I've never understood why most tape measures have to be read when the tape cassette is held in the right hand . Most folk are right handed so have to try and mark the reading with their left hand.
A cabinet makers tape is the opposite and are available in imperial & metric . Some git of a kitchen fitter half inched both of mine when he asked if he could use my workmate outside as a tile cutting bench I'm sure of it .

A great accessory for a small grinder. I also found mine the perfect tool for making french drains out of plastic pipe to place behind my retaining walls, as I couldn't find anything readily available.

I looked at the black perforated type, but wanted a stiffer straight pipe which I could properly set level behind the walls.
And today I acquired some good news, my tax withholding has finally been refunded.

Small haul today.
Hole punch, close enough to the right size I needed.
A hand vice, in need of TLC.
A cute small oil can.
Charity shop wanted £! each. I left a £5.
Apparently I've acquired a new multi-fuel burning stove today, to replace the pile of junk that was fitted all of 2 years ago by a supposedly reputable company.
But the man couldn't fit it because as well as the stove pipe being shot, it now transpires that the liner in the chimney is also shot!! When I gather my thoughts about this, I'll write a post about this whole sorry saga, but suffice it to say that if we don't get a full refund, we'll be taking legal action against the original company

A lovely big dent and scuff on the back door, two big creases on the rear quarter and a big scuff on the rear bumper after a wagon moved across into my lane

A 2mtr length of 100x50 galvanised RHS that literally fell off a lorry and 6 plywood crate tops from slate crates that were dumped at the back of my cab this morning.
The plywood will be turned in to warmth and an orange glow in due course

Perfect for sorting out the drainage in the lower field
" Think Boss , " It's a darn sight cheaper & easier to buy the ribbed perforated land drainage pipe in random weave sleeves, buy it in 25 , 50 or 100 mtr rolls plus there is only the need to connect at the end of each length . " " Arc Tourist I saw your later post but couldn't resist the above .
Back in 1997 on my small mammal farm I ran my land drain pipes diagonally. One every 1.5 mtrs.across the bank on the batter about 2 feet back covered to top ends in three layers of rubble sack & cable tied in in place . I terminated them in a 1 mtr x 600 wide sump the length of the wall on the filled side then out to a lower level ditch via an 8 inch rigid plastic pipe set under a 2 mtr wide pathway . The trench was lined & covered with a commercial permeable fleece type membrane to help filter out any sand & silt , filled it with clean 2 inch black limestone . The back fill over the soil bank was small stone & grit scrapings off the bed of the disused railway line that ran through the property
One of the better benefits of the job. Any firewood is good, free wood is even gooder
