No quitten we're whelan on to chitchat 11

These projects on rte are monuments to architects grandeur is all. Limestone Cowboy hit the nail on the head, they have no regard for their clients money.

I don't know wrangler, maybe so. Once they committed it was very hard to step back anyway.

Alot of people don't ask for a price beforehand and then get stung .

Just on the bungalow bliss I reckon you'd want to do a lot of the demolition work yourself to keep costs down. Cant understand when they had to remove all internal walls ( unfortunate ) the architect didn't alter plans re layout as seem to put back bedrooms as were before. Anyway looks like I'll have to do something myself, inherited bit of land and bungalow from uncle, he was in nursing home for 8 years, did nothing during that time ( copper cylinder was stolen etc ). Then costs got high but now co co have put derelict notice on it, going to charge 7% of value if nothing done

Brother in law 55 died suddenly last year 18th December, now sister in law 53 isn’t expected to make Christmas, just waiting on a hospice bed now for her. My wife’s only two siblings. Mam also passed away in the spring

been hard time

Know the feeling - my best pal past away this time last year, only 53 and left behind a wife 10 years younger:(

Went to ring an ad on DoneDeal, hit call, then call on a small pop up but nothing happened. Has anyone else has similar

Charged up a battery overnight and stuck it into the fathers uncles (my grand uncle? Is that a thing?) 135 earlier. I'd say the engine turned for 5 seconds and she started. First time since 2011 the tractor was going. He parked it in the shed, with topper on it back then and hasn't moved since (he's since died). Couldn't believe it started so easy. Hardly a puff of smoke out of her. Delighted with that. He bought it new in 1967 or sometime around then and was the only tractor he ever owned. Was never overworked. Cab is rotten. Mechanically though all seems 100%. I'm over the moon really.

Was talking to a guy with 2 165s, 2 is the older version with the 65 engine while the other is the last model, says there’s a difference in the 2, the older will go the the latter would get stuck

Ya can if ya no where to look or have the right box😁😁

Hi, we're upgrading the handling facilities a bit. Well overdue.

We've an outfarm, mother's old place, very seldom require a crush there but I guess when you need it you need it.

My question is do any of you have any experience of the mobile crushes? On a 3 point linkage afaik.

Cannot beat a 135. Great having a relatives one too. Years that you have a surplus, parts can go against tax that year. The manual to repair it is very much step by step. Drop me a pm- I think I’ve a digital copy of one somewhere,

our 135 is a pure work horse- wide wheels and it floats on the wet land. Many a place I’d jump off and get stuck myself.

when I’ve a few Bob I want to get another one for vintage drives on a Sunday

Local department vet passed away on Friday. He was 89. He was a great character. My dad had him up for cancer treatment a few times. On one occasion he told my dad he reckoned one of the nurses fancied him. My dad nearly crashed the car..
