On Friday i decided I was fed up and went to buy a new saw blade from machine mart (they are the cheapes stockist at 28 pounds.) only to find that when I got there, they were out of stock. I pickecd up some more cutting discs for the angry grinder as the exhaust manifolds are ripping them to shreds, and they were only 30p each.

On the way home i decided to drop into B&Q to see if they had any saw blades - which they did - 38 pound each, a full tenner more than machine mart! I went to the till and had a moan about the price, the lady was very helpful, and after a phone call to machine mart to confirm the price, duly matched it, and reduced it a further 10%. In the end I bought it for 25 quid - result! Nice one B&Q.

The new blade might light work of cutting the pipe for the top sections of the exhaust manifolds, cutting quickly and cleanly. I Still have 6 flanges to remove from the old manifolds, which i will do when i can sneak a couple of hours in the garage next, which i imagine will be one morning next week. We have a viewing on our house on Monday so it's all hands to the pumps to make sure it looks perfect for that. Roll on Tuesday so i can get on with it!
