Took my cheapest slingshot that I got off dealextreme (now dx.com) and with the help of a bent piece of galvanized wire, made an excellent arrow rest for it thus making it into a fantastic arrow shooter. Now I just need some arrows dang it!

You wouldn't like to start a separate thread detailing this, would you, Nick? Piccies welcome? Sounds brilliant.

Emptied my loft of all boxes for the Free Wall and loft insulation Survey :)

Hope I get it for free as advertised and not the "add ons" in the small print :evil:

I looked into this and it was free, but i had just rendered the outside walls and (my builder friend) at the time had not left the damp course showing so they could not guarantee the work, typical. Look around as you can also still get frere solar panels ;)
