When we returned to the scrap yard yesterday for the last time, I saw these. It would be a shame to let the slowly rust away.
So I took them home.
A very fine Wet stone.
In good condition, just a quick restoration.
It is water tight, but the trough is caked in lime scale.
Another old pillar drill. Looks intact, but stiff to operate the chuck.
Turns out the chuck is not original.

Today I acquired a sore back from stupidly not checking and blowing the the wheelbarrow tyre. The first load of rubble was a struggle, but I pushed on with it, and got another load dumped once I'd blown the tyre up. The damage was done by then, though. Had to stop for the day after that, as my back was shouting at me. I know enough to take heed of the warnings, 'cos if I don't I'll be knackered for more than just one day.
Still, there's always tomorrow, and even if I only get a couple of barrowloads cleared per day it's a start.
By this time next week I might have a cleared floor and some blocks down.

Those shafts did have a habit of "un-Friending" the head.
A building site in Cheltenham went as far as banning them.

A few wee planks I got a while back.
The old rafters from a canal pumping house that's being rebuilt down the lane from me.
12 x 3 " is flipping heavywhen you live down a narrow towpath. My lumbar disks weren't happy that day.
They used to use African hardwoods on lock gates and things which were submerged beneath the water - I know Ekki was used a fair bit. Amazing really.

This was actually yesterday but a delivery date for the new kitchen
In 9 days time
Original person in B&Q said 4-6 weeks for delivery but when we went in to actually place the order yesterday the bloke said it would be just over a week. But we can always delay it if I need to.
Might have to wait a few weeks before I fit it, I'll need to take a week off work but we are really, really looking forwards to finally having a dishwasher (other than me!!)
And to celebrate having to do the kitchen I picket up a cheap track saw from B&Q at the same time.

Another trip in a AA recovery wagon.
Another long wait at Kwick Fit.
Another rent a van.
Kwick fit passed my van on to main dealer for the engine repairs and new radiator.
So why am I repeating last Tuesday?
Simple. front brakes need replacing, same front brakes they did not do as:
"They have a few thousand miles left"

Same as Greg, Titan track saw for 55quid.
Saw was pretty reasonable, on clearance and the kitchen was actually very reasonable, I know a few folk with B&Q kitchens and no one has any complaints.
It was my excuse for the tracksawHave just about finished ours, dishwasher is a game changer
Might try to wangle another makita bare unit if I can slip it past the head of the treasury!

Buying Milwaukee tools is an expensive habit as you’ll just want more. Having just taken delivery of another of their tools, a body grip jigsaw
