      The Trimble in question is Peter Trimble, a graduate of the University of Edinburgh.

      For his thesis project he investigated if it was possible to grow building material instead of using mining and intensive heat and it proves to be the case.

        That explains why the sweaty socks are always taking the piss.

          i think i'll leave out the redneck solution for wood filler when someone makes a mistake but, if any of you all ever happen to be on a jobsite of mine and make a mistake, i'm sure i'll let you know about it then. ๐Ÿ˜„

            Would the redneck solution fix it in a New York minute? ๐Ÿ’š

            I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

              Jeff, maybe you should get working on an alternative solution for concrete manufacture using the 'redneck wood filler'. I imagine it could make you a fortune as there is an abundance of it around and the local authorities spend a lot of money getting rid of it ๐Ÿ˜„
