Water powered only. Amazing the power water has

Slightly off thread but the mention of the power of water brought a tingling to my right leg.
Yes, I practically severed my right leg some years ago with a Ultra High Pressure water jet - it was running at 900 bar when it decided to come apart and attack my leg. That sort of pressure devours flesh and bone for breakfast.
My tracking has been off ever since - I pull to the left a bit, but very glad to still have my leg - thank you surgeons!
The night before I was discharged from the hospital the surgeon dropped around for a chat - he had a holiday house in Ireland. He nonchalantly informed me that he was prepping me for amputation when his colleague said lets wait a day or so and see how the bits left react.
I still break out in a cold sweat thinking of it!!
Regards
Bill

Seriously John, I love your garage, I can only dream of getting mine finished to anywhere near that standard!

A few more lights...

A couple of stainless steel 'Service' lights, constructed beautifully and located next to the ramp

Bit of an odd ball this one but I've owned loads of Brink towbars and just had to buy the sign when it came up for sale

Another one arrived today



I need to be inventive with this one as there is no light in it and nothing to attach it to the wall...I have a plan though

 

[Dubstar]

WOW, thats one impressive story. Well done you, lots of hard work but WELL worth it. Never seen this thread before but I will keep checking back to see what else you put in!

If I ever file for divorce John, I know where I'm going

A cold place to be in this weather Mark.


Spent a couple of hours with a sheet of plywood and a jigsaw cutting out a circle of wood that will be screwed onto the wall. The plywood was a little too thin to catch the screw holes on the sign so I attached 4 blocks at the correct spacing to allow the sign to attach to the timber. Then I screwed the timber to the wall and fitted a light base. I have to wait on a new bulb so can't see how it will look lit up just yet. I went to B&Q website for the price of the bulb and they want £10.00 for one, so a quick check on the internet revealed the same bulb for £3.00 each.

Bulb arrived today, job completed.

Just like a council house at Christmas

I've no problem with council housing

 

[Blobcat]

A couple more wire ties on the lead to the Vauxhall light would tidy it up nicely

John, my hat of to you, brilliant job and I'd love to have a garage like this (I mean the building and cars ;-)). I had a garage built, nothing as big as your one, but it is so nice to have it, especially for snow/icy mornings.

Brought the Jaguar out of hibernation yesterday, the last journey it did was last September and its been sitting on top of the ramp since then. Half a turn of the starter motor and it burst into life, so this morning it went for its annual MOT and passed and is now ready to do another 1000 miles this year. Checked the OBC and it tells me its averaging 26mpg so not too bad considering it's a big heavy car. On a run up to my daughter's at Roy Bridge, via Glen Coe I've seen the fuel consumption reach the dizzy heights of 32mpg.

Repairs for the first year of ownership...Nil

How's Tilly keeping John? Is she still into porn?
