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

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
