So How Was Your Day?

[Time's Ran Out]

Finished a bathroom, sent the customer a picture and within half an hour the money was in my account!

 

[GoneGuy]

Been a relaxing day today, taken my son to a soft play centre to burn off some energy.
Is anyone else itching to get back to work or is it just me

 

[Time's Ran Out]

On route to the job the snow was just starting, by lunch it was deep, and by home time settled but passable. Picturesque and pleasant.

Today I tried a Rubi TZ. Pretty robust machine, but the breaker system??? YUK! Its like a rachet. You have to give the handle two flicks upwards to drop the breaker and flick it again to bring the scoring wheel back down. I was trying it on a bench and unless you pull the whole system towards you, you need bit of reach required for it to work and you still question yourself as to whether you have it in the right position or not. They've had an idea to speed up the cutting process by trying to shave of a second or two per cut, but in practice, its failed and made it take longer. Very expensive and that breaker system if it goes wrong will cost a very pretty penny or two. Maybe I just need to get used to it, but as it stands, No Likey!

It's some added protection for the forum's as we have been having spam issues on some others the past few weeks.

Nobody likes jam squishing out of their doughnut do they!!??

And it turns out I have scoliosis of the spine too which more than likely has worsened over the past 4 months.

you look like the wreck of the Titanic.....

Here I am feeling sorry for myself because of a sore elbow!
Got a steroid shot booked for Monday so will hopefully be work ready the week after.
Feel for you bud and hope it gets sorted asap.
You any idea when the surgery will happen?
How long a recovery is needed before your ripping bathrooms out again?

 

[macten]

On the bright side








your kidneys look mint

 

[Qwerty]

Haha! The surgeon said the same thing. That and what discs aren't screwed are very healthy! Sadly the scan did reveal I have scoliosis.... curvature of the lower spine. Great!

6-8 weeks for surgery if it is needed. A month or two recovery. Going to be a while yet sadly.

 

[macten]

You're gonna need a hobby!
Scoliosis is more common than most people think - probably makes you more susceptible to the bust discs though with all the heavy lifting you do.

 

[WetSaw]

Well that didn't go as planned. Was hoping to get signed off by my oncologist today as it's 5 years since I had my radiotherapy but my last scan showed stuff that is growing and needs monitoring so I'm back to quarterly scans.

 

[LM]

Good luck with it Paul.

 

[Qwerty]

Sorry to hear that mate

 

[Blunt Tool]

Hope it’s all going to be ok Paul!

 

[WetSaw]

Thanks guys. It's nothing scary, the type of cancer I have is indolent ( very slow growing ) it's just that I thought I was done with it. At least they're quick to keep on top of it here and I'll be closely monitored.

 

[Andy Allen]

Good luck mate...
