A strimmer.

No, it's like a spade but with a sharp semi circle type piece of metal on the end. Edging knife apparently.

Oh yeah. I know what you mean. I've used one but my strimmer head can be rotated to do edges and I find it a lot faster and easier.

I'm OCD about neat lawn edges and have to strim then every time I cut the grass. Hate it when edges get left.

Got the donated strimmer. It's a Bosch one, battery charger with the box and everything. Sweet deal for free.

Looking forward to using the cheap gas powered bbq later when some friends come over. Supposed to get to 22 degrees here later which is pretty nice.

Was a lovely day up here bbq worked brilliant. More food was added to the right side but wasn't pictured. Really happy with the purchase even if it isn't to some peoples tastes, I think it's a real good bbq.

The rocks you're supposed to have under the grilles. You appear to have none.

I hope you didn't put all of that food on the BBQ to make it look like you had friends over ?

As do I. But mine has rocks under the grilles so you actually get some flavour in the food, rather than just cooking it on a gas flame.

Oh mine doesn't. There was plenty of flavour anyway as it was all locally sourced meat.

The lava rocks are normally just there to regulate/spread the heat better on BBQ's with smaller burners

For flavour you can add small chippings of different wood

Very noble of you to support your local farmers Mr Barnes

i need to buy a cover for it this week ideally, will search the net later when I get home from cycling. Making the most of having no work today and the sunshine.

Hoping to get the living room mirror hung up later, posted a few pages back before all the spam posts. Just need to see what type of fixing to the wall would be best to use for it.

Not all gas BBQ need lava rocks, but if i had one i would buy rocks for it, any drippage goes into the rocks then, instead of the metal/gas burners

Nic 100% has cold sausages for work today

Were the people sat in the back of the car in front turning around in their seats to get a look at the 7R?

I get this in the corrado, Dad's pointing it out to their kids, had one old man run into the road shouting "corrado!!!! i used to own one of them" Also kids love the spoiler moving, pulls a crowd at traffic lights.
