I was braying a large screwdriver in the gap on side, pry bar on the other, it was stuck solid. After 2 hours I went and saw a neighbour and borrowed his blowtorch, that wouldn't shift it either,so we ended up having to cut it off with angle grinder. Then had to shape the mouth of the rear section again after it had the hell brayed out of it, finally finished about 8.50 ,after starting the job at 5.30.



After I had finished, you would think I had been down a pit for a month! Black? If i was any blacker, I would have blended in to the coal face,took an hour in the bath to scrub the crud off.

The muck was ingrained in my eyes, and After all that wishing ,i look like I've been in a fight. The van I was wanting to view as a replacement has been sold, so back to the searching. Will need to get to bed sharp tonight as I have to tidy the mess outside in the morning.

Those little Jobs are always the longest Richards lol 😁😁😁
