jossey - 27/11/10 at 02:09 PM

So I wake up this morning and it's snowed about 3" and I have a rear wheel drive which doesn't like damp weather never mind the snow/ice

Found a grit bin about 10 mins away up road n needed some grit.....

Ingredients as follows

Nhs storage box.
Alluminium sheet
3 screws
2 meters electrical wire
18" 2x2 wood



Oh and my stupid Bosch 24v drill died :-(

I can now cart my grit to the house with ease.

I even did the old ladies drive next door.
"tokens for heaven entry" :-)

Hope not :-)

You know that grit is for the pavements and roads only dont you?

It's technically theft to load up and use it on private property.

and belive it or not you can get fined for using it like above!

You'd best work on that entry to heaven a bit more! I buy mine in sacks from the local builder's merchant at little cost.

Odd how some councils couldn't do that last year

Dont worry people im using the road outside my house and my drive which is actually a footpath with a dropped kerb

:-) I'm getting in heaven like it or not lol

Ye why the hell can't the council goto jewsons and get grit lol

I had a cool idea with my drive to clear it. I just got a boat load of out of date salt for £10 for crate and I use that class idea.
