The least she can do is piss off out so I can watch it in "peace".... NSFW OBVS I saw a it of this and it looks like Kelly eats a lot more cake than she bakes. I say this as fat fecker myself that likes a fulsome woman, but it was a bit of a shock. outlaw118, Timewaster and Cavcraft 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilA Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Spent yesterday evening pulling this to pieces. Got it so now the motor runs the main drum, the letters mostly operate, line feed works. The carriage is stuck solid though and I'm trying to figure why. May have to really start getting serious with the pulling apart. It's a complicated bastard though Phil Aston Martin, Remspoor, somewhatfoolish and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austat Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I found this very amusing. Picking up passengers whilst joyriding too! SiC, LightBulbFun and rainagain 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilA Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Genteel application of hammers and oil. The carriage doesn't move left by itself, the string that pulls it is broken. However, it's doing typewriter style things now which is an improvement. Should be a nice machine when it's done.

cobblers Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I'm pretty well tooled up, I've got plenty of stuff and it was all a nuisance round the house, so last year when I got my business unit, literally every single tool went there. We've not go so much as a flipping screwdriver here. So, this afternoon I fetched a drill driver and a couple of screws home from work to sort out the loose floorboard on the landing. And in reading that sentence alone, 60% of readers know exactly where this is going. It was a central heating pipe on the landing. I managed to use brute force to get the board up and put my fingers on the pipe to slow some of the leaking, but I didn't have anything at all to drop the pressure out of the system, let alone do a repair. So the mrs had to sit on the landing stemming the flow while I took advantage to the very quiet roads to absolutely tear arse it to work and pick up some tools and plumbing bits. While the living room ceiling hasn't come through yet, it's lath and plaster with 3 layers of plasterboard on it so I suspect the true result of a few gallons of water will take some time to appear.

Saabnut Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Day 5 of quarantine in a small hotel room in a cold and wet Stavanger. I think I am coping well with the isolation.

I did that with a gas pipe in 1984 , boxed it in , last nail , psssttttt Fuck, wrong side of the meter too An engineer was there in 20 minutes to fix it , he turned it off in the road , sparked up his blow lamp, offered the solder up to the hole with the blow lamp and 2ft of flame shot out of it That woke him up Stanky, TooManyPeopleMovers, paulplom and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have dropped it last night when I bundled some stuff out of the car. It's been well ran over but we are only missing a button, I'll sew a new one on today. paulplom, HarmonicCheeseburger, Skizzer and 4 others 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it'll just get minging again eventually, but given it's new to me (£free) it'd be nice to have it feel new, and won't exactly take long. A nice oil finish of some sort.
