I realise this is probably a long shot, but does anyone know where in North London I could borrow a generator for only a few hours on a Sunday?
I’m looking to fit a ground anchor in my car park, but it is nowhere near a power socket. I got the guy with the drill, but nowhere for him to power it.
+1 If all else fails then there is BUildbase in N10 by the Queens woods that do hire out jennies. I don’t know bout deliveries. Let me have a crack at it and if that fails then hire the jenny. If they wont deliver short notice then I can collect it for you as I’m not far from them
Hello mate.
I actually live in Crouch End too. I have a cordless SDS drill if you’d like to make use of it. It’s only 18v so may take a little while to get the job done, but it certainly will eventually!! Don’t have any SDS bits with me at the moment though… Well 7mm and thats all. All the rest are at work or were stolen with my car
Happy to let you use it if all else fails if you can get a bit the required size!!
Thanks for the offer! (I should have stopped lurking months ago, people here are too nice.)
The plan for now is to let Jaime have a go at it with the Makita. I’ve got to buy the 16mm drill bit for it anyway. If it doesn’t work, then I will take you up on your offer of the SDS. Is that OK?
I’m sure Jaime will sort you out but you may want to drill a pilot hole before you go in with the 16mm…
Screwfix is good for bits if you’ve not already been shopping…
@gregog and @Jetstream - I might have to take one of you up on the offer. I will have to get a SDS bit though. Jaime managed to drill 2 holes, but then the battery started to lose juice, and the other 2 holes were a bit tough.
There is definitely no power socket near the bay.
I’ll try and source the bit today or this week, and get back to you?
