spot on
thats where the fortec had just come down from its (summer) upturned waterbutt mount :eek:

even by my lax standards it was a bridge too far


Excellent - another fan of tyre mounts

good effort -close but no cigar

the bonus prize was the Patent CM pallet mount on the shed roof I'm dissapointed no-one spotted it


never moved in all gales over the last two years- mind you it is nailed to the roof:)

are pegs transparent to microwaves ?

Possibly, but the rusty peg springs next to them aren't :eek:

Like you I only have 5 dishes at the rear of my terraced house ...and one of 'em is a 1.8m prime focus ....
...but then there's the 90cm motorised dish on the back of my dads house ...3 doors down ..
..and yes I _do_ have a cable running to it ;)

Not at all - Ive got 6 operational dishes in the garden here :D

And gary's epic viking style saga with his big dish have inspired me to maybe add a seventh. Ive got a decent 80cm dish in store. :D
