Basmati

[Peripatetic Phil]

Hey there Phil , it's not the lifting you got to worry about it's the manoeuvring the thing why trying to hang on to it!!!  Good luck

If it's a clean lift, without partial support on one side, I would no longer take a chance, due to the high risk of serious back trouble. When I was 30, no problem, but those days are gone. My arms could still lift it, and more, but my back is now the weak point. Take care.

Thanks, chaps.  I am sincerely hoping that the vendor will help me get it into the car; I can manage my 14" one by myself, but a 17" one may prove more than the back can take unaided ...

That's what I like about this forum started off debating rice now lawn mower lifting without getting banned ;D

Phil make a ramp out of some planks of wood and drag/drive it up. Ive done that before

As far as the rice thing goes, I have only had a problem with Asdas basmati rice. Cant see much difference in the other brands that I have tried. I have been told too that tilda is the best, but I cant tell much difference - if any to be honest

Regards

Hi all as regards rice I can't get on with, then it's Aldi rice for me! I find it a waste of time, needs washing forever and never cooks good for me.

Good idea. I used that approach to transport a metal box weighing about 130kg. I used a plank to push the object up a plank and on to the back seat of my car.

George it's much easier if you just remove the body from the box first.  ;D

And my hopes were fully justified.  Not only was he a very helpful and friendly Ebay vendor, he even thought to mention he had a spare (bran(d) new) scarifier cassette he was planning to list, so I bought it on the spot for

Excellent result Phil, a good day all round then. Is your back ok ?
