Hoarding gear .

[Evans Electric]

Talking about hoarding gear , the one man builder who lives opposite me dumps a load of stuff  weekly  .  He works from home and doesn't have the room  , reckons he'd be overloaded with timber , cement , etc .   It has to go & start fresh for the next job  unless he knows he will use it very shortly .

I have A LOT of stuff. I used to keep everything, and found a use for a lot of it but then realised it was getting out of hand. I now chuck anything that is not a full length, I was overrun with odd pieces of trunking (just about every make/size/colour of PVC mini-trunking was in my garage somewhere). Nowadays I try to get rid of stuff and then buy more stuff I don't need to replace it.

The new maintenance supervisor was full of big plans of "gutting out" the electrical office/store. He is a fitter and totally rearranged the fitter's workshop. Seeing as I now make up 100% of the electrical department's workforce, I told him that what was in my office was nobody's business but mine. Too anyone else it is a mess, to me everything is in its place.

Deke. Get yourself a wood burning stove and then take all your neighbours spare timber. Kiln dried construction timber is "ready for the stove"

I NEVER throw timber away, I either make something out of it, or or goes on the stove.

We seem to be lucky up here as they are not particularly fussy at the local tip recycling centre.  Just this week I took one of those big 1 ton builders bags stuffed with building rubbish (shoved in the back of my Landrover) down to the tip, expecting to have to justify where it came from etc.  He just politely directed me to the "landfill" skip for it.

Did I ever mention the "one car 1 bag" argument my BIL had when he turned up at the tip with a 1 ton bag full of garden waste....

Favourite trick of the local,scrotes/pykies around here. There is a F quiet country lane ( short cut to motorway)

1 ton bag on pickup or boot of 4x4

tie bag to fence post

drive off

caught me out a couple of times very early morning....suddenly there is a ton of sh'ite in the road in a bag which has to be gently nudged to the side

They fly tip round here up against the "No Fly Tipping" signs!

They do that with IBC's out of the back of berlingo vans around my way.

When I built my darkroom I had to empty the loft. That filled two skips, the wife then wanted the shed “sorting out”, another two skips.

At work I commandeered a redundant substation. At the time we were upgrading three of the plants, anything that could be useful I squirreled away.

As for my office, H&S classified it a fire risk. Mountains of drawings on every flat surface with sat in the middle with a cigarette. (I only set fire to the waste bin twice)

I've taken to keeping the door of my office locked. Although the motors and hilmore bender lying outside the door is starting to draw attention.

Well give 'em a key so they can be more discreet? :C
