defence, I couldn’t spec this car, that’s just how it came. I’m guessing someone else spec’d the car then cancelled their order, or it was ordered in for group stock or something. All I was really bothered about was getting an A5 Sportback in the S-Line trim with the 2.0 TFSI engine, S-tronic and the tech pack.
