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
Result!! Double preferably and I need a tv as well!
Seriously John, I love your garage, I can only dream of getting mine finished to anywhere near that standard!
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!
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.
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.

I slink into my once pristine garages after looking at yours,
you could eat your dinner off the floor, mine well I am not sure if you can find much floor .:Oops:
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.
