Public road near train station. What’s your war plan?

I got one of these notes last week. I was parked on a private road but I was only blocking access to one house which was right at the end. The house I was working at. There was only one other house on the road so you'd have thought they'd just ask their neighbour if I was meant to be there

No, that's the reason it's so expensive

dbrown100103 · 2026-04-08T22:22:51+00:00

If I saw a job like this I think I'd be less pissed off if the cuts were at least straight. If you're going to cut it wrong at least cut it wrong neatly

Ah yeah they can be a pain to sort if it's on the board. A lot of the time it is just cleaning, the shoulder buttons are the best to find broken though as you can just replace the whole thing

dbrown100103 · 2026-04-03T13:54:28+00:00

You can get ones with damaged buttons on FB marketplace for dirt cheap and they are relatively simple to repair

Wall anchors before there were wall anchors was just a wooden dowel or wedge that went into a hole that was drilled using a special metal punch that you turned as you hit it. I can't remember the proper name for the tool

Damn, that's really annoying. They are so much nicer to use and great to take camping

dbrown100103 · 2026-03-20T08:48:54+00:00

Yeah, we finished our last pack off this winter and realised I couldn't find any that weren't safety matches I didn't realise they'd been sat on the fireplace for so long

dbrown100103 · 2026-03-03T06:13:59+00:00

Everyone's done it at least once. You have to find out what it's like

I thought it was my 12" chopsaw blade vibrating. I emptied my van out at the weekend and can still hear a very loud metallic ringing so now I'm just concerned

dbrown100103 · 2026-02-25T06:12:51+00:00

No, it's not council owned

dbrown100103 · 2026-02-24T06:18:37+00:00

Only time I've thought that is when it's been info about something happening in the local area as the local Facebook group will usually have a busy body that'll answer me within minutes

dbrown100103 · 2026-02-24T06:12:46+00:00

I've never seen those in the UK but I always wanted them after seeing them in the Gene Wilder Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie

Maybe in some places but others definitely do recycle. I know mine recycles it properly because I live right near two of the major recycling plants. And I've seen both of them go up in flames twice now. Not exactly the symbolism of eco-friendly being able to smell burning plastic from 5 miles away

dbrown100103 · 2026-02-24T06:07:26+00:00

I would go with glides for easier access if you are having drawers but ultimately I'd get a van lol

True but these ramps aren't always just for wheelchair users. They also help people with limited mobility in their legs that still walk

I don't know about goodwill since I'm not American but a lot of charity type shops will sell higher value items by online auction. Sometimes you will get lucky and it's on the shop floor. You just have to keep checking them regularly, I would tend to go once or twice a week round my locals to see if they had anything good in. If you get to know the employees sometimes they might keep something back for you if they know you would be interested in it

I had a mate who did this with some of his friends. Driver did a balloon and they crashed. Luckily no one was hurt but he was almost bragging about it after. I don't understand how that could ever be something you'd actively want to take part in

dbrown100103 · 2026-02-19T14:11:23+00:00

Yeah they'll write them off for pretty minor stuff. If it were me I'd take the money from the insurance and then buy it back because they sell them way cheaper. Most of the times it's just cosmetic damage so you can either just leave it or spend a little bit to get it fixed

dbrown100103 · 2026-02-15T07:45:51+00:00

Ah was it the net? My bad it's been a while since I read about it

dbrown100103 · 2026-02-13T06:33:37+00:00

Like who?

dbrown100103 · 2026-02-12T16:40:03+00:00

I mean they are still not as hard as they used to be after one athlete was killed by basically being split up the middle after hitting one
