What "man jobs" have you done today?

[Richie]

It was in the old utility room when we moved it in and we're all for getting rid when we got round to that room (whole house has been extended and hacked about)

Once the Mrs started using it she wanted to keep it

They work well. We had it above an open fire and you could sometimes see the "steam" coming off the clothes as they dried (I put steam in "" for the forum pedants as, technically its not steam )

Is steam classed as a particular temperature? Its still water vapour coming off /grenade thrown .

Well the temperature all depends on the pressure as well - catches grenade and lobs it back

Isn't steam invisible, we just see the water droplets condensing?

I always thought it was fog tbh

Exactly. The easiest way to "see" it is to boil your kettle and look at the spout closely... You'll notice that the visible condensate doesn't start immediately at the spout but is actually a little bit away from the spout. The steam is invisible and then condenses against the colder air as it leaves the spout. The visible part starts a few mm from the actual spout itself.

Although both rated for outside use I am considering a canopy above it, or a loose fitting kayak bag, although where it is doesn't suffer from the weather as such.

Hopefully

Got pretty decent security and high fencing around my property and will be fixing a wall anchor this weekend, which I already use at the other place I store it.

To add: It is also quite high off the ground.

Girls were not allowed into our club and I was going to mention my mate with one leg, but guess someone would be along soon to inform us that they......

My brother got shot in the eye - it didn't do any damage but the pellet was lost until 10 years later when he had a giant pea appear when he raised his eyebrows. Nuts how lucky he was!
