craftyhunnypie Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 All the way to Yorkshire & came home with..... ... ... ... A cherry picker called Norris! It's one of those lift things that workmen use to change bulbs in street lamps & it's huge! It's hubby's new toy & he's wanted one for years. I got a Wii as part of the bargain!

craftyhunnypie Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Ahhh well, we pulled into a car park on the way home - so I could pop Asda for a wee. We took up 2 spaces - naughty us & I just so had my camera on me. I'll ask hubby to send me the piccy. It's for pointing our chimney, doing the guttering, painting the house, cutting the trees & will prove very useful on our smallholding in a few years.

craftyhunnypie Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) It will match your Docker boots Cathy! It goes up 9.5 metres (31 feet) & out 3 metres! Erm, it's in our back garden. Emma.x Edited January 31, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Brilliant purchase - we had a loan of one and used it to paint the soffits round the gutters and I was duly harnessed on and found I could not let go to hold paint tin and brush - could only do one of them - heights are therefore not my forte!

chick wiggle Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Norris is Brilliant. A very practical purchase i think. Very useful for the outside xmas lights as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Ah, I see *wants* Would be useful for school, we have a scaff tower which we have to use to adjust all the stage lights, thats uber-wobbly and I'm the only one not scared of heights that'll go up it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 He's wonderful, but I don't think I could be persuaded to go up in him. I discovered vertigo halfway up the little stairs that go up to the top of the St Pauls dome . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hubby's next want is a chainsaw! He's also been looking at tug trucks by Linde. What next? I know we are purveyors of fine junk, but I wonder where it will end? What a tolerant wifey I am. Anyway, I'm sure my Wii will prove just as useful. I shall have to go up in Norris a bit at a time, until I feel confident - I can't wait to try him out. He is rather monsterous in our garden - ho hum.

henriette Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'm having to hide this thread from my loved one He would definitely like Norris. I wouldn't mind if we had one either. At the moment we just have a super long ladder for cleaning out the gutters and replacing outside lightbulbs (which are incredibly high) and I am always terrified that there will be an awful accident Anyway, I think you are safe against anyone stealing him - not easy to camouflage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Well we've not been up in him yet - it will probably be weekend now before we do any bungy jumping. (joke) Are all men the same? Do they all love gadgets & machinery? I've laughed about the cement mixer & the steam roller! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
