    These things are worth there weight in gold, my lass said there on offer again in Aldi.. think there about £6 my back still gets a lot of hammer from laying footing blocks but these gizmos klick everything back in place no problem. i had two discs replaced bout 15 year ago, opp worked instantly and I was back plastering a week after! don’t let them trim your disks as they’ll rupture again and take a long time to heal and having them fused restricts your movement.

    I got given all that stuff when my back was fcuked… the naproxen made me sick. Codeine works, goes well with a couple of beers? only thing with that is it bungs you up after a few days and I can feel it making me skin crawl when I’m in bed, fine during day though! Just getting over a shoulder opp, worn it out plastering and laying bricks, I didn’t take there pills this time and am just using ibuprofen

    I’m same.. I'm a bricklayer by trade, started losing my head with heights bout 15 year ago.. been on scaffolds that have dropped/ been hit by falklifts, it’s not much fun:( I worked on massive jobs before that and did a few years building huge silos at mad heights and it never bothered me? been doing footings for last 8 years cos I ain’t working at heights no more?

    Not had a microwave for bout 6 years, came home from work to find mine whirring away with the door open? the house stunk like burning electrics so I opens back door and evicted it to back garden… it’s a pain in the arse not havin one. got tempted to get another and read some reviews and saw a few more that were still doing it?

    bit of an extreme example but this is when wall ties rust and lift brick work. like foxdroper said throw some expansion into the mix and it will push the corners out or belly in the middle as all the strength has gone and it just slides on the corses below the failure. been a bricklayer for over 30 years?

    Don’t do it.. they fly super flat but just pass through and keep on going? .177 sub 12 all the way? Bout 10 1/2ftlb is optimum what I’ve found messin with them over the years. I’d put a photo up of what one did running at about 10 1/2 but I’d prob get loads of ? for it nige

    There was a little fat fcuker in town the other day singing her head off, sounded like a cat being strangled! was wearing a lycra rainbow unicorn jump suit? wanted to take a photo but just couldn’t bring myself to do it?

    these are the ones id use though " below"as there a stronger fix.. there are other ways too where you can use threaded bar and resin! when ive done dodgy gables for insurance jobs its usually stipulated about the resin but for standard replacement where the house aint falling to bits these are fine. Mechanical Remedial Wall Ties Box of 100 BSFIXINGS.UK Remedial wall ties can be used where existing cavity walls are without ties, or when the original ties have perished and are unable to perform their primary...

    if its not lifting the brickwork dont bother and just drill new holes at the measurements above! but if you need to find the ties a metal detector. it is an easy job to do yourself but there are specific ways around windows and doors as there every 225mm high and 100mm away from the masonry edge.

    Sometimes they rust and lift the brick work… you have to chop the mortar out knock them back and re-point! there are replacements that you drill through the first skin of brickwork, through the cavity and half way into your house internal wall… you hammer them in. you can work out how many you need by every 900mm length ways and 450mm high

    Glad they didn’t have them when I was younger and drove like a Cnut, I’d of been permanently band? bet they don’t catch may now with the price of fuel, I’m 50mph everywhere now?

    I live in north York’s and there are no fixed cameras just loads of mobile cash cows! but that’s not enough for them, saw the local countryside cop struggling to set his speed camera up on the 4x4 tail gate yesterday? times must be hard
