Presumably you have another mate with a fire engine who also likes cake?

Sorry guys just having a moan. Weather here is crap, so all hope of me doing anything in my garage is nil. Typical, I get my garage back & the weather is against me. Ah well, can't expect more at this time of year.... snowman

Jim, isn't that why the Scots invented whisky? For those long, cold winters...?

Jim, you may be right about the whisky, ironically we really haven't a bad winter up here for some years. It's just pissin' down here, so water everywhere. I'm a whisky drinker but I've had to dramatically reduce the intake these days, mind you it's a good idea..... chinny

Have you considered Solar Power for the garage, if you have enough sunlight.

Found this from the USA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mdkhh7SWkE

Would be cheaper than connecting to "mains power".

Weather is hot at the moment here & I've had a chance to seal my garage floor. First of two coats applied, second going on at 5pm. Spent more time clearing out the accumulated bits & pieces that were put away all this time since it was built.... rolleyes

Five o'clock came & the first coat wasn't quite dry, so the weather/food & refreshments were all shouting at me. shout Second coat now done. Weather is lovely here at the moment.

Today I was up and down to my garage working on the Coop, council chappy on his own filling in pot holes. Now you don’t get if you don’t ask… smile I have a car space piece of land next to my garage, but it’s just earth, I’ve been meaning to concrete or slab the first metre as this bit is sinking and my cars are scraping on the semi ditch that’s forming. Asked the council chap if he would have any tar left, explained my situation, no problem and no cost, I did insist but he insisted better..Happy days, I have practically the beginnings of a driveway next to my garage. driving

Quite a long time ago I came home from work to find a huge stack of large paving slabs in the front garden.

It turned out that the council was replacing the stone paving footpath outside with tarmac.

Our drive needed doing soon so, unbeknown to me, she had asked the site foreman what they were doing with the old slabs, and was told they would be crushed for hardcore.

Don't ask, don't get, but they crippled me laying them: 2 feet square or 3 feet x 2 feet and 3 inches thick.


16VT and X1/9 1500

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Not saying he was a strong chap - but he was a deep coal miner in the sixties. One of my childhood memories of my grandfather was him carrying two of those great york stone paving slabs in one hand, and a damn great sledgehammer in the other. Fair old grip he had.
