Last week I was doing some decking in a back yard Area, when I ran short on screws, so I thought I would nip out to get some more.

"I will only be five minutes"... I said to myself (looking up at a slightly cloudy sky) so I shut up the yard door & off I went

Anyway I got the forementioned screws, got in the jeep & set off back. I only had literally 2minutes to go before I got back when the heavens opened

This would not be a problem in it's self If I hadn't ALL of my electric tools still outside!! luckily I had at least switched off the power

No wonder anyone with any sense buggers off to spain :laugh:

I don't normally but this yard has an eight foot wall with a lockable door, plus the house was occupied , as I say literally half a mile down the road, but that is probs the time the bstds would sting you

You'll have to get the blow heater on them.

well I dont think any /much water actually got inside but I gave them a wide birth for a while A couple of days in the boiler room seems to have done the trick

i had a reciprocating saw pinched from a back garden while i was working inside the garage,actually saw the little so and so crawling backwards through the hedge with it
when the police arrived (2 days later)
they said "its marsh farm,what do you expect?"

I know, there really are some cheeky barstools out there, one of our local farmers caught some pushing one his old cars up his drive in the middle of the night the thing was about 20 yrs old & hadn't run in years !... unbelievable
