Work!

:D:DWe had a Memo at work telling us to do an inventory of the tools in our vans.
I've just found these on my camera,taken by some wag on the site who got into my van knowing I have a camera.:rolleyes:What's the problem?

 

Looks good to me.. I bet you know exactly where everthing is !

 

Bob it's birds! I used to be called back to reputty panes time again. I now use a mix :wink: which hardens within days, plus a dusting of 'something' to deter birds, allowing an undercoat of paint. Once painted the birds tend to keep away however ,there is a family of Sparrows in the garden where I refurbished that greenhouse that hack away at painted putty on one window in particular

 

Bob I never use Linseed putty with DG units. it somehow affects the make up of them and causes them to fail. I bed them in the rebates on low modulus silicone and cap them too with a paintable mastic. In metal or timber frames the same method is used.
BTW,DG units no longer have to be a minium of 24mm thick with the improved treatment to glass coatings the units can once again be made at only 12mm!!

 

Bob, As pal says dg units definately shouldnt be beded on putty only on butyl compound, or silicone.

Pal whats your mix?

The trick i use with fresh putty is to paint it with knotting (shelac) then it can take primer the next day.

 

PRO....don't give too many tricks away mate:wink:.....folk'll be as clever as us and do the work themselves:DYou can see my Knotting in the rack on the right:thumb:

I mix putties,B & L,in quantities to timber frames and B for metal:wink:.

 

It was lovely and bright and ideal to add a coat of Sadolin to this gable this morning..

And an easy afternoon replacing a couple of panes in this..

Both somewhere South of Oxford:wink:

 

Today was interesting....A barn conversion to reglaze

And I met this beauty for lunch:D

 

Now come on, Pal, it's getting pretty boring looking at your workplaces on a regular basis .... but you do have taste in choosing your luncheon partners. :thumb:

 

:lollol:My word she has a body to die for and a face that makes you wish you were:dh:

Right then......anyone into 'Orbs'........I took this through a loft door of the Fire place...there is no glass in the opening and this was the third pic I took inside the building


This was taken straight after in the same room..

 

I actually edited out the rest of my sentence which originally said ... "but you do have taste in choosing your luncheon partners .... from the neck down....!" but I thought that was probably rude ..... :D:D:D

With that whitty bit of repartie, I'm off outside into the fresh air for a wee while ...
.

 

I enjoy seeing them.

 

This little gem is hidden away in an ally in Chipping Campden.....



As areward for a neat job on her windows the customer gave me this,she said it was a Mexican Fushia,such small flowers!...I'm going to have a google

Mmmmm wonder if she meant Microphylla?

 

Just goes to show pal, you dont need a big garden to be a gardener. Ive never seen such a pretty back yard. 02
