Sorry was a boring day in the office

was in paint

Can you change his name to Corbyn until at least the 12th of december @Regy53 these things must happen.

Also change Ollie Kitchen's name to Crushy, because it's currently more relevant than komatsu Infact I'd hazard a guess Corbyns attachment collection is getting more use than Ollies at present

well the ****ing builders ain't ..... has pissed down here for days .... didn't turn up at all this morning .... they should have heeded the forecast ... not been a bad day since 11-ish ..... managed to get a little bit done for me, after I delivered Clara to nursery .. for the day

thought i'd have a crack at getting the pins out o' the SEC .....

hard fought, this bugger was, even after a bit of a clean off ..... but got the lil' sod eventually ....

T'other one was a POP .... aside from being 'kin heavy ... would not want one of these on yer foot toe caps or not ... had to start with the right lil' b'stard ... but at least the easy one was a pleasant surprise

.... as suspected ... not through bosses .. face fixed and plates bored at pin sizes .....

got them all cleaned out and polished up a bit, before giving 'em a good coat o' grease, ... as the bloody rain kicked off again .... and the day light disappeared

regrettably these are at 18" ctrs ..... 'Drema's Miller is 400s, so can't just either, bush it down, or get the pins reduced in the middle 280mm ... but as said before, I have a few ideas ... just deciding on the easiest / most convenient / least effort way to get there .... the one quandry I really have is whether to adapt, so's it'll revert to original or simply alter it permanently ??? 'sahelluva weapon though .... build quality is real nice

Pins cleaned up well on the bench .. even the grease ports took lube and ejected what was in there ... went round this with the gun while it was in me mitts and all took very little TBF ... I'd be surprised if this has ever done any work .... now all I need is some dryness ...... absoluuuutely lashing it down here again ... bouncing off the Veluxes upstairs ... can hear it down here -- above Pam's TV volume

'sahelluva weapon though .... build quality is real nice

Not as big or cheap as mine though Albert

Boris on an actual site laying brick doing the job and Corbin still in training waiting for his time

granted ... but ..... not as dear as this one either at £2250 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEC-Digg...776235?hash=item2ada1a31eb:g:79cAAOSwLlVana0b

and'll be a POP to pick up under the Miller, once I've sorted it ....... plus it's full hydraulic grip and about the right size for me 15 tonner ... that beast of yours is under a 22 tonner and's gonna take you an hour or two to mount whenever you need it

aaaaaaand it's not my nuts at risk, next time you're up ....... for connecting me an' Roy ... she's gonna lop 'em off mate

.... but thanks again, for mythering me that I needed to acquire it

love his BLUE hi viz ...... and them pissy lil' hands'd struggle with 1200, 9" hollows aside from mixing and laying all the 36" wide founds .... tha's not a wall ...... this is a wall



As fast as I could get it up SWMBO had me back filling it so she could get on with creating her flowery bits

 

[Cyberprog]

Is that the neighbour's wall or one of yours?

that's mine Alex .... down the side of the drive


never laid a 9" hollow before .... got reasonable at it after 1200 of the buggers .... concrete filled ... mostly - still got some left to fill on the outer skin ....(when i feel like mixing it all )
it's also the one that needs stone facing - 80 m2 ... if the ****ing guy ever turns up

Looks good - I did wonder given the massive overkill on the drainage, had your fingerprints all over it... how goes the bit with the neighbour?

Slow mate ..... has pissed down here solidly for several days ....only decent-ish day, yesterday and didn't turn up .... they'm about half way up on the corners ...

... as for drainage ... it's needed, believe me ... the previous retainer fell down due to lack of it -- before our time thankfully - just

............. I have a few ideas ... just deciding on the easiest / most convenient / least effort way to get there .... the one quandry I really have is whether to adapt, so's it'll revert to original or simply alter it permanently ??? '

OK . decision made .... this came up last night in me ebay saved searches ......

much quicker than machining out a 70mm with a boring head ..... might have to give this a touch ..see once I've made a hole with it ... might be here in the morning ..hopefully .. 1st class tracked ..... but I'll be surprised if it is

 

[V8Druid]

been 'shopping' this afternoon to me mate's with the lil' fab shop, down the road .... .. he didn't quite have enough of what I wanted, in stock .... but I do have some that will make up the shortfall, already

let's hope it's dry tomorrow .. (bloody lashing down again ATM ) ... no Clara (had to cut my chat short with me mate, to rush back to collect her from nursery) ... and Pam is out at her dance class in the morning, so might just get something done ... especially if that 80mm broach turns up ..... but got a bit to do otherwise

Hell, you’ve been busy there Gra! Looks tidy.

cheers Chris .... thought you'd have seen a lot of those before .. elsewhere ... kept me sane for quite a while after my 'original diagnosis' in 2010, before they decided what was really wrong ... and treatable

 

[V8Druid]

Question ..... for anyone who may be able to answer...
No BB this morning ... all red lights on .. reboot-nada ..... so do the usual and change my ADSL filter .... instant 'net

We get through an ADSL filter every three months, max. ... less some times ..... line just eats them .. I buy 'em in bulk
'net gets slow(er than usual) for a few days prior, then just vanishes.

anyone have any ideas/knowledge, as to why ????
