Chimneys tomorrow then, or perhaps down a tin mine. :D

Maybe...........



In this part of Cornwall they mined copper first. Then arsenic. What could possibly go wrong?

The regulations only apply to adult workers, and then only barely in Cornwall!  :D

Today I glued the bits together to make an offside wing mirror for Mrs Builder's car ;D

Took a look at TBE's headlight washers - I thought I'd pulled the fuse, but that looks to be there, so lost interest.

Just (hopefully) cured an oil leak on a Chinese motorbike with a smear of GM cam cover goo all around the gasket on the engine side casing before bolting it back on nice and tight.
Does that count, as GM products were involved ?  ;D

Been  having fun, cleaning valve lifters from wifes 2ltr omega. Headgasket went, so had head checked. Almost back together, just valves, cams, waterpump and timing to do, drain mayo out of sump.  ::)

What greeted me when piston removed


Piston parts laid out in their positions for assembly


Just got to pump them in oil to remove air.
