I know a lady who bought her bungalow ( no mortgage ) and had a wood burner fitted. A month later the roof went up.... she didnt need insurance either..... If i could get another 80k together i could buy it, but i fell short 😢 Edit to add, the legal battle with the wood burner company is 4...

To be honest, I'd hoped that the half time break would end the argument, but Tom kicked off the second half, lighting that fire again 🤣

Ooooooo, its like xmas! Just arrived, quick delivery 😁 Ive even got a baseball cap and pen and a paint tin opener 🙃 What a handsome chap 🤣😆

Actually, @PerryGunn has a great point. You also get the posh looking arone roller latches, which require a 35mm ish deep hole and normal recessed plate. You have to get the spring loaded mechanism just the right pressure and they work great

Go for it stig👍 I once had an offcut of a green oak beam. I want it to develop character, so i ran it over the planer, chamfered the top and stuck it in the airing cupboard for 6 weeks. At some point i might get round to filling the cracks with lead ( strips hammered in tight ) and carefully...

@Pabs , are you still alive? You stumbled across one of the forbidden topics! Just to clarify, you cant post about: Sharpening Planing Rising damp Mft tops Any form of engineering Pasties / cream teas Track saws Impact drivers Weetabix ( ok i made that one up ) Politics Finance / economics...

In that case, there is no joint as such to compromise, just formed ( shaped ) chipboard, often with a lock block set into it. If you want full clarification, you could ask in your local branch. They may even have a damaged one you can cut up and show the customers

Hi doug, I havent fitted any of those. Are they solid timber stiles and rails? I cant imagine howdens doing full mortise and tenon on internal doors.... more likely the whole thing is chipboard with lipping?

Whats your address? I'll post mine up for a touch up 🤣

I dont do electrics or plumbing for customers and it's very rare i do any plastering. Im quite good at small areas but i struggle with larger bits and ceilings ( not had much practice and i dont want to either 😅 ) To be fair, I mostly do what i can myself so that i dont have to rely on other...

This kit has suction pipe AND hopper, a long hose, short hose gun and i believe 2 different sized tips. Just over 1k https://www.sprayman.co.uk/product/spuk002-the-original-and-best-sprayman-gx21ff-electric-airless-sprayer/

With my 'workshop' it's hard to get cover, so one broker told me to insure the kit within, but accept no insurance for the shipping container itself

Hi, Its complicated 😔 I have public liability, tool insurance with a few add ons with direct line. I bought a digger late last year and decided to investigate the insurance options and i found i am probably under insured.... but directline arent necessarily the best provider. I did an online...

Hi all, Just reviving this quickly.... I'm now at the point of ordering the graco gx21ff..... what do i need to get in addition? Sounds like pump armour is important and on the sprayman site, they recommend upgrading to a manifold filter ( 175 quid ) What did you guys do? Thanks, kev

I would generally use a router, but sometimes for the odd small bit I'd use the block plane. After a bit of experience you learn to judge the angles, but at 3mm chamfer, it's not all that noticeable if you were at 35° 🙃

Hi Pete, Good to see you have drive to get out there and look 👍 If i were you, I'd drop in to some local workshops and ask in person. I'd also reconsider your approach in terms of money. I think if you were to offer to do a few days for beer money and go from there. You dont want to loose too...

Exterior house wrap is ok, but can be pricey. Interestingly building control allowed us to change from house wrap to cavity fill and the b.c.o said that recent info shows there isnt a huge gap between cavity fill and exterior wrap in therms of thermal gain. ( thats what he said, i dont have...

I go commando 😎 Oops wrong forum 🤣

Jeez phil, that was a long way to go for a bench grinder 😆
