Chucking on some part worns to cover me until I get new rubber...

Bit late....but this was Wednesday's worksite. Soaking wet one at that!

WVW
Day late posting but now closer to home. Bang opposite my house doing a garage conversion.
More mileage and Derv saved!

Another late WVW. Not my gaff…!

 

[sparkywig]

Last one for the foreseeable future, had a few job offers so decided on a career change in the New Year.
Now a full on site manager, no need to carry any tools.

no need to carry any tools

Does that signal the end of your T6.1 ownership?

Lucky Man!
Im 55 now and starting to feel the burn!
Doing a bathroom on my own. Full rip out, rewire for spots and fan. Board the ceiling on my own. Plastering today and tomorrow so it can dry over the weekend so I can then paint, fit suite, tile etc….
Would love a job like yours now sparky!!

Probably worthy of a separate thread, but this is going to become increasingly problematic for a lot of people who rely on their strength, flexibility and stamina to do their job. Not wanting to depress you, but you're still 11/12 years off state pension age and, in the not too distant future, retirement age will be increased to 70+.

Anyway, yesterday’s photo of WVW!!

Good Luck in the new role! I came off the tools a year ago, pleased i did but I do have times of missing it!

Tricky one that…If I put the money into a private pension I wouldn’t be able to have an under seat sub woofer

Though, hopefully, you'd be able to afford one once you'd retired.

I’m lucky to have a big house that I can sell as that’s my pension. Sell up and get something in Normandy for a fraction of the price like my mate has just done. Plus my mum and 94 year old Nan are still alive and I’m waiting on my inheritance

Cruising about in a T14 with a sub at 70 does have its appeal

I don’t know tbh. It’s been sitting on the drive since the end of Jan as I get the train/bus which stops near enough directly outside the site.

I have a couple of times, and also the banter I miss now I’m “one of them”.
