Max is back!!! (1 Viewer)

[yodeli]

Well done Now the best Maintenance is to drive him regularly, the odd weekend, Our daughter has taken our Ducky to Narbonne for a long weekend, it does it more good than being parked up.

Ps, don't forget the wild-mint

Thing is I have NO week ends!!!!!! It is the main problem!
I'm the warden of the stadium I'm living on, and as such, I am on duty every week end!

Sometimes they are tournaments or competitions free, but I don't know it till the last minute AND I have the possibility to have ONE week end off /month IF I ask one month ahead! !
So it is just hell to go away!

I can only do a few miles if matches end early enough!

How about 'Fit For Purpose' Frankie!

That's the one!

Glad Max is back in the land of the living. Wish you were closer as you could park him here with us.

Have a great Christmas.

Hi Frankie.. We too park our van on grass at the top of our garden and its surrounded by fields, so PLENTY of "wildlife" wandering around... SO, with that in mind, I have purchased an Ultrasonic Rodent Repeller... It is German and made by KEMO. Model No :- M100N.. It is designed for protection agains Pine martens ((Marder)) and is 12 volt... It has a powerful hemisperical speaker which emits the ultrasonic waves at 140 degrees around the whole 360 degree area.. It has an acoustic pressure of 110 decibels and will keep working between minus 25 degrees and plus 80degrees.. So I wired mine into a spare cigarette socket which is live without the ignition being 'on'.. The unit is only about 75mm by 50mm and 28mm deep.. and very light, so I put it on top of the blackout screen which covers the Heki roof light in the centre of the van, facing downwards toward the ground.. this way it should cover the whole van.... It only cost £11.99p plus postage, so I figured it was worth a go..
So far so good !!! In case you are worried about battery drain, it only draws 2 MilliAmps..
It comes with a 500MilliAmp fuse...
It is possible to buy much larger ones and also 240volt ones, but I think, if it designed to work for Pine martens, it will scare away mice and rats !!!
Sorry this is such a long "waffle", but it is best to give it all at once and I know how terrible it is to be "invaded" by these creatures !!!
Glad you have your van back.. Enjoy... Mitch...

Surely a person with your bubbly personality, your language skills can do better than this. Sit down, ask "do I want a better life ?".

Don't Just Let It Happen.

Brian , having language skills is not enough! You need certificates and things .... and among all the very skilled people , much younger than me (yes yes!!) , the unemployment, It's not that easy!
I have my own business, "Baby's Clever"but could never ever live on it!
Bilingualism for babies is not interesting for people having other plans in mind with their money.
Only very few (living not too far from my place)see the whole interest of it. Very few is : 4
I do want a better life, just can't see how. I have too little money ahead to last more than a year, and will NEVER be depending on anyone. Been there... never again!
I wasn't obliged to answer your post, but you are not the only one to say this to me.

I fitted the same one years ago and my frequency counter shows it is still working, however we had mice nest right under it last year, maybe they were deaf.

It IS directional !!!! I bet they didn't nest on the speaker side !!!

So I am not the only one to see more in you than you see in yourself.

Keep your eyes wide open, something better is looking for you.

That is a lovely thing to say to someone Brian.......

Frankie -I read your rat thread and bookmarked it as, like Mitch, we back onto fields and always have wildlife wandering around

Pleased to hear you have Max back and hope, as Brian says, something better soon finds you

Can't place the van..we need pictures! Not the greatest idea to use washing up liguid in the screen wash as it contains salt?

Sorry , for some reason I didn't answer the first part of your post. Can't place the van .... means? You can't remember having seen it??

If you need pictures here 's one
