Or go the way of champions.
If the pumps the only thing stopping you getting a ticket then wham a fucking mechanical Bosch pump on it. No more problems.

Ooh, er, does it have the mechanical throw stop arm on the side of the pump?

:!: :!: Tell you what Bandit, get him to make a list of all the things he`s done, (Work his arm if necessary) Then a list of what`s left. It looks good when you do that 8)

Anyway What he`s done must be right.... because it`s what`s left is not right :wink:

ho hum.........

ive already got receipts for about £1500 on this shed

and me thinks a lot more needs to be spent

but its never been about the money.....

but then, how much do you pour in?????

and in chewing the fat , which id admit ive got a lot of,

id score myself high for effort but 10/10 for ignorance in buying such a shed to begin with

and fine people i could still buy another xm, probably better, with the money id have to put into this shed to get it half decent

and me enthusiasm has waned a bit as well cause ive got problems at home......

so i dunno what im gonna do

Ok, so give us a list of everything that still needs to be done, it might not be as bad is looks right now mate.
A problem shared is a problem, er, shared.
A friend in need is a bloody nuisance and all that.
And even if we cant come up with any cheap solutions, at least we can all have a laugh about it down the pub!
