I am sure you can drink toilet duck but there is a risk it will send you round the bend.

Today I acquired..a broken workshop roof “truss” down at the bungalow. Had my reservations about them when it was put up 4 years ago, the roof sagged from day one but I bodged it as best I could then set about making some replacements.
As always is the case, they sat in storage! To be fair I should have replaced the roof in the summer just gone but other things needed repairs and time got away from me.
So I shall be acquiring;
26x OSB3 TG4 @ 8x2ft
20x 3x2 @ 16ft
5x 10mtr rolls of mineral felt
Along with a boat load of screws, nails, brackets and adhesive, then booking a long weekend and praying for good weather.

Today I acquired eleven bottles of methylated spirit's for £1.29 each. Got them at a " Home Bargains " shop so I bought all that was on the shelf. Sure beats paying £4.50 for a 500ml bottle which seems to be the going price. Saved £35.31 compared to other places offering the exact same product.

Next time you are near a horse feed and saddlery place check out the horse grooming stuff , IIRC 5 litres of meths cost me £12.40 a year ago from Claytons Ammanford . I think it's used for cleaning horses hooves prior to polishing them up for a competition .
Eventually got fed up with trying to fix my 15 year old chainsaw (re previous thread on here) and bought a shiny new one.
OMG, what a revelation
, quieter, easy to start, chain adjust on a thumbwheel and cuts like a beast. Clever stuff on the helmet as well like the ear defenders are spring/click fit so when you push them into your ears they lock in place and help to hold the lid on nice and tight. Probably old news for all you regular tree cutters but wish I had taken the plunge years ago with a proper saw

Its a MS211 CBE on a 16" bar. Wasn't too fussed about the fancy recoil starter on the CBE but wanted the easy adjust chain tension which I think is a great idea.
Also got one of their 2 in 1 Easyfile sharpeners, which my neighbour recommended and looking at Youtube reviews seem to be great (haven't used mine yet).

Saw an internet ad for a self sharpening chainsaw yesterday ...made me wonder how good it might be or not be . Any comments that aren't rude or offensive ?

Plastering and brick laying course?
Micky mouse, costs so much more than just sharpening the saw. Needs a special chain, replacement grind stone and a special bar. (this is taken as the oregon prosharp system) I have one somewhere but just isn't worth the cost

Just skim.
Been laying brick for years but don't fancy trying my hand at plastering on a customers gaff.
Been meaning to knock up a corner and ceiling in the garden for the last 3 summers to teach myself but never find the time.
Weekend course should be all I need

Horse shoes, lots and lots of horse shoes.
Got a delivery from @hotponyshoes this morning, got them all sorted out at lunch, arrived home tonight and a local farrier had also dropped some off.
Some of them from the local guy seem to be aluminium as shown in last 2 photos.

Ordered the material(s) today so they should be here by the end of the week. Very switched on service from the Company, I'm impressed. The 'side click' edging system cost more than the actual sheeting stuff, but hey ho, needs must.
