The posts are 3 meters long, Aslong as my measurments are correct 2.35 meters will stick out the ground but the bits that have been added on the bottom are about 30cm, They are there to allow the concrete to flow underneath.

I assume you'll be vibrating the mix once in place? They could form a bubble which would weaken the post

not that i do lots of cementing but when putting in a post is just agatate it witha bit of wood or metal never had a problem yet but now they do post mix its even easyer

[angellonewolf]

The posts have a hole in the top and low down on the front for a ducting to enter, The plan was to fix them upright with 2 legnths of unistrut then have concrete done by a local guy with a truck, It is very easy flowing so it should get in the post, But i have a mate with a poker and power pack so i will grab that.

It's amazing how much the mix can drop after a go with the vibrator.

And you haven't ever seen 3x2?!

A neighbour moving house today gave me this handful of end mills. Guehring solid carbide SL series, all new and unused. If you paid full retail this little collection would set you back almost £400.

A new toolbox

Been after a stacking system for a while and need to get organised. This one has metal clamps to hold them together and the bits are sold individually

Once I’m happy with them I will buy more so I can have them for different jobs, if you buy one of each size they are £99 and I got the extra top box for £20 instead of £27

Tool hire is for tools that are slightly larger than you actually need or can safely use

I have loads of odd sized boxes and stuff in bags etc etc so I’m planning to organise stuff and label them. Didn’t want to go mad so see how I get on with these
