A Christmas Wish-List for Self Builders ; and you'd add ..... ?

[ToughButterCup]

Dear Santa.

The grand-children say that this year I have been very well behaved. I haven't made them pick up spilled screws, - (I let them use a magnet)  or sweep the sawdust off the floor.

(I let them use the blower instead) : that was fun because they learned the value of safety goggles and a face mask. And learned the difference between steel and stainless steel. 

 

And every time they have wanted to play on the digger, I let them. I even allowed them to dig a hole so deep they couldn't get out without a ladder. I had my first glimpse of the extent of their brotherly  love - one chose to take the ladder away and leave his bro stuck in the hole. 

 

I also let them use the digger to  fill their Tonka lorry with sand.  Ahhhh....

 

Since I've been a thoroughly good grandad , I'm submitting the following list for family perusal and retention

 

• A BM which automatically applies decent discounts to genuine self-builders
• An automated lost tool finder
• A digger which cannot throw a track (even when it's cross with the way I drive it)
• Delivery drivers who read  the delivery instructions
• A self-propelled  self-cleaning cement mixer that doesn't let mortar set in the drum
• Pain killers that work instantly
• A parrot that sits on my shoulder that warns me just before I make a mistake
• Tool batteries that recharge themselves
• A laser level that remains visible in bright sunlight

Better stop there, don't want to appear greedy ....😑
