Contents of car boot
« on: 10 June 2010, 09:16:58 »

My son moved house end April and my daughter's place always needs things doing - so I am usually called into action - not unloaded for a while.

I made an inventory of items that have been in my boot for basically last  2 - 4 weeks:

Large tool box with spanners, screwdrivers etc mostly mixed and in wrong compartments
Lump hammer
Assorted large stone chisels - removing dodgy render and slab prep
Rubber slab mallet
Until yesterday 5 concrete pier caps for garden wall
Hards as Nails sealant stuff in gun with toilet paper over the end as cap lost
2 electric sanders in boxes
1 mains power drill - in box
1 electric screwdriver - in  box
1 drill box
1 socket set small
3 bricklaying/mortar trowels
1 plasterers float
1 old towel
1 old toilet seat - been there 2 weeks not had time to go to tip
1 large tub of mortar mix with about 4 trowel scoops left in it.
2 sets screwdrivers not in tool box
Electric hedgetrimmers
Extension lead

Not bad or maybe not good - and I work in an office!!

Car did seem a bit heavy.

oh and something for the car - electric tyre inflator and tyre gauge

Last time in MOT the engineer wondered that why my headlights aim so high in 0-position... I said that I have some tools in the boot... he said "No, that will not have this much affect"... I showed him the boot (full of tools for building a stone house) and it was enough for him...

Mind you when I had my Toyoya Carina II estate I once had the parts (engines, facias, seedo units, tow bar, and many other various parts) for 3 cars in the back, for free, thanks to a very friendly scrap yard man! :-* :-* 8-) 8-)
