Today I acquired...........

[indy4x]

My Ryobi recip saw broke today and I'm guessing everyone's 1st thought is that Ryobi are rubbish

Sorry to disappointed, its about 12 years old and while it's not used regularly it has had lots of use including cutting up the body and chassis of 2x Fronteras and a Disco, house renovation and extension, garage build etc and it has always delivered

It still works, it's just the release mechanism for the blade has ceased to function so needing a replacement quickly I bought another

Local B&Q had them in stock and reasonable price, I did look at getting a Bosch 18V jobbie but at 3 times the price I'll stick with Ryobi for this and use my badaptor to run it off my Bosch batteries

Well if it's done 12 years, is it worth fixing ?

I hate binning stuff.

Love trying* to fix things.

Depends what you're after.

Now you're worrying me.

local farmer put in for planning, got knocked back, the newly moved in's didnt want another brand new house next to their brand new house. So he rents the field to a bloke in Bradford who stuck a load of goats in the field. The area has a perfume now, shall we say

The billy goats party trick is to pee on its own head, apparently the girls find it attractive, not sure what videos they have been watching!

The B team have turned up to help in the next paddock, bit of a mixed lot here but they will all eat!

The way to fix neighbours like that……build a 150 ft cattle shed

It's surprising how heavy plasterboard is, I loaded 8 sheets on the roof rack of the Surf and thought it flexed a bit to much until I realised that was nearly 1/4 of a ton up there!

It sure is, I got 80 sheets of 12.5mm x 3m delivered (by a friend) and had to unload it and carry it into the house half of which had to go upstairs.

We got a load of the pink stuff years ago on a road drop...they were 3m sheets as we have high ceilings. After attempting to lift 1 sheet on my own I decided it was a 2 man job!

They must add lead for the fire rating!

Fireline (pink) is 15mm thick and 42kg a sheet.

Yea it's solid stuff...I lined our walls with it...12 years later there's zero cracks and putting up pictures and wall hung cupboards is a breeze.

Only worth doing in a house if you're staying though...lot more cost plus effort.
