    Back to the Fog lights...

    ...what it is: A Ford Focus with front foglamps!!! Still, it does appear to handle quite nicely which is a surprise, every Focus I have had previously handled like a bag of potatoes in a wheelbarrow. Possibly this is to do with the fact it has 5 miles on the clock, maybe Ford have updated things.

    Jumbo Bag Kerbside Delivery Without Permit?

    If it's not a busy road, then just get on with it. By the time anyone notices it, to complain, it should be gone. Organise a BBQ, and and few mates, to help out with the barrowing.

    Small slab by hand mixing ?

    ...be done by hand, although it's around 2 bulk bags of all in, so you might want to look at the cost of a weekend mixer hire. Mixing in a wheelbarrow is a lot slower than mixing on a large banker board. You could stick some hard-core in the bottom to reduce the amount of concrete needed. 6...

    Another example of how cash strapped councils waste money

    I think we can all agree on that! Labour selling off our gold, sunak almost wheelbarrowing money to his in-laws. There’s no difference between the parties. Just **** takers stealing our money.

    Composting Advice

    I am currently taking compost out about 10-15 wheelbarrows worth already. I keep being pestered by a few bumblebees , maybe their nest was in the heap. I agree to keep the weeds out. Some of the privet stems that I thought were too small to shred were actually sprouting, even though they had...

    Screed floor. Any tips for getting it level please

    ...to update you all, the floor went in well today. The screed was delivered and because the tracked barrow I hired wouldn't start it was a wheelbarrow job and a bucket. 1 cubic metre dumped on the drive but glad I had it delivered and didn't have to mix by hand. Floor looking good nice...

    breeze and single layer

    You're saying you want your neighbours to reinforce their wall so you can bash wheelbarrows into it and hit it with scaffold poles? If it were my wall you damaged then damn right I'd get you to pay for the repair.

    Squeaking wheels

    ...serena and have recently noticed a squeaking noise especially when moving off or reversing coming from the rear wheels, like when a wheelbarrow wheel needs oiling. The brakes probably need looking at and it is going to the garage on thursday for a pre mot check. However can anyone enlighten...

    Wheelbarrow bearing?

    ...gimbal thingy from a design on the net and managed eventually to contact the designer. Turns out this bearing is just a single row ball race bearing and, as you rightly suggested, nothing to do with your average wheelbarrow! Possibly an American term. Anyway I now know what to get. Cheers G

    Help identifying and sourcing replacement kitchen tap

    Yup, plug one end and on the other use a bit of wheelbarrow inner tube with the valve in it - cut the tube and wrap it over the metal - secure with a jubilee clip - pump it up with bike pump ( I would use the electric pump that came with my new car instead of a spare wheel ! FFS ) Only cuz I can...

    Demolishing and removing an old patio. Is it worth it?

    Concrete removal is not exactly skilled labour, so if you're up for a little exercise it would surely be much cheaper to DIY: hire a skip, wheelbarrow and a hammer drill/breaker for a weekend. Invite a couple of healthy friends/neighbours around, get in a case of beer and fire up the BBQ? Dont...

    DIY timber scaffold on a Main Street!

    When I was there, I witnessed Koreans constructing a motorway flyover in a few weeks. Perhaps we could ask them to come and build our HS2 system!

    Savers to lose money in EU bailout

    ...and the savers losing most or all of their money. You're barmy. The EU are going to traipse into "your" bank on Monday with wheelbarrows full of cash to help prop it up. Are you going to knock their heads off? Or are you going to try to insist that they should bring yet more...

    I doubt very much that it will just be through the garage.

    Life for Death by Dangerous Driving?

    Then we need to ban all vehicles capable of killing people at whatever speed they kill them at. Once we've banned all of them, we need to look at things like wheelbarrows & shopping trolleys. Danger is all around us & we need to stop all of this needless death.

    Why should we have to pay for her funeral

    ...Ken Loach http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/ken-loach-wants-thatcher-s-funeral-privatised-091117524.html “How should we honour her? Let’s privatise her funeral. Put it out to competitive tender and accept the cheapest bid. It’s what she would have wanted.” I bid £49, I've got my own wheelbarrow

    Overgrown garden, stupidly high quotes

    ...them up to be burned after a week or so when they've had chance to dry out a little. In the first instance, hire a skip and get rid of all the rubbish and rubble. Maybe keep some as hardcore if you intend on doing a concrete shed base. If you haven't got one, buy a builders wheelbarrow.

    ...is called TruCube, based on Rolfe Stree, Smethwick. £125 for the first cube, £75 for each cube thereafter. They offer a free wheelbarrow service, where they will barrow it for you. Havent got the number to hand, but try googling it. When I said £275, I mean for the materials for...
