I remember loading bales aged 12, one of the girls fellas came to ‘help’ big gym lad kissing his arms as he walked into the field, he didn’t last past lunch… fecking useless! Literally ruined him!
So what is it the Santa bringing that you have bought and paid for/to yourself ? 🤪

Kinda like hardox Vs mild steel. No need for the bulk. My party trick at school was always my ability to beat the big lads at arm wrestles.I thank growing up on a hill farm with nothing but a pile of granite and sheep to play with
That last bit sounds wrong.

All sorts mate. Dens, wallls, hideouts using them to smash things from a great height etc. damning steams. Eventually made an excavator using an old push bike with the front wheel removed- extremely effectivewhat kind of games did you play with the granite ?
but tunnels through hay stacks out of bales was probably the favourite.

Father Christmas arrived yesterday. Thanks @Laser Levels Online . Just been annoying the wife by checking the house. My lounge floor is 11mm out in places 
.
Will take it out in the real world next weekend to self teach setting 90s and setting XY grade. Doesn’t look as easy to set 90s as I thought. Trying to wrap my brain around that process. Think it will be easier to just use 345 or the big folding square to eye trenches in, then use 90 function ok the level once the footings are in.

I used mine for 1st time at 90 6 months ago . It is fiddly tbf could do with a wall hanging bracket type of thing that you can fine adjust. It is good for long distance but time consumingFather Christmas arrived yesterday. Thanks @Laser Levels Online . Just been annoying the wife by checking the house.

Had to set out swimming pool perfectly square within garden design today using laser and two receivers, very fiddly but should be more accurate than 345 and stretchy tapes, not made any easier by the sound of chainsaws, hedge cutters and a chipper working next door when trying to hear the receiversFather Christmas arrived yesterday.
