You were definatley lucky it didn't wash it out.
Hi Pete.........Yeah didn't it just, I had a nice lie in and then almost went to work, but I thought I would leave it for a bit longer and I'm glad I did cos it chucked it down big time and would of ruined all me work. Went to work about 11 ish and had a good day, knocked off about 5 and at about 6 ish it chucked it down again..........result

You know your wet when the crutch of your trousers are soaked.(dont just dont)
I'll keep you informed on the land Im sorting as well for meets.
Working inside a soon to be nightclub for a bit so I don't get rained off at the moment.
Still the works alright and the lads are a laugh so I don't mind it.

me and the lads started tamping a concrete slab on a double garage, and the weather was fine, until we did the last fine tamp, then it peed it down
we have been on and off all last week in dorset with the weather, but we can't go home (site agent a miserable git )
oh to be a builder

It's alright for some, we don't generally get rained off
I had to climb and reduce a Robinia tree in that downpour yesterday fortunately we have good waterproofs for working in :umbrella:

Have your waterproofs got a lot of holes in now, cause them robinia trees have got nasty spikes ......Lovely trees though, is the wood any good for anything
Jon Pickett said:
The waterproofs I have are special tear resistant ones designed for tree work so they aren't too bad. But it usually isn't proper trees that put holes in waterproofs but particularly with the trousers it is hedges such as Hawthorn :yikes: and conifer when we climb along the top to reduce them that do it.
The wood is reckoned to be almost as good as Ash for firewood and the grain is quite attractive finishing to a dark yellow colour. The wood from mature trees sometimes features large burrs
Here are some pictures of stuff my woodturning father has made from Robinia burr that I have got from work

It's not a nightclub yet, we have to make it into one, the only bog is one of those bleedin Tardis things that stinks to high heaven
Rained off again. Thank heavens for BCUK or I'd be really bored
Trouble is don't get an income from BCUK and if it keeps raining I'll be skint
