Sods Law
« on: June 05, 2019, 01:29:25 PM »
Having shaken my arms off derusting and sealing the CB200 tank, the tumble dryer has packed up.
Coin stats and door NTC replaced + heating elements tested - all good, drum turns on the motor,  just no heat.
I could have stuck my tank in, in a duvet and pressed a button! Dare I ask whether there are any other uses to warrant me keeping it?

Aye Brendon,

I have a washing machine drum back, as a large chimmney cowl over my house chimmney pot, keeps the rain a jackdaws out, whilst preventing down draughts and it has lasted well when compared with the aluminium ones that either melt or disintergrate due to the acidity of the smoke!  ;)  Galvanised steel ones are no better either, the stainless steel back of the drum is the way to go.  ;D

They also make flashy planters for bedding plants or you can stack them to make retaining walls like gabion baskets.

Toodle pip, Bill

Using an old one as a firepit this afternoon, with a tripod over for cooking.  Very useful things.

Get that woman from the Money For Nothing TV programme to turn it into a lamp and sell it to a trendy hipster for £500.

Use it as the world's crappest fish tank.

Tell grandchildren it leads to 21st century Narnia and have a quiet day.

Hope this helps.
