Outdoors work and play photos

[DrDalek6]

Took these photos a few weeks ago we were working under a bridge doing some tree felling and litter picking, you know the phrase everything but, the kitchen sink? certainly applied here, loads of bags of rubbish, a mattress, part of a sofa, a trashed TV, what looked like part of a blender plus a squished traffic cone big metal fence and more, bloody flytippers 







Then more recently they joined in for Round 2 trying to fix a flat tryre on the wheelbarrow back at base

"Look this makes a great place to explore" "Come on stop messing about and get out of there they need to put the inner tube back int there before they put the wheel on"

According to the person I was working with this tyre had been repaired about 13 times before, so we removed it once checked for escaping air, put a repair patch on, reattached the tyre to the wheel and pumped it up, guess what another leak this time over where there was already a repair patch  ...

The guys helped to pump it back up



Checking the pump stays connected



"Man this is hard work, phew!" "Come on guys keep pumping we're nearly there"



Checking the pressure



Unfortunately this story doesn't have a happy end, they tyre was still letting put air even after the 3rd repair in a few weeks and at least the 13th in goodness only knows how many years  we decided that looking for more punctures was probably a wasted effort what was needed was to ask our boss to buy a new inner tube  after all we've tried our best I blame all that spiky Hawthorn

Just had the same problem here!  Didn't think to have my little friends help me out with it.  Maybe if I had provided those great scarves, they would have volunteered!  Great photos and story, loved it.

Thanks glad you like the scarves my favourite is the checked one which I made when my old pj trousers developed a big rip at the knee  . you never know if you asked them they might have been eager to help you  although probably not so eager to do the pumping after all it's tiring when you're that small
