    Mortgage rates / interest etc

    The dumper is about 1350 mm wide. The seller said it'd fit on an 8x4 plant trailer, then, after id won the auction it was suddenly wider. Luckily my brother has lots of trailers so i nicked one if his 🙄 The digger can be 980mm wide or expand the tracks out to 1300 👍

    Hanging Doors

    Ages ago, i had some spare spindles hanging about and welded 2 together in a T shape. I keep it in my pocket, so if a door blows shut of i close it without thinking, ive got a quick easy way to open it again 🤣 I used to use a big flathead and wedge it in the latch spindle hole diagonally

    Hanging Doors

    A good trick is ( if the lining looks good and door #should fit # ) you can tack the stops roughly in place and the put the door in the hole to check ( making sure the hinge side of door is on the correct side, as lighweight doors usually have the lock side marked clearly on the top of the...

    Hanging Doors

    Id just use a flat bit to drill out the latch mortice, then either chisel or router to recess the plate. If you choose a 1/4" router over the chisels, practice on some scrap timber of a similar width as door, to see how it feels as you move closer to the edges Etc Once the latch is in, move the...

    Hanging Doors

    To give yourself a fighting chance..... Start by checking your levels are in fact level in all bubbles and your square / squares are truly square. Get each level and place it against a flat surface ( horizontal and vertical need to be checked ) Look carefully at the bubble placement, then...

    Sharps fitter job / 110v tools

    Most trade users are / have swapped to mostly battery kit now..... Definitely worth calling them, ask as many questions as you can think of... I just googled it for the sake of it, assuming these reviews are accurate, the fitters aren't all happy. Of course, some reviews may have been left by...

    burning cladding as a finish

    Yep, unfortunately a black burnt look probably wouldnt help sell the unit i made, i think most people would opt for the toasted look instead of cremated 🙁 it was an interesting experiment though 😀
