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

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

This is what emptied my wallet.
Some from a car boot and some from a Shop in Salisbury. Plus some, from a friend.

Nice.
Can be used instead of milk in cakes.

£0.50p a bottle.

Looks good, but seized.

Complete but has been abused. The Gears are not meshing.

One table had this box.

Another had this.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I had my Lil Human friend and her Mum with me today.

So.............

Lamp oil instead of milk?!!!

Just bought this Fein ASKE 636 kinetic drill for cheap








it has the 2 speeds transmission which is unusual or at least rare for this model, that's the father of BOP 10 drill , still used,still needs a new chuck but it's a good addition to my tools . I already have a brand new Metabo, which I've actually never used yet ,both because I generally use corded drills for wire brushing stuff and I'm not going to ruin a brand new drill doing that , and also because I find more convinient using a cordless drill for drilling using small drills .
PS it's most likely a compulsory buying problem but it's not just this one I'm going to buy other 2 .
I don't really need them,just want them .

£0.50p a bottle.

Good score on the Coleman fuel. Here in the UK, cheapest I've found is about £10.oo a litre.

 

[dobbslc]

And?

It might explain a few things...

Like Norbert's illness you mean?

Locally it is £8 a bottle.

A little birthday treat to myself

FFX on eBay had a sale and an extra 15% off so couldnt resist. Ordered Friday night, delivered this morning

 

[Memmeddu]

That's the shed .
Just came back home.
Went there to see it .
It's not as expected .
They said 3x6 meters well it's not..
2.5x5 meters .
I've talked to them saying it was too much , and they proposed 350 euros.
It has a broken door ,the entire roof is rusted on the outside not inside .
Few rust spots here and there.
I'm not an expert about so what would you do?

 

[Memmeddu]

I've bought 6 pieces of 40x80x3mm box tubing for 60 Euros , from the same guy

 

[500e]

Leave it, or they come down in price a serious amount, not 10 Euros
How rusty, new base, new door, remove to new location.
Roof and top of sides look well rusty, roof also looks bowed with ridge damage
How is it held down timber ring beam on floor or sunk into concrete

 

[JOEPRO]

Leave it

+1

He should be paying you to remove it, not expecting to sell it to you.

 

[Pete.]

so what would you do?

Tell him to poke it where the sun don't shine rusty end first.

I had to reread it...at first I thought you were the one getting paid for taking it!

By the time you've taken it down, fixed all the issues etc it would be easier to either buy a new one or to just make one yourself.

I don't know , maybe a half decent starting point all depends what Mem want's to put into it / How he values his time . I don't think you'd get much for 350 euro's (where he lives ) to build something that size , Now if he could a fair chunk off might be a different proposition .

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

I guess maybe where he is it's a bargain?...here in the UK it most certainly ain't...I'd feel like I was paying to take away rubbish!

If it was bigger (say 5mx6m ) then maybe worth spending the time to fix it up I?...you're right that everything can be fixed it's just down to time and materials.
