dropping the bairn off at nursery, wife to work then to go and do some pleading at the bank. you know it makes sense. all will be cool.
and then i need to go and take some measurements and do some calulations... started a job on a 160yo house yesterday which, by 3pm had evolved and expanded (through what we found) to include replacement of 12 floor joists and the inclusion of some structural steel.
which means a lot more work for me, which means a lot more money! which is nice ;-)

What is even better is that we get our end of year bonus this month.(don't worry, I'm not a banker and bonus is performance rated), which means I've had 6 weeks off and have been paid about 10 weeks salary.

the sideways arrows with an s inside them and your strikethrough text here then sideways arrows with /s inside without spaces you get a line through it.

stick an s in a pair of these before your text and /s in another pair of these after it and it will strikethrough the text.

I've never had a problem with axle stands myself, but I still don't trust them for some reason.
Maybe I'm being a bit overcautious, but when I'm working underneath the car on axle stands, I always leave the trolley jack pumped up under one side, and the shite scissor jack from the boot supporting the other side. If I'm feeling extra unlucky, I'll chock up underneath the sills with some wood too.
I've always been slightly nervy of ramps, ever since I saw one of my mate's ramps collapse due to a failed weld.
