hi guys

yes im still gutted i gotta find time to strip it down later see what i can salvage but even the screws are corroded in

i managed to get some limited use out of it at the cleints house yesterday and found flukes but its a damn nuisance

i was talking to pol we both knew it was there but neither of us thought of it

so i gotta clear a space on my desk for the big strip it cost to much money to simply write off but that will have to wait till later gotta go get the chickens sorted and get some food for them
