There was a good size farm and sheds for sale here not so long ago. It was rented since the owner died with no will made. The sitting tenant made some song and dance at the auction, and a fool of himself too. and out bid any competition , but was beat in the last two bidders.
Strangely enough the winning bidder backed out a few days later, and the sitting tenant bought it for less. Hasn't come without its troubles though, you would wonder if someone from beyond, or otherwise doesn't want the place to work.
Lot of people talking about why he bought it. Know a guy who would be in there regularly, he counted the stock and said no way would a living be made, or repayments for that matter be made. With what's there. You would wonder what people want so much.

Break open the window.

A bent paperclip/pin actually should do the trick, it's small enough to fit around the key and slip it out.

Happened me before and I was able to cut a groove in the bit of the key that was left in the lock then stuck a flathead into that groove and turned the key while still inside the lock.

Might work for ye if there's enough of the key left in the lock.

Yale type lock, or the Basta type lock?

Also, are the hinge pins on your side of the door, or the other?
If your side, your flying, just tap out the hinge pins.

If its a yale type, and the bit is left in the door, surprisingly a bit of superglue can work.

Screw off the faceplate and handle.. it might give you the access to the stub of the key, long nose pliars might get it..

I wouldn't recommend glue into a yale lock, or any lock... only going one way with that trick !!

Pins on other side so no go

Key is out, one of the small stubs at end of key is broke, not sure if its in door, tried face plate, no go
No spare key

Got me car through nct first time today. 08 with over 300,000 km on it. Never had to put any parts into it since new. People knock them, but there's a lot to be said for Toyota!

Kovu · 13-12-2013 04:42PM

Hugo is it a big old style key with the long handle or a new yale type one?

Just got a phone call from Dovea there. We have 2 calves off VMP and one of their agents is coming to weigh and grade them tomorrow.

Knew their dates of birth and Dam sires and all. Something about upgrading his stats or something. Honestly wasn't listening too much as I was looking for the AI book! Anyone else get this kind of call?

Lads from anchor man on late late now. I wonder will burgundy play jazz flute

RobertKK · 13-12-2013 11:27PM

Have a cow calving tonight, a bull broke in last March and got her in calf, she will be having her second calf this year - calved in February, dried off not too long ago but she has a good springing.
Not ideal given the others start calving in January, but once healthy it will be good.

jersey101 · 14-12-2013 12:41AM

Fathers friend was down tonight and he had his jeep in the DOE today and passed it. But there is a new levy of 25e gone onto the DOE price. Something to do with the irish road authority. Anyone else see this?
