Re: Do you have any relatives in the US?
Nope. There was an accident with the furnace fire. It heated his unit.
It was kept as coals 24/7 because it took most of the day to get going.
He used logs to burn. A log that wasn't as far down as he thought=20
cracked and spat a chunk out onto a car seat that was out while the=20
floor pan was being repaired. He was at home and got a call from a=20
customer at the snooker club across the road. By the time he got there=20
it was too far ablaze to do anything with. And the most reasonable=20
priced, hardest workest, and honest welder I know lost everything he=20
had. I've know a few cowboys, and I've known some guys who will do spot=20
on jobs but charge the earth. Mick did strong jobs. Not always pretty=20
but if that wasn't visible it didn't matter. And he always cut back to=20
good metal and he always told you if anything else was needing doing and=20
he always added back to hidden braces/webs if they had corroded too.=20
Even if it made more work for him and he had quoted to fix it without=20
the extra. He would stick a bit more on, but not enough for the extra=20
time.
When a =A350 job became nearly all evening from 5PM until 11pm (he worked=
=20
all day and wpuld stay open for punter out of normal hours), because he=20
found a structural internal section gone too, instead a simple buttweld=20
outer sill patch, the job only went to =A370 for 6 hours work.
I really hope he got things sorted with a new unit somewhere.

Re: Do you have any relatives in the US?
I'm fine ATM, the Octi is good for a few years yet, bless VW and their
anti corrosion promises. I'll have sold it and bought some unsuitable by
the time it needs sorting out.
But who is it anyway?

My tame welder.
E-mither or ring me and I'll pass on his details. If I post his details on
'ere I'll be stuck in the queue behind half of usenet.
He's basically the Anti-Ken.
