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

[brewdexta]

I arrived home to a few nice bits

First a Milwaukee M18 fuel compact combi-drill, and while I was at it I bought the M12 Milwaukee dremel type thingy

Then j bought some new old stock 1/2" BSW handles. They need a bit of a tickle of the polishing mop.


Finally, I needed a long straight edge that was a bit better and longer than a 1m steel rule.

I won't unpack it until I have made a bit of a box for it to live in.

Nice Ebay bargain. M10 and M16 dies included.
So much better quality than the modern rubbish. Nice heft to them.

Arrived today, why I was sent them? I am waiting on a reply from North of the border.

They were attached to this.

Mrs Posty lady, with the nice legs was not amused.

Again all past sell by/use by date.
Paraffin, drain cleaner and caustic soda.
I paid for the black paint.

Customer returns, but damaged.

Yeah he knows what im like and messaged me as soon as he had the keys , its a shame lots of stuff went in the skip before I got there but he'd lose more money downtime trying to flog it all and he needs to get his business up and running there as soon as he can.

Im always skip diving at my other friends yards one mans scrap is another mans gold ! Sometimes its just lack of knowledge of what it is other times its just not worth the hassle selling it to haggling numptys

Your haggling numpty is a bargain-seeking cognoscente

Im one of those too if I understand you correctly but i usually get messed around on the odd item I sell on FB so times that by 100 ad its alot of wasted time thats why good stuff ends up in the ground or melted down

I once got a tip off from a friend who just finished installing a mezzanine in a factory they had just dumped 50 sheets of 18mm ply in a skip as they were factored into the job for the forklift to drive over , I had the lot for nothing and they were happy as could get more in the skip !

Some years back i had a phone call from a mate, "Do you want some Mahogany?" Turned out he was clearing out a Barclays bank in Leigh on sea. Too much stuff to go in the skip & it meant he would need 3 skips instead of 1. I shot up there in my Moggy truck & there was literally heaps of finest Honduras mahogany panelling & counter tops. It took me 4 trips to move it all with the truck loaded way beyond its capacity.
Much of it turned out to be flame figured timber of such quality it has been unobtainium since the 30's.
I still have a big lot of it to use in next few years.

Small trading estate near me; tyre shops, gearbox reconditioners, small independent garages, that sort of thing. I was passing it the other day, the landlord was having the roof done. They were loading 2.4mtr, 'Big 6' fibreglass roofing sheets into a skip, they'd just about filled one. Looked like they had quite a few more to go.
I didn't need any but I hate waste and I was sure they'd have done somebody a good turn.

I've drop the ceiling in one of the front rooms.
Dirty, dirty business. Dust everywhere, I've been clearing the lath and plaster, separating the wood and came across a hammer.
Must have buried my hammer.

I don't own a Stanley hammer like that!
I do now!

 

[angellonewolf]

I feel your pain. Doing some work in the flat at the moment, & dust gets everywhere.

I need to drop and replace the kitchen ceiling. The dirt and dust is the reason I've been putting it off for years.

 

[angellonewolf]

been done that but mines a 1970 house and plasterboard ceilings but the amount of dust and small rubish that was in there thankfully i was doing the whole kitchen at the same time so the room was empty
