Oops.

When I arrived home after my epic 450 mile drive on Monday, I destroyed plastic down pipe after making contact with MH against hot tub room wall. On checking offside rear everything looked fine with MH. I didn’t look down far enough, noticed this, this afternoon. Oh well, anyone know a decent welder ?

Try yellow pages
Or Red Faces.

I assume you know someone local and reliable !

I am quite handy with superglue.

Not the first time I have bent metal, except this one was not meant

You couldn’t get that wee van in that massive driveway you want to give it up.

Slow tonight mate, I’ve been waiting for this one

 

[runnach]

Been washing MH and got a better look at my metal bending skills, looks like 22.5 degree to me

I’ll remove from MH and repair, just in case earth return lead screws up MH electrics.

Nah polyfilla, bacofoil and gaffer tape and hammerite black (smooth) !
Cheap van cheap repair !
Maybe go upmarket with angle iron and superglue or rivets

If you use them ...
You bruise them..!

Typical mare to remove with seized up fastenings, time to give the bar much needed tlc and refit.

The age where getting one's nuts off because of seizure becomes evident; the coronary ward has and endless supply of such cases, that a quick squirt of Plusgas will not cure ...

All welded up, and now ready to sand it back to clean metal for painting

I’m pleased you stuck with the word welder

Naw, that was Billy Connolly . 'There was a welder, a shipyard welder, he welded all the day, in places far away; on TA duty, he caught a beauty, in those green hills far away' ...

Retirement means, inter alia, knowing that, as long as you still have a pulse in the morning, your income is guaranteed for a further day ... And the chores such as babysitting for the offsprings's offspring can be avoided by booking 3 months trips to foreign climes ...

True but the offspring still get cross with us when we go away!

 

[runnach]

Oh well, we will do face time and they can always fly out to where ever we are, they have 159 days to work it out.

We just tell the kids that we leave on date x and should be back around date y, so don't make any plans for us. They know where we are if they need us, and vice versa

There is a powerful incentive for them not to bother us. They know that I will show them the holiday photos; can, and does, take hours ...
