    got them tonight.

    He emailed and said you might need a van, my poor little Mondeo was stuffed to the roof.

    Him:
    Oh I forgot to list this - Makita Router - Kerching.
    You want this - nice wood vice.
    This is yours - belt sander
    what are these? - clip on straight edges for sheets.£24 each * 4.
    Oh would you like these - 2 * 6 foot of 4 inch Oak, 8ft of 4" * 1" lime and assorted hardwood offcuts.
    These any good ? 20m of 100mm dust evac hose.

    I did get a bit excited when he started pulling out bits of a really big Dewalt table saw unfortunately that wasn't there. Could have sold that for a few hundred.

    even took the rack it was all stored on.
    I felt like a locust!

    very happy bunny.

    serious result, almost as good as my 500 yellow stocks for £50 which turned out to be 2,500+ (about £3,500 worth).

    now I just need 40m2 of Indian sandstone delivered for £0.99 and an eType for £50.

    Was thinking of an outside office but may go with a garage conversion.
    The server Nerdalize will keep you warm.

    You do want a server don't you?
