Not look at costs yet. I was thinking osb was a bit lighter than chipboard, but I had not realised it might sag.

Except a well written manual is an excellent get out of jail card.

My petrol chainsaw manual advises me not to stop the chainblade with my fingers, which I thought was a good suggestion.

I plan to board out a bungalow loft. This will be storage / “office space. It will not be a true habitable space, access via a posh loft ladder. As I have already removed the chimney the majority of loft is unobstructed. I think it will be around 9 x 9 metres of useable floor. I was thinking...

I keep mine in plastic peanut butter jars too :D

I realised today that I have never bought brown plugs. I had my dads when he died and the rest were given to me by the f in law and his brother. Both worked for the same building firm and they “borrowed “ them from work. He retired at 64 and died last year aged 90.

Clearly you have fully recovered. Your work rate is astounding. ....... and damn annoying!

Supplementary question: where do you folks buy plugs? Are these ok ? https://www.toolstation.com/fischer-pla ... lug/p94080

Lego bricks. I have a little stack (5 or 6) of the thinnest ones.

Do you think we have reached the point where a house no longer needs a tv aerial and thus tv sockets and the related wiring. My thoughts are one being needed, incase the phone line and thus the internet become disconnected. Further, I assume running a power cable and coax together is asking...

Thanks folks I intend to use primed mdf skirting and just fill with calk. I have done this before in my sons house and it worked well. This time I have a whole bungalow to do and maybe on my own, this time. I think we bought some framing screws but did not get on well with them, maybe the...

I recently bought an impact driver and am impressed. Soon I will be fitting miles of skirting board. I was thinking that instead of screws and plugs it might be possible to drive screws into the brick instead. Has anyone done this? And any recommendations or opinions?

I will have a look at my collection of his books this evening. No matter how often I read them I find something new. I bought all of mine second hand via amazon. They are or where, very cheap.

Not what you asked about but does this help? I bought one to get into tight spaces and was quite impressed with the quality. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rolson-Offset- ... H05KWZCBFE

What actually does the shower rating say? Both on the old and new. Is the difference just a function of the wider voltage tolerance throughout the eu? I think this is 220 - 240 plus or minus 10% My thinking is there must be a reason why the new one is cheaper and it might be because it is...

A lorry crashed on the motorway carrying a load of Vicks vaporub. Apparently there was no congestion for eight hours

I wrote “on”. But they were “in”. It wasn’t a typo, just me being linguistically lazy.

Still umming and arring , but will probably go for a log cabin type garage -less the garage doors. Maybe 6 x 4 metres . The rear of the property has a sweeping tarmac drive to a precast garage (not as grand as that sounds) and the workshop will sit on part of that. A previous owner must have...

It is not a shop that I like, but The Range has a narrow selection of Johnson paint and they are open, I think. I have found Lidl Aldi paints to be very good. I hate painting, so would not profess to have any expertise.

In line roller skate wheels. I found some on a skip :D
