Simon Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Tried to get the stock trailer out.... It's been used as a 'shoot hut' and has been stood in the field at Marlbrook for, crikey, 5 years maybe... but it's an Ifor Williams TA12G so it's too good to let rot... I was going to whip the top off and make some low sides [maybe ] and use it as a GP trailer..... Tried to get the Disco round the front of it and was going to try to reverse it out... couldn't get anywhere near it and George kept shouting 'uh oh, we're getting stuck!'... so abandoned that and stuck the tow rope round it and tried to drag it out backwards.... got it about 10' but started heading for the canal so thought it wise to abandon it and hope for a dry spell / frost... \ Going to go cut some Ash cord into logs now... AGAIN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markduck Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I'm off to ecobuild in Earls Court with my boss, we're thinking about starting to instal solar panels, i believe the photovoltaic ones, they convert the sun's energy to electricty, rather than thermal ones.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Had a rather tough week let alone day at work for a variety of reasons, so i've decided to take most of my frustrations out on Britains's Renault Cergos which i'm planning on finishing off "rating and reviewing" tommorow. Although I did manage to escape the day job to see the highly talented Scottish band "Frightened Rabbit" in York on thursday night, tired I am but awesome they were: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Had a fantastic day thanks, met new freinds and old ones and even some locals to me who were there. Absolutely heaving with people but very cold with a sneaky wind, thank goodness the sheds were heated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
