Title: Old age is a terrible burden!
Post by: PhilRich on 19 April 2010, 21:22:04
I have just used up 5 hours of my valuable time fitting a new vanity unit & ceramic basin top in the bathroom! The point being, that just a couple of years ago, I would have done the same job in an hour and a half tops (including tea breaks)!!!!!
Not only that, but everything I do seems to be cack handed & I have to think twice before doing anything to save me doing it twice! ;D
I'm sat here typing & the only parts of me not aching are my finger tips LOL ;D  She wants me to paint the ceiling next!!!! :o    Roll on Death!  ;D ;D ;D ;)

I no how you feel, on Saturday I fitted my towbar. Book time I believe is 2 hours.

I started around 10.00 and was putting my tools away at 16.00.

I did solder all the electrics, but that can't account for an extra 4 hours.

 ;D

There was a short delay while I wondered why it wouldn't separate from the gearbox. Then I noticed the starter motor was still attached (and it bolts to the bellhousing, making it a little difficult to remove the flywheel). ::)  :-X

If you ever wake up in the morning and nothing hurts, then you probably died in your sleep...
