Anyone know where I put the paint burning head of me Propane gas torch?

Arrrrgh! ain't it a bitch when you misplace something.

Normally I'm careful about putting tools and attachments down or away to
alleviate this sort frustration.

No kind remarks of...ain't your arse sore yet. :-P

I love to be organised and, conversely, hate being disorganised. One of the
very few things which really annoys me is not being able to organise things
properly, usually due to the lack of space. I dream of owning an enormous,
gleaming workshop with more space than I could possibly use, although I
doubt there's one that large.

Si - With no idea where George put his paint burner. Probably somewhere
safe.

Hah! you'd be happy with the utility roo at the back of this house then,its
not big but enough room for workshop tools and ample walking space.
Thing is its full of wood and stuff and all me tools are in the spare back
room upstairs. lol

SAFE ya say, some floorboards will have come up in the bathroom later if it
doesn't surface in places where I might think it is? last use the torch had
was in the bathroom soldering a reroute of a water pipe. :-(

I don't know where it is, but if you buy a replacement, the old one will
appear 5 minutes later.

Well when I can't find something the SO has usually put it in one of our
least used cupboards in a dusty corner so the place looks tidier (I was
missing my multimeter and a camera battery, I had been looking for them for
months and stumbled upon them last week).

I'll have a look for you

It's in the little bedroom under the same pile of clothes where I found
my missing jacket.

Management, as in my case, will claim no knowledge...

Worse still when the pabx that (also) runs the doorphones goes phut, you
order a new one, and the time the man in the van arrives with it, SWMBO
has taken the canine door alarms on a constitutional. Grrr!

Still we have had 3 smashing kittens arrive over the last 24 hours, so
if anyone fancies some little grey tigers (its different color every
time with HER) in a couple of months..

No, the pencil wins hands down, unless you have the sort of ears that
holds them in place. I haven't, so being a chippy has never been an option.

Oh how true! I had a really useful 'Shark' 250mm pry bar, fantastic for
getting embedded nails out & prying in general. Couldn't find it, emptied
the van out - no trace & the bugger cost me £16 (and worth every penny).

In my local B&Q warehouse I spotted one in the clearance bin reduced to £8 &
bought it straight away. Opened the toolbag to pur it securely away - and
there was the original. Still, you can't have too many pry bars can
you.....

Not just me then? Oh good. I buy the tubs of 50 in Staples & they last
about 8 weeks.

Are pencils related to socks?

I recall a post on rec.woodworking... the bloke had 2 gross of pencils
for a Christmas present every year.

He'd get the boxes, go to his workshop (double garage sized shed), stand
at the door and throw handfuls in every direction.

By the time next Christmas rolled around it was just getting tricky to
find a pencil when he needed one...

Heh.

A year, maybe 18 months ago I 'lost' a good pair of water pump pliers.
Hunted high and low, couldn't find them anywhere and eventually resigned
myself to their loss..... Could have done with them a few times too.

Then, a month or so back, I was sorting a squeaky floorboard that went
under a partition wall, so needed to pull up the carpet in the next
room. That meant moving a 5-drawer chest of drawers...

You'll never guess what I found in the space below the bottom drawer?
Yup, my water pump pliers! How they got under there I'll never know....

I lost my bestest stanley knife there. A year later I got fed up with using
inferior ones and bought a new one for a job in the loft. That's where I
found the old one, below where I'd been working.

There should be a good market for stanley knives on Ebay.


Given the track record reported so far, they'd get lost in the post!

Well I've searched high and low for it,the back room is now a tip,tools,box
contents all over the place...twas nice and clean before I went rummaging
and now I have a daunting task of making it presentable again.

Arrrrrgh! just for the sake of a bloody burner head which I really need over
the weekend,I don't think I can buy an adaptor head for this torch? as it
came as a Clarke Kit.

She said - why do men always hoard so much junk..looking at the room
contents.

Bless em! they don't understand.

You must be further wests..we sat outside yesterday, had a lovely lunch,

Yesterday - beautiful.

Today - starts quite nice. I go up aluminium ladder to clean down
windows frames etc. and in no time thunder, lightning, rain. IMO not
best idea for me to stay up there. But it is quite pleasantly warm -
around 14 C.
