There's a builder uses quite a bit of that roughneck stuff. I keep telling him he should be buying dirtyneck stuff instead.

I've got one of their 3 foot Gorilla bars. It's night and day to the old design crowbars for pulling flooring up and nails out. It'll certainly outlive me. It paid for itself in the first day after me and a mate had to pull up a caber floor that had been nail gunned down due to the under floor heating being condemned. It took us a week to get it all up, it'd never even had a boiler connected to it :shock:

As it's a nice day outside, I got the overalls on. I was intending to do something to the Rialto, but noticing the compost bin wasn't very full, I got the ladder out instead.

Lots of crap growing from the tree next to the shed was cut, swept and deposited in said bin for collection on Friday morning.

Got a nice view from up here

I know that I should be ashamed for not knowing but what's the coppery coloured car Eddie? It looks Opelish to me.

So you fucking should be ashamed!

It's my GS X2, in jobbie broon metallic.

I shall arrange a suitable penance, probably read a load of Hooli Humour*.

It's not a bad steer despite it being WWD. It's an odd choice for me as I'm not really a Citroen driver sort.

That structural duct tape on the door needs renewing.
