Hello,

Just when you thought it was safe.... I,m back de-grouted what a day, grout the floor, emergency plumbing, so Mrs HF can cook (very very important) unload the lorry, that arrived with the insulation board ,for the rebuild of the workshop!!!!!

Then I had to charge over to T20 help him shovel a few ton of crushed concrete for a footing.

Also I have got the maniac roofer here, who seems hell bent on

A, repelling me with hot tar

B, coating me in elastomeric compound , which unlike lily the pink's medicinal compound does bugger all for me.

C, brushing the entire contents of the roof all over my yard, combined with the light early spring showers we seem to be enjoying, produces a fabulous greeney/grey gruel, which bless their cottons, the dogs have tramped all through the house.

 

And now tell me your having a bad week people......

 

 

Anyway on to more interesting things

 

PIG

 

Me and and the finance officer, went and had a look a squirt pig, in very nice condition all complete needing good service and brakes checking/freeing.

Drove it down the road, acceleration measured by old moores almanac.

Jury still out, someone fight the cause for me pro's and con's

Worst thing weight

Best do you need to ask, gold plated fur lined hens tooth!!!!!!!!!

Oh for goodness sake man pull yourself together & get on with it!

 

It is probably the most complete Pig Squirt (other than the one I told you about but that needs a lot of work). All the hard work has been done it has been nicely restored.

 

This is obviously a good point but from an owner satisfaction point of view is, once the novelty has worn off, you have not bonded with the vehicle gone through the sweat & trauma late nights etc bringing it up to spec. Like my Wolf nicely restored but I haven't bonded with cos I didn't do the work. I am just a driver of it rather than a restorer & declined to be judged at a show where I was told I could get a prize! As I saw no point.

 

Anyway apart from that slightly cranky view re sweat/satisfaction ratio. If you get it it will be quite a head turner & curiosity item. You enjoy your Ferret, how many ferrets are there out there? Quite a lot. How many complete & restored Squirts are there out there. AFAIK Just this one. There are some pigs that were Squirts in varying degrees of dismantlement. But if you buy it don't chop out this & take out that it will reduce the value of what it is considerably. Given that you may not keep it for ever.

 

The downside is that you cannot camp & sleep in it & it is purely a display vehicle. But think of the fun & curiosity you would create in the arena on a hot summer's day squirting water out through it. (Perhaps you better not use the irritant dye)
