Routy56 - can you just....

[Routy56]

sorry forgot to answer this one ...
that's all the sweepings off that area with the countax's collector ......

View attachment 7459

massacre it with the Dane let it dry a day or so then sweep it/collect it ... looks great .....
I dump it there as it goes down on the lower bank under the hedge line ..... daren't back it right into the right spot .... I'd never get it back out ..... it's hairy enough keeping all the Countax's wheels in contact with the floor as it is

You be careful buddy-them there mowers can roll over easy
I use a nice blue Iseki GSX19 - I’ll do a photo shoot soon and start a mower envy post

aye that they can ..... 's like riding a racing sidecar outfit at times ... arse hanging in the breeze keeping a wheel on the deck

the mower thread'd probably be well subscribed I reckon .... have a bit of a 'stable' here for all the various terrains I have to cope with ... me Super Surfer's the best thing since sliced bread for the banks

Update on the oil tank base. Remember that this is for my neighbour opposite who is recovering from a hip replacement

Son in law Rod drafted in to help on this quick Sunday morning job before it gets really hot

Random shot of my 'new' Navara working for a living. @Shovelhands @Gunners anyone else got one
Still love it as a work and play thing

Inspection by 'Clerk of the Works'
The more observant will notice that we have travelled the edges and signed and dated it
Will pull the 4x2 out on Tuesday......

my BILs is on its way to Spain to get welded back together .... been waiting 3 months for them to collect it and is likely to wait another three minimum, apparently, 'fore he sees it again ..... they have eventually given him a courtesy truck ,after 3 months of having no truck and said it has to come back in the same condition ,.... it's gleaming ---- he's a builder .... he might as well park it up, or he'll be paying for it ..... his looked like it has spent its life in a war zone .... he is not the kindest of ppl to vehicles .... bit of an animal in fact

Old shape I guess? I thought Nissan were just buying them back?

he'd have been a lot happier if they had ..... '06 I think it is .... but as said he doesn't treat his vehicles well ... or much else come to that ... there are tools rotting and lying about everywhere at his place can't understand the guy ..... truck was mint when he had it .... I cringe whenever I have to get in it .... like a sh1t house in distress

You gotta love those above ground pools
Can tell that you have a digger
Like the roller cover and solar heaters
What filter do you use?

 

[Grahams]

Looks good. How do you find the solar heaters? Was considering some for our house.

Good to see that you are using yer workhorse
Do you do any towing with it on or off road

Loads! I’m really pleased with it, does everything comfortably. Drags 3.5 tonnes (plus?..) easily, goes like a scalded cat, is surprisingly good off road, somehow my phone even knows where I parked it?!....

Cool
Mine is the same and still gives me a grin factor after a days graft on joysticks and shovels
Was gonna change tyres for General Grabbers like my last 4 Discos...
...but the Continels are quiet on road and give reasonable traction when it gets sticky

Funny enough this came up in conversation the other night that they had stopped buying them back ,but sending them aboard to be fixed. Perhaps they cottoned on to the scam where people where buying a snapped one for peanuts, then contacting nissian and getting paid out strong money? A bloke in the next village was saying/bragging that he been doing it.

We are on at Intex sand filter with a salt water pool and chlorinater.
The first attempt at heating was with just the tubes, not enough sunshine or not enough panels......so as panels where easier to obtain I added the flat panels at the bottom. Still probably undersized for the pool but we have now got the pool up to 25plus. We have a rule with the little mermaid that it has to be 20plus before I will get I (at 20 that is in a wet suit jacket)

Yes sand filters are the way to go. Salt water sounds interesting
Just after we installed the old pool about 28 years ago, I stuck an agricultural poly tunnel over it.
Old patio doors each end does the job. Best thing we ever did
Pool today is about 26c with just sunshine. On really sunny weeks it gets up to about 33c
Our daughters are now 40 and 38 yrs and lived all summer holiday in the pool.....
.....history is now repeating itself with our grandchildren

I haven’t yet told the wife about the industrial size poly tunnel I have acquired!! It was a job to find a level spot for the pool. Not sure yet how I am going to cover it with one side being in the ground and the other well into it!!

I'm not the greatest of water lovers ... it's gotta be 30C 'fore I'll consider getting in it .... I don't swim ... can almost, but I don't float very well and having nearly drowned as a small kid have a serious lack of confidence in the water without a 'noodle' or two ... would love to be able to swim and be confident in the old agua ....
