Some lovely sun here this afternoon, belted down this morning.
3 of us spent 4 hours tidying and reorganising the shed, I'm sure it looked worse when we were done though 😆 🤣 🤣

probably be more reliable if they made it :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
got a job on there Boyo
Bit of a job yes but most importantly no pressure! I purposely bought something that fills no role in the fleet, if it takes me years it takes me years. (Bet it doesn't though, learnt a LOT over the years since I had my first land rover project!) 👍 😃

Got a few hours to myself today. Filled up the oil tank at home from my yard waste oil filtering plant, Got the big wacker ready to use, removed the stupid bars, cleaned and washed out the dirty fuel system and gave it a good steam clean inside and out. Amazingly it still started which is rare after I've been fiddling! Played with getting the petrol compressor set up to spray with the schutz gun (20% white spirit seemed to do trick.) Took big Wacker over to farm project and gave everything a couple of passes. It's one helluva tool :) Better than the 1200 roller I hired for putting down waste and 803 on surface. I will never be able to take any other compactor seriously now!
After that spent a couple hours trying to get a string through a 60mm duct under farm gateway to pull electric fence through. Had to dig back a bit to find a crushed point. Finally managed to blow a rubber glove on the end of a 6mm rope through. Serves me right for laying it in a rush with no proper backfill or a drawcord. Very glad to be away from home as the wife had 15 members of her family over for a walk and food. I like her family... but not keen on too many people at once..

It’s an interesting one, did you sleep in the wagon or tent etc? Would a 4g/5g camera work? I dont leave small kit but fairly sanguine about 5 ton + kit with coded keys and trackers etc seem less likely to go walk about.

Was watching this today didn’t think it was bad value (pic wont load currently, 2018 2k hour et65 made 22,500 in rb today)
Yard alarm keeps going off in the night, birds getting in maybe but it would be good to have a look on the phone instead of going down there at 3am....no wifi there but i have a sim card in the present alarm, anyone any exp of a camera/motion detector alarm that can rings your phone and then be viewed ?

Todays job :)
Any interest in this plasma cutter
Hardly used ..full air start - some consuables - by the look of it the invoice said £780 + vat
For the bit I do I tend to get the angle grounder out, hence hardly used.
Offers ?

is this an R-Tech plasma Kev?
looks like a Euroconnector for the torch?
assume it's a 240v machine
what 'breed' is the torch?
realistically £?? buys it

Got the first interest in for a change :giggle::giggle:
