    Morning dweebs, chookta's and bampots.

    Having to get a shifty on 'cos I have to catch friendly mechanic bloke before more work is chucked at him. He says 'the day always starts well and then I get all this sh*t chucked at me'.

    It's a beautiful autumnal morning.

    Opened the curtains to rain this morning. No pedalling as I’ve just cleaned the bike.

    No1 son upset this morning with his choice of high school totally out of the blue and upset with me for not immediately wanting to change to another.

    “Mum would have listened and tried for me.” 😔

    No1 son getting some peer pressures applied SC?

    Dry start, some blue and some light clouds plus bands of mist loitering across the valleys. Today will be more garage fettling, see if I can get all the basic wiring done, still need to get hold of a CU and light fittings.

    Aftereffects of that gym sesh yesterday still hurting, see what happens if you take a month off.

    Find a Screwfix near you. There's one this end. Amazing stock/prices. If you pop in, i'll show you where the kettle is. :smile:

    Must be difficult for No1 son to throw that at you.

    Smidge hungover myself after a some tremendous bottles at dinner last night, including a L-P Grand Siecle (old university chum going to be a father for the 1st time at age 49... :#:) ), and a 1989 Huet Cuvee Constance which was magical.

    Busy digesting the Mini budget, may celebrate tonight by turning the central heating on :) Otherwise work busy with lots of people panicking about stuff that doesn't need panicking about.

    ach something I set up, been grafting on, running with, putting loads of out of work time effort in dealing with so much politicalcrap for 7 years then you hand it over to two people who reckon they know more and within 3 months the whole shebang has failed.

    its just when you look back on something and wonder "why did I bother?"

    This morning I sorted out all the dirty dishes in the office because the cleaner didn't show up and nobody else CBA. Then I realised why am I doing this, they treat us like poo here? Too late though.

    Beautiful day here but overslept due to little sleep because of mutt next door so no ridey ridey today.

    I think its an old fashioned thing cslled "givingashit" which unfortunately seems to be out of fashion.

    I/we must remember to follow these new trends in order to keep up with the new age.

    Yeah I have noticed....

    Although to be fair 2 of the kids in the office did clear up the almighty messes they somehow made in the kitchen this week (and they were spectacular) so maybe there is still hope.

    Came home last night to find wife guarding the garage with the door jammed mainly open but at a very unusual angle. One of the cables has snapped. Brute force* / fence post / combined bodyweight of two people managed to get it to close and lock so it's at least secure. Repair kit ordered off 'tinternet. Spent much of the morning watching videos of people fixing garage doors (frequently with the back of a head in front of the camera at a vital moment) but I think I've seen enough. I may regret saying this publicly but it looks pretty simple....**

    *I came off second best and twisted my knee, so I'm probably not going to be tempted to wrestle a bike out of the back door of the garage, through the garden then back through the house...

    **If I'm back typing with one finger instead of two you'll know it didn't go to plan and I've amputated something with that effing big spring across the top of the door...

    Screwfix or Toolstation for your electricial stuff. same patrent company i beleive. Just fitted a contactum split CU for my lardy brother and was surprised at the price and quality. Dont bother with chint, not as good and from you guessed it china.

    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.
  • orraloonorraloon Posts: 12,318
    Cheers pinno and oxo. There's a Screwfix in Dumfries, not far away even if they don't offer a cuppa. Btw Screwfix is part of Kingfisher, the B&Q etc lot, and Toolstation is part of Travis Perkins group.

    Got diverted into assessing practicalities of demolishing the very stupidly placed, entrance blocking outside cludgie structure, looks like it will be a straightforward take down, no load bearing on the walls. I think.

    But did get all the internal double socket boxes mounted in garage plus got the ducting through the wall for the outside socket box.

    Screwfix shopping basket continues to grow. Added an MK Sentry garage CU, has all the bits for breaker, ring main, lights and seems ok price. Plan is to do all the basics then get pro qualified sparky in to wire it all up to live, test and sign off.

    Now then, ready for a cold beer, a hot bath and a chill time.
  • oxomanoxoman Posts: 11,733
    Here's a before and after.

    Cheers for putting the screwfix / Toolstation thing out. MK are a quality make.

    Evening folks,
    Busy day in the orifice with a slightly moist wobble in, dry coming home at least. No pub tonight as EPO feeling under the weather and saving herself for a heavy day tomorrow.
    Careful with garage doors Munsford, mine nearly took my head off. Type with springs either side, the arm came away from the door and was stuck against the frame. Door opened, but one side was unsupported. I bent over to have a look and the arm came free smacking me on the head as it went. Lots of blood everywhere as it burst a small artery. If you want to be seen quickly in A&E on a busy Friday night walking in with blood running off your head, down the arm holding your brains in and dropping off your elbow is quite effective. Got side opening doors now.

    I did this using ropes to pull the springs into position. Much easier than wrestling with them. Just a simple loop and reef knot. Make sure the other end is secure and doesn't ping off in the process.
