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

[mtt.tr]

Not so much acquired more installed... 7mtrs of chimney flue, threaded down the chimney to socket into a pipe from the stove. Reason for this was if we burnt damp wood it would condense on the inside of the stack and then ‘bleed’ through the wall eps up stairs in the bedroom..

I should have fitted a liner when I originally fitted the fire, but others told me different. So a bit of forward thinking, I made sure I could retro fit a liner without disturbing the chimney breast in the living room.

I’m please to say it worked. Well chuffed. Really well chuffed

Not a job i enjoy.

Not a job i enjoy.

It went surprisingly well. Interesting holding 4mtrs of flue above the pot to slide it down, then hold that while I connected another 3mtrs. It poked out the pot about 600mm, that was split length ways and then folded over the pot and jubilee clipped in place. So when its swept it doesn’t push the liner up.

Its good when jobs go well....it's rare so enjoy the moment.

I had one at the weekend....replacing a decat pipe with a proper silencer....plan was to cut the flanges off the decat pipe....slide them into the bolt on silencer and stick it in the car.

Everything fit like a glove and I was done in 10 minutes...bloomin amazing

A “small” bearing press. Had to cut a foot off it to be able to stand it up in the garage. Filled with fluid and have pumped the ram both ways about 30 times but it still won’t build pressure, guess I’ll have to take the pump off

Granny > eggs , but is there a bleed screw hidden away somewhere? The ram [new] I bought for mine had instructions about set-up - can't remember now what they were as I dismissed them when it worked...

I bought a new trowel, after using a london pattern early this year i came to really like it cuts bricks better than a Philadelphia trowel

Be nice to get my face work completed tomorrow.

Any idea what it could be used for? Apart from pressing in bearings or the like? Also is the ships wheel (on the right) the bit that actually drives the pump? Looks lovely!

It's a lovely thing. I have until xmas to remove it. So I am hoping to dismantle a few bits so it's a bit more manageable

 

[jimbo84]
