I was having a few beers with the next door neighbour in his back garden when one of the kids came running out shouting "The house is flooding"
This is what I saw when when I went in
.
Had something a bit like that around 30 years ago. Got back to my parent's house having had a few beers - and they asked why the light was a dull orange with a funny zippy-fizzy sound. It too was a glass fitting and almost full of water. Miracle it didn't fall off the ceiling it was so heavy - as I found out when I lifted it off. And my parents had been sitting underneath it wondering why it wasn't working quite right.
Then found that the cold water tank was pouring out in the loft...

Caution, expert at work :-)
Site Manager at the school where I work went to repair a 2D fitting which was not working. Light switch was off, but when he opened the fitting water poured out, giving him and the person holding the (aluminium) ladder a shock. This was due to a poorly designed valley between 2 pitched rooves filling up with leaves and the water overflowing the flashing.

Yup that was quite funny!

You did that on purpose, didn't you ...
Is this the fella with the drive?
Yes.
Did he really flatten that whole area with a bricklaying trowel?
Do what on purpose, flood his house out?
Although the odds of a f*ck up were quite high considering the booze and the stupid circular perspex fitting that you have squeeze into a funny shape to fit or remove.
Well that was what made me ask ;-)
(looks like someone found a float/plastering trowel toward the end)
Looks like he needs a few rolls of "do not use" tape around the (whole) house :) Bloody funny though.
Looks like that could be worth 250 quid on YBF.

I have just realised that it is MY wheelbarrow they are using!
And yes he did 95% of the drive with a brick trowel.
It'll need reshooting. I didn't see a clear view of the one with the baseball cap copping it.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "ARWadsworth" saying something like:
He might do some daft things (and don't we all), but there's no denying he's keen.
He's keen.
He built a chicken run yesterday evening armed only with a rusty saw, a bent hammer, a screwdriver set, some old fence panels and some plastic mesh.
What do you think of it?
And a Paper Stapler!!
