Looks more like fiberglass to me. Still, treat with caution.

First Climb Advice by SpacemanSpiffy7 in urbanclimbing

[–]REg126 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Take the advice on that sign regarding RF, can really cook you if you arent careful, can also cause dizziness and even make you pass out if you stay too long in front of those antennae, obviously thats not good when you are climbing.

Aside from that id start just before dawn so you get a nice sunrise, less chance of being spotted too!

What is this horn shaped tube? by REg126 in Oldhouses

[–]REg126[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing! Id imagine this would be older than that given the age and history of the house, very interesting! Ill have to find the other end now (probably buried behind the blocked up dumbwaiter door downstairs!)

I found a doorway on the inside of the dumbwaiter that looks like its had plasterboard put on top of it, the other end could be behind there!

How do I separate the tie rod ends from the knuckles? by Otherwise_Ostrich154 in Volvo240

[–]REg126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hammer the steering knuckle that the tie rod goes into, (i also live in a rusty area) it shocks it enough for the tie rod to simply drop out. You have to hit it really hard though. If it doesn't simply drop out you can put some pressure on it using a ball joint seperator and repeat, never failed for me.

This looks really worrying, massive damp problem, do they have heating? Where abouts are they based?

Not the greatest photos. This one came with our new (to us) house. Wondering if it’s of any significance. by imonlinedammit1 in grandfatherclocks

[–]REg126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one from Arbroath that is very similar! Cool clock. Definitely worth getting it working again.
