heating

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

I have added the smallest one of them
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Just as well you own a JCB as making a hole big enough to do what you are looking for may take a little while with just a spade.

Saying that with the French attitude to work it will take several years even with a JCB ;)

Rich, it's not size of the bone that counts, it's what you do with it.

these have been in the ground for quite a while.... seems a bit odd to bury cow bones in a 6x2 foot trench

I see the forewoman is there making sure you do a half decent job. damn builders, always taking short cuts and doing half a job then leaving..... ;)

just a quick update.... the chaps arrived & promptly left again as the bottom of the trench wasnt flat enough or level.... wish they had told me that before i started, when i asked for specification from the rep he said between 60cm & 1 metre deep...so i spent 2 days with the machine & level giving a slight fall of 4mm/metre to reduce the risk of air bubbles in the pipes etc.. when they finally came back it was painfully slow as the main plumber was called away on other jobs.. when wifey gave the salesman a bit of an earfull they finally got the system running on friday before christmas... 1 hour before we left for blighty.. we had endured -6 c for about 3 weeks so we had only the fire to keep the house warm but our bedroom was only around +12 c... when we came back the house is nice & warm, although its still not finished & the guys wont be back for a while.....i cant even get to finish backfilling the trenches as its just a bit wet....


ive always said never let a frenchman work on your house.....
