This just isn’t working Bolted timber to tread just bends . Did turn it by hand . Then tried to move into position and it just slipped back - couldn’t hold it . Chipped it ? So stuck like this for now . Problem with heavy physical stuff ; the more you try the more knackered and therefore weaker you get . So I need to stop for a re think

What’s the timber at the base for ? Also - what’s a “ helper “ ? ?

@Onoffso you saying fix a tread near the top and use that to lever it ‘upright ‘ ?

Tied a shoe lace to stop it sliding Not happy about that Perhaps this and a crap Fischer bolt into the top of the wall is better

I think I know what you mean - but diagram required before I attend hospital

Probably. But the only combat I’m having is against myself . Anyway who reads books

Idiot diagram required !

Got it down . But rotating it’s the issue as I thought

These things again ? https://www.safetyliftingear.com/products/1000kg-stainless-steel-dee-shackle/stain-dee-1t?gclid=CjwKCAjw2P-KBhByEiwADBYWChoQQeXqzF5Mr7wh48KrnAAhNXgDgzCdTgUvfCwAvls0qQQLFpWzShoC8JQQAvD_BwE Got some somewhere from the shower tray - just need to find them ….

Got the new winch . Struggling too see how to lift it . Hook to large for holes . Straps to large for holes . They supplied some hooks ( assuming they are for lifting ) but don’t fancy my chances with them . Really need to lift it ‘ on its end ‘ rather than flat as it currently is … Is there some other ‘strap’ type thing that would suit this better ?

Apparently the entire front soffit , facia and guttering needs replacing - with scaffolding of course . Any idea of a ‘fair ‘ price for such a job ?

I would expect nothing less

You are correct of course . We are all meaningless, pointless and futile . Blokes that play with chu chu ‘s just a bit more . Do you want to drive your train into my tunnel ?

@Onoff getting one on !

Toy trains are for children or sad old men with meaningless lives .

This country is certainly no place for old men like you ancient (expletive deleted)ers . Embrace the new ( sometimes dis functional ) technology . The ‘threat ‘ of WW3 . Inflation , shortages , poverty . It is indeed a brave ( shit ) new world .

I imagine it’s very small

You can't because you are not me. Without the internet I wouldn't exist.

But some of us are products of the internet.

You have to be very careful with that rule

I did a colour blindness test . It said to fill in the form with a black pen . I failed before I had even written my name .

SWMBO should notice in under 2 minutes !!

Do it on the cheap and have all the hassle / scripting yourself ? Homeseer , z wave , nas etc etc All good fun ( when it works )
