I made a wooden trolly!!!

[Flips]

yesterday I made a wooden trolly out of an old pallet. armed with the full works of painkillers, of Paracetamol, Naproxin and Tramadol, I set to it. Boy did I enjoy myself!! pulling out nails, hammering and screwing nails...oh no hang on I cheated on that bit, my Brother-in-law happened to come and drop some stuff off for me so I roped him into that bit hehehe my poor wrists dont like screwing!! (get your minds out of the gutter ladies ) it has four casters but I havent decided on what kind of handle to put on yet.

Best thing is it works and is strong too! The purpose of such a project? well as we all know most of us Fibro inflicted souls (as well as other people too) have bad backs, and can not lift any heavy objects, or at least can but shouldn't! SO This is why I made it. I'm a keen gardenewr, well potter haha and compost and big filled plantpots are too heavy to carry around my huge garden and to buy in the shops they are just too expensive to and been on ESA is imposible to find the £100 or so. HOWEVER......theres always another price to pay....................P A I N ! ! !

oh my poor body knew about it! but more drugs later and a good old rest, I manages a fitful sleep most of the night rather stiff this morning but well pleased with my acheivements xxx Think I need some more drugs!! be right back! xxxx

Thanks, yeh I'm hoping it proves useful. Now all I need is a flat lawn! no chance with kids, dogs and hens!! hahah

Word of warning............keep taking the pills if your going to try this or similar, I went over time taking mine and I knew about it tell ya! x

Morning flips,

I would love to be able to make things, i am usless at diy, arty stuff.

Plus my hands are useless lol.

You should put a pic up so we can all see your good work.

I would feel chuffed with myself if made something like that.

Hope you dont suffer to much today.
