It not insured then?

Yes but only a bit of bent frame so no point claiming for that which has straightened not too bad, only 1 piece of plastic split which as been joined together and will be hidden under tray, all the rest of plastic has just popped out of the clips

Not sure this is up to the high level of bodgeineering usually displayed in this thread but here is today's effort

One of the bits of box that support the counterweight on my hiab trailer had broken and fallen off somewhere in the UK

Didn't have any suitable box section so cut a strip of steel from some scrap and heater it up and put a 90 degree twist in it, few holes and we're good to go again

You'll have no problem with a pair of 20' gates then.

and tonight's bodge...
getting ready for a fencing away day tomorrow, no right hand indicator on the IW trailer. power to 7 pin plug, but nothing to the junction box.
Swapped the green wire for the blue at both ends.

Won't need fog lights tomorrow.

Bodged this up this morning to pull some 4ft high wire

Bit of a problem Friday morning, wheat bin auger stopped working, on closer examination the 3.5inch auger tube appears to have seen better days - and the flight had started eating it.

Need the wheat for the mill and mix by Sunday at the latest, auger broken 5 feet under an 18' diameter bin with 58 tonnes of wheat on top of it and no other way of emptying it

The auger and tube is inside that 6 inch galv pipe which is concreted in.

I don know ........................

Solution, home made reamer to widen remains of auger tube allowing me to bang in a replacement pipe, so relieved it worked but took a while to sort out everything, the bin bottom only 4 feet from another wall so not much room for long handled tools

Whilst I was making and using this I promised myself that I would post it here if it was a success as it is the true tradition of bodgeing - that was a piece of 3.5 inch galv pipe until I set about it with the angle grinder and welder.

Bit of head scratching to think of that ...........
I'd hang that up in the workshop, or the bedroom, you decide .......................

Hardly room on the bedroom wall because all the award certificates that I earned there (none lately though)
Already found a niche in the workshop.

Do you mean your award certificates are displayed in the bedroom, or the award certificates have been earned in the bedroom?

The latter of course, not British to display the former.
