Sometimes you're just left speechless, just watch.

Well done.

Wowzers.

What a fabulous thing to do.

The story of that boat - from where you found it, to how you restored and adapted it, to how your son and family enjoyed it - really needs to be told properly.

And now this. I'm left a bit speechless, tbh.

👏👏

What a great thing to do.

That's unreal and a very lucky man to be able to get out on the water.

Thanks all , as you know this boat only came to be from your help and support, it had served us well for the time it needed to and now its time for someone else to enjoy the benefits of being out on the water building memories , in the end memories are the only thing of value and to be in someone's memory is a gift.

What a lovely moving gesture Fergal.

Next level selflessness from you and your wife.

I take it OldsCool is looking good for 2024!

Maybe not 2024 I'm on a go slow but will have more time to be going slow 😁 I'm also looking at getting wrist fusion op's where I will have metal plates put in my wrist to stop them moving in any direction this should ease the pain but limit my movements , I will have to train my elbows to be more flexible 😅

Just don't hesitate to ask for help on here when you can use it, you've certainly paid it forward often enough. Anyone handy knows an extra pair of hands for even a few minutes can not only make some tasks a lot safer but often get it done in 10% of the time and effort struggling on your own.

This isn't the first instance of Fergal's incredible generosity. A few years ago Fergal was the winner of a nationwide competition for a large range of power tools. As part of the promotion he was filmed demonstrating some of the tools in a workshop setting. He wanted this filmed closer to home for personal reasons instead of in the distributors warehouse. Fergal chose his local men's shed in nearby Balbriggan.

When filming was completed, he called the lads from the men's shed into the workshop and simply said "Guys, I have duplicates of almost everything I won, I'll take one or two items and would like to donate the rest over to you"

Fergal, you'll be pleased to know your power tools are used on a weekly basis.

Many thanks, Con [admin]

Thanks Con ☺️ if interested I still have a large collection of power tools that I would love to find a good home for as most of them I can't use anymore but maybe I could drop by sometime and have you plane a bit of wood for me or do a bit of welding 🙂 it would also mean I could fit in my shed again 😀 if you are interested or know of any other men's / women's sheds that would like them please get in touch and we will sort something out .

Kind regards.
