We're still deciding what to do about the heating oil tank that was holed by thieves who stole the contents a few weeks ago.
Before we can do anything we have to empty the remaining oil from the existing 2,500l tank... so far we've pumped out 550l & there is still some more left... we filled up all the available containers today...
A large heavy vice was also in need of attention.... this originally had a quick release mechanism, but this had long gone, so I made up a steel strip (the bit diagonally accross the vice near the mounting holes). This effectively keeps the half nut engaged perninantly with the thread byforcing it upwards, which is what the spring in the original quick-release would have done...
