Spoke to water board about using my hydrant but they wanted me to hire one off them And wanted £2150 per 1m3!!! Where as domestic it’s about £1 a m3!!

UU are the same, have to hire the standpipe off they're approved contractor, forget the name but it's painted light blue, NRV fitted and usual got a meter on. Also no keen on anyone having the 2" one.

Also need to complete the online calm network online course.

'Birthday' outing, a month late as I was busy last month, did a 14hr day of fencing and tree work instead😆
Thrapston Collective, trailer load of odds n sods to get rid of, including the 4 old gates I couldn't stand to see skipped 😆 I've only handled them once to load them and unload them so if they pay for a couple bacon rolls that will do 😆
Few bits I've got my eye on, some for the shed and some to try and sell on 👍
Some real junk here too, wouldn't be a sale otherwise...

Not a bad day out- weighing crate in need of a spruce up, £15, 48 hole pigeon holes £28 (complete with random bits), another little plough- think it's ferguson, sure I saw it stamped somewhere. Over doubled my money on the last one, and this one was 50 quid less at £75 plus vat 👍
Also got a pallet (36) of heat treated 3.5x3.5 8ft timbers. £6 each, including a ratchet strap and a wooden frame 😆 Most of them are earmarked for a compost bin for a customer so an easy profit there 🤞

Selling was pretty much a washout-literally! Absolutely dumped it down 5 minutes before my stuff went through and as they were the last lots there were only about 6 people left 😞 I think the auctioneer did very well to get the £115 (after commison) I ended up with 👍😉

I used to use a 2 inch pump dropped in the hydrant and open it up til the pump could keep up with it. Didn’t take long to fill a bowser that way 😂

Isn’t the idea that you go home with less than you took? 😂

I know it’s a different size dumper, but sometimes my 1t sounds horrible when you jump off and leave it idling, can’t stop the engine cover vibrating. I guess videos help but nothing better than seeing a machine in person.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
Be interesting to see what that goes for! 4 hours??
" Hours: 4,046 / 83,834km. No damaged category assigned to this crane. the crane starts and drives however no formal inspection of the engine has taken place. It is understood that the fire was caused due to a tyre blowout on axle 4, drivers nearside. The blowout resulted in a chassis mounted hydraulic line being damaged. We consider it plausible that a mist of hydraulic fluid was released from the damaged line and the sparks from the wheel hub contacting the road caused the fluid to ignite which resulted in major damage. Fire damage predominately to the rear of the vehicle including chassis, boom etc. Front cab and top cab all salvageable. "

So why are the jacks extended ?? :unsure::unsure:
