 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Thanks Steve.

At the time of that photo I was at 25psi & struggling = main cause of being temporarily immobilised on top of a wheelbarrowful of sand Embarassed . Then dropped to 20 & made reasonable progress.

Reckon I need to go back and have another go Thumbs Up
