This is why you took them. Tell her, also tell her given her current attitude your glad you did!

Thank you for all the thoughts and comments, some further research required. These things are never easy as I’ve now found that some of the programmers don’t do water (it’s an oil fired combi). At the heart of this is the ability to easily change programme times to match an irregular shift...

For me this is all about the programming rather than the ‘controlability’ of the overall system. Cost is, as always, also a factor. Hive looks like it might do what I need and I’ll have a closer look at honeywell. Worcester also do some form of device which is worth a further look. Oh, - I...

New house means getting used to new programmer but it's a tad carp when it comes to 'easy' changing. Wife works shifts and this necessitates some early starts and for some reason she likes it to be warm when she gets up. This is obviously easy enough but it then means the heating comes on at...

Thanks Mike, appreciated. Timber cladding on the back instead of cement board will save me a small fortune. The build will follow your principles and I have several questions about detailing but I’ll start a separate thread when work commences.

Downsizing means I'm about to loose my nice cosy, spacious double garage and move to a single one. I'm looking to build an 'annex' off the back of the garage that will become the hand-tool area (access by taking out existing garage window on back wall and forming opening). Initial drawing gives...

Bob, Well done for giving it a go. I'd agree with Mike on measuring what you consider is 'acceptable' productivity. Set that out very clearly so all understand what's required of them. I've been involved in quite a few arguments about the acceptability issue in the past and trying to remove...

Oscar, Yes, 550 kg does seem like a lot of weight but it is fairly evenly spread isn't it? Looking at the sizes of timber etc. I don't think you'd have a problem with that. Point loading on the floor might need to be considered? Seasonal movement, - it's a breadboard end so you'll get some...

Can you ease the back edge of the door? Run a chamfer all the way down and then touch up the paint? Would probably be easier then trying to adjust or ease the shelves.

Brian, That is delightful! What a wonderful piece of work. Love the tick, tock. Stuart

It's interesting how different people approach the same problem and get different results. I've had an axi lunchbox thicknesser for years (with lockable head) and just got used to the snipe. One day I thought I'd put a longer bed on it and help reduce it, - if anything it got worse! Go figure...

Completely agree with Pete, - almost certainly the cause. I always clean first with a white spirit rag to get as much 'gunk' off as possible then a generous wax and polish and jobs a good 'un. Also something to do on a regular basis not wait until timber starts sticking.

Bob, Given that bubinga is a really, really nice wood it would be a real shame to waste any by screwing up somewhere along the line. Suggest you play with scrap softwood to help you decide what you want design wise? You could then use that to help template in your nice wood. In terms of...

How’s the water getting in? I had an issue and sticking a length of roof batten across the threshold sorted it out.

Looking good Steve. Nice to know I'm not the only one who (sometimes!) has problems measuring stuff properly. I absolutely hate it when a measurement that should be so obviously simple is cocked up, - I've had a bit of practice at it unfortunately. Don't you go blowing it all one go now!

And having had your lessons/passed your test you can go out and buy a vehicle that can leave you wrapped around any piece of street furniture you'd care to name. In fact a few years ago one of the highest accident rates was amongst 'older' bikers who having passed their test bought stupidly...

Hi Matty, Yes, - still available. The 1/0.56 kW seems to be the difference between input and output ratings. I'm in no way a sparks so can't comment any further. All I can say is it munches 12mm mortices through oak easy enough! Let me know if you have any additional questions. Stuart

Sorry Chris but that isn't quite right. Corporate manslaughter legislation doesn't have any impact on individuals. As the name suggests it's the corporate body that faces charges hence only fines likely. Strangely enough the legislation to imprison individuals has been contained within the H&S...

Still sat here taking up space so price reduced again!
