I really despair at either the lack of reading about a subject or the blindness to facts that don’t agree with certain perspectives. Israel went into the Gaza as a direct result of genoside / mass indiscriminate slaughter of civilians by Hamas. A totally abhorrent attack. Hamas has persistently...

Give Sedgwick a call, they are very helpful. Good Yorkshire hospitality

I don’t believe the Sedgwick machines have mitre tracks, the TA315 comes with a sliding table as standard.

You really need to get a Stanley No 95 Butt gauge. Invaluable. I’ve attached a copy of the instructions for use

Geez, all the ***** footing around discussing a UK government defined terrorist group. What is all the ‘without taking sides’? To me it’s like saying your not taking sides discussing a convicted child molester, or the Nazis, there is only one morale stand point.

A bit off the wall, but I’d look at gas struts. Constant force over the entire travel. You can use pulleys to double (which would be my plan), triple etc the struts travel and it’s easy to get struts of almost any force. I intend to try using them the next time I make a sliding sash.

For me, when I’ve done roofy stuff it’s a scaffold tower, anchor points drilled into the wall and then a fall arrest harness just in case. I too hate heights, but when you know there is something to gentle stop you if you fall, it gives you confidence.

I’d give Osmo a call and ask them, they are normally very helpful. There number is: 01296 481220

That’s very easy a secondhand Sedgwick.

I understand that ‘heating systems’ should be designed such that all rooms heat up at the same rate, however, due to difference in thermal efficiency I think they will cool at different rates. Ie an external corner room with all windows with a north west aspect will cool at a different rate to...

The boiler is a Worcester 40 CDi classic Regular ErP setup for LPG. It’s the only bit I didn’t change in the heating system as I expect to swap it for air source heat pumps at some stage in the near future. The boiler has only one heat setting which is used for both the hot water and the heating...

The dichotomy I have is that to run the boiler at a lower temperature I increase the risk from legionella, since water should be stored at 60C. If my reading is correct legionalla dies at temps in excess of 50C. So I’ve decided to stick at for 55C. Im looking for a delta T of 20C, so my return...

Pallet truck (usually rated at 2 tonnes +), and put your machine on legs so that the forks will slip underneath. It’s what all my machines are on including a machine that weighs well over 1 tonne. I have a few trucks, including a stacker trucks and I often use them with a pallet in the forks as...

So, having a resin floor in my own property is a learning curve, the first coat of resin is a scratch coat, it’s a further sealer (three in total) to stop any air trapped in the screed below coming up and causing pin holes in the surface. The resin gets hot as it sets causing any air in the...

@Bingy man The house has a modern self throttling boiler, whilst refurbishing the house last year I had all pipes replaced with a minimum 15mm off the main feeds. I have just about 100% UFH, and the house has been fully insulated. The boiler is slightly over sized, I’m comparing it with the size...

It’s that time of year when the boiler is again starting to grown into life and warm the homestead which has led to considering how to ensure my boiler is working as efficiently as possible. So here’s the dilemma and my question: Most home boilers are over specified and therefore too large for...

The first coat of resin of now down, it’s built up in layers and will be 3mm thick with a matt top coat eventually. It’s light blue.

I rather liked the blue option available, but the ‘boss’ chose the colour and it’s going to be…..

@nickds1 brilliant, well done and thank you for the schematic and detailed explanation. I really appreciated it.

The Pad stones have been replaced, and the resin floor has started to be applied. Yesterday the floor was ground, and any imperfections ground out, filled and then a coating of a bonding agent was applied over which sand was sprinkled. Today and loose sand will be hoovered off and another coat...
