Send me a pm or whatever it is called these days

It’s a good job this did not happen when I was at school,because all of my teachers were constantly telling me that I would amount to nothing.😊

Well my mate of a mate, who was going to do the worktops decided that the job was too difficult for him. Pete Maddex, of this parish, stepped in to get me out of the mire. And today he did a brilliant job. As always, I was in charge of the pencils. 😀 Thanks Pete, you are a good friend and a...

Eric, I have a general user book about routing. you live in the same town as me, would you like to borrow it?

I think BM is onto something. Maybe you have a deposit rather than abrasion.

I have no experience, but I would give autosol a try. purely as I have a tube for stropping.

Yes

Tom, Are you just finishing school and progressing to college? My son finished school with mediocre results and poor maths results but once he got to college he did well. And went on to university getting a honours degree in engineering. You need very good maths in that subject With hindsight...

What do you mean “if” the French retaliate, it would be entirely out of character for them not to!

Americans using power tools on u tube all seem to have a death wish 😏 Be very careful about copying them.

Well France and others have been added to the list of countries that you have to isolate on return. I am wondering if a benefit from this is demonstrating to European countries the potential loss of revenue if they make our exit difficult, out of spite.

It is online but lots of sections. Personally, I don’t like this online malarkey, much prefer print. I doubt that I have ever watched more than a dozen utubes either.

Blimey, how do folks in hot countries ever get any work done! Hoping we might get a storm, but forecast is not promising. I find this site strangely compulsive. https://www.lightningmaps.org/?lang=en

thanks Doug, my top is 40mm. the total height at home is a tad over 36” as both her majesty and I are shortarses that’s what I will work to. Setch, thanks for the heads up regards the manual, I have just been to howdens and collected one. For anyone fitting a kitchen, not necessarily howdens ...

Thanks. Wasn't aware there was an instruction book. A leaflet said set up the adjustable legs to 170 which is pretty much what has sown the seeds of doubt.

So elementary I feel a fool for having to ask. What is the standard height from the floor for a kitchen worktop surface. I am guessing 36"

There is no way on earth would I have a pay pal account

I am happy to do this, but will wait a day or two. Can braver people let me know when they have done it with no problems.

I thought granite worktops were passé . Ones that I have seen, look less than perfect quite quickly. Nothing beats a nice lump of wood IMHO.

I have taken onboard what many of you are saying and have modified a few this morning with flying leads so as to fit the box in the cupboard. The whole (empty) house has been rewired mainly by me, with sparky doing the new bathroom and signing off the lot. Until the units have arrived, I am...
