  1. Ripped up the flooring in the Utility and Study. I've got it pretty dry now through using the dehumidifier, fan heaters and central heating on full pelt. My mate has a damp meter I can borrow to check it's actually dried out. New build concrete floors so no basement to worry about. I could go through insurance, but unless I run into issues I'll probably be able to fix it over a weekend for less the excess, increased premiums and general fucking hassle of it all. (£550 excess for escape of water..must remember to check the small print of my renewal next time!). LVT will be used instead of laminate as it least that won't be immediately fucked should it happen again. Annoying but could've been worse.
  2. Spent the last hour pulling the washing machine out as it's decided to lose all its water and soak the utility. Even better waters seeped into both the toilet and my study through the wall. My study floor is squelching. Fuck sakes!
  3. I tripped walking up the stairs last night whilst holding a full cup of tea and managed to fling it EVERYWHERE. Tonight's job is to repaint the hall.
  4. Glad they are alright. That's proper scary!
  5. I just did the same! I'm on the corner with an apartment/flats car park across the road so it's a bit open to the wind wooshing across it. The wind is howling, so we've decanted into a spare room at the back to get some peace. I went out after dinner and moved the residents bins (who have left them out all week in the car park because they are lazy fecks) into their bin store before they inevitably blow into someones car (probably mine).
  6. A diesel Montego Countryman. In green.
  7. 1995? A Volvo 850 T5 Estate. Manual box. It would last and be all the car I'd need really.
  8. Very nice!. I do have pangs of regret about selling mine (ex @SiC). It was a lovely thing to tootle about in. Never had more attention, compliments or random chats with strangers about a car. Almost made the world a nicer place to be in.
  9. Been slowly dismantling more of the Saab. Tank and rear axle out as I'm not welding beside a fuel tank and I want to replace all the bushes and dampers on the axle: Underneath is not a complete horror show (well not found anything here I didn't know about already but time will tell).... Most of the interior out : Ventilation: Found some more quality repairs in the driver's footwell:
  10. Electric folding mirrors - They should either fold when the vehicle is locked or fold by pushing the button on the door without the ignition being on. The Navara has neither option which is great when getting out of it on a tight busy road as you don't have a huge mirror to glance at before opening the door in traffic. So it's the Dutch reach each time. The rear tailgate doesn't operate with the central locking which I suppose is normal for a pickup with an open bed but you need to disassemble the key every time you want to lock it which is just silly as it's footery AF:
  11. Started with 4. Finished with 4. Out: Out after almost 7 years: In/out: In: Back after being away a decade: Still goat: Red Mx-5 and Navara.
  12. My cousin sent me a photo from her local supermarket in NZ. That's £45 for a watermelon 😂.
  13. I've been out the game for nearly three weeks after having a minor accident* and pulling muscles in my lower back. Still sair but Mrs GMcD is away for 3 nights at a work thing, so been chipping away at the Saab. Out with it's heart: *Don't jump over things in the pitch black in your garden shed at 8pm at night. It never goes well.
  14. Nailed it. Milk bottle used as infill/bridge then a sandwich of p38 and p40. It was stinking when breaking it up....I mean I knew it had a bit of clag in the arch, but I hadn't realised it was that much 😂. It's a Saab 900.
