chrisjpainter Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 For those locked down and not able to work for home, it's a chance to get all those jobs done that have been put off. What's been on the agenda for people? Our downstairs loo has needed painting for months! So, the paint's on the walls, the tiles are in place and drying and the mirror's up. What's next?

Walker570 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 I am rationing the jobs to do around this place and believe me there are a few. I don't want to run out before the three weeks is up or I will have to spend the remaining days sharpening up my shooting accuracy. Trail cam does show one or two rats lurking around my log store in the wood so important to visit them as soon as the camera gives me a time. Cleaned out my tractor shed this morning and piked up one of my chain saw protective boots...felt a bit heavy...tipped it out and a cupful of whole maize, leaves and sticks dropped on the floor. A rat was about to make a home there. Left it some blue stuff to nibble on tonight. The thing is , the only place I have whole maize is in a stable, 30yrds away acros the yard. My wife saw one scuttle across mid day about a week ago and must have been taking supplies in. They say your never more than 10 mtrs from one.

bavarianbrit Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Just did a hack I had been toying with for years to put one of my pump screwdrivers back into action by fitting a bitholder into the head. The old drivers cannot be bought anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Good idea, you could set up in business and make a tidy sum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bavarianbrit Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 I am retired and financially OK so if anyone wants to run with it then be my guest. There are different pump drivers around. Stanley & Millers Falls are the two I have used. Stay safe Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Got me wondering just where my two Stanley versions are stored! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Tying new fishing rigs, sorting through some lures and maintenance of reels. Might tie some flies for Pollock, Cod and Bass fishing in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Well done, at least you took in the spirit it was intended. Considering starting on the bathroom. But am waiting until the weather turns as I am busy gardening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Mowing the lawn with walk behind mower. Best part of 3 (?) miles walking. Ride on went into repair shop on Monday 😖. Yesterday made logs and started to fill store. I have more mowing to do, ditches to clear, sheds to reseal, and clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Started sorting the garage out today, bit of a mess, it probably still will be once this is over but hopefully a more organised mess. Had a plink in the garden, lovely day so it would have been rude not to😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
