I'd pretty much decided that the above method was the route to take and that I'd press gang someone i know to do the wirey bits, I've got a healthy aversion to suddenly turning charred and crispy, have had since not taking a blind bit of notice what I was being taught for a couple of hours every tuesday afternoon at tech at the back end of the 70s. consequently I was happy to embrace the cross union squabbling over what fitters and electricians were allowed to touch of each others jobs..... ie nowt! @Monkeys Fist I reckon it's fucking heavy although I can strip down the guards and swarf container etc first. once I get it homeI've got a two and half ton pallet truck to move it about, it's getting something with the height to get it off a load loader I'm struggling with! @Dr Gloom what the fuck's a kale smoothie?! ps.... @PaddockLad how much should I be paying for one of them magic boxes? they seem to vary from £60 to £300? How did all this go @thebrokendoll?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
