At the weekends I have been busying myself (and press-ganged conscripts, aka wife and kids) with scraping the moss and earth out of the joints on the block paving and then scrubbing the area clean. 4 years we've lived here and I'd always thought the bricks were light grey. Turns out they're a beige / sandy colour. I've just sprayed all my blocks with Sodium hypochlorite, the green just disappeared, sorted all the algae on my garage rendering instantly too. (Still needed to brush out the moss in the block gaps with my cheap Aldi special brush.) 2

deltamal Posted March 30, 2020 Report Posted March 30, 2020 I still have my factory open as we have been designated key suppliers, manufacturing main frame computer cabinets, needed around the world their use has been diverted for new build hospitals and and resurch centres, we also supply the worlds railways with vairous hardware that fixes the signaling frames in-track, supplied to vairous locations in Europe, the States and Australia, we are observing the 2 metre rule and staggering tea breaks and start/stop times, hand wash reminders and anti bac gel, not good but hopefully it will not be for too many months...... 1

I can do exempt tax for the first time this April. However, reading up on how to apply, it says the first time has to be done in a Post Office. After that you can do it online. I think I might have to travel to Merthyr to do that as our village Post Office is only a Sub. I have a letter off the MOD to travel in my car for work purposes, but I think that would be kicking the backside out of it a bit if I got stopped and produced that😂😂😂

The hands and knees phase with a scraper in the joints is back breaking but I have one of this rotary pressure washer attachments and combined with some stone cleaner and sealer, it works wonders as a second stage.

My Aldi wire brush and scraper is on a brush handle, much easier. The garage needed doing, but once I started I got carried, away my blocks were not bad, just dirty, they came up like new. I did the patio, which put the drive to shame so I had to do the drive. Although it didn't shift the Showroom Shine spotting where the trigger dripped!
colr6 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Posted March 31, 2020 How is it when you get any spare time it’s always consumed by power wash the bloody drive !! Got my patio done lol. Seeing as we can’t get any builders, started building my own garage Yes another one. Got the trowel out and some lines crack on. Been looking through some old paperwork and found an old pic. What do you do with 16 sport back in the days of normality 🤭 Oh yes knock the windows out and strip the interior, drop a 1700 twin cam in it and blast it round a field...lol 3

If they find out your setting traps they send the boys round to crush you. 1
