fatpixi Posted August 29, 2011 Share oh, that was you. Yes, saw the drop and cheered! You should have seen his eyes when he got to the end of the bridge!! It is the first time anyone has walked over shook my hand, gave a pat on the back and a good 'ol fashioned squeeze! He must be extremely happy to still be alive! It was such a close call. That bridge, just for everyone's info, is going to be rebuilt from the entry (about 5m back from where it currently starts) and run right through to the junction to join the loop. We've sourced the wood and a new paint-on, mould resistant grip substrate. The project is expected to last 4 days but will be for the week. Anyone with a flexible job is welcome to join, no pressure obviously. Expect the bridge to be closed for that time.. spread the word.hey PoS, i'm keen to help out with the bridge build, got 2 cordless drills and if we can get a generator up i have a circular saw and jigsaw,i am self employed so i'm fairly flexible time-wise during the week...

Spose you have bags of lime lying around as well. Any missing people in your hood? Edited August 30, 2011 by Chubba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 30, 2011 Share Concerning that you have so many power tools! Spose you have bags of lime lying around as well. Any missing people in your hood? Lime? Me? Dude - I can't be without my power tools... If you think I'm bad, you should see my grandfather's workshop. I could work in there for all of time and not want for a thing (okay, maybe a beer every now and again, brought to me by the wife) He is seriously kitted out. Li-Ion everything (drill, jigsaw, screwdriver, mouse sander) old (proper) Ryobi radial arm saw, 300mm planer/thicknesser, 300mm jointer, any kind of spoke-shave you could think of, 500mm band-saw, any kind of plane you could think of, normal circular saw, whole wall full of gedore and stahlwille spanners & screwdrivers... the list goes on. He literally made every piece of furniture in my parents' house, except 2. One of those 2 is mine, the other is my dad's. And I'm the only one in the family that hasn't placed orders (read - demands for furniture) with him, and has shown an interest in carrying on with the legacy. Suffice to say, those tools have pretty much been earmarked for me, by him. And he told me. Edited August 30, 2011 by cptmayhem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, that was fun to watch. There was (more than a moment) of self-castigation, but then it passed like yesterday's kidney stone.
