    Plumbing dilemma

    Can I suggest that while you are at it, it might be worth considering re routing it behind the vessel on the right? Clip it to the wall and make sure that it falls in the correct direction. It would also make it easier to access the vessel on the right and be less prone to mechanical damage.

    Not really, there is an obligation to make 'reasonable progress'. This reasonable progress is subject to the road, weather and traffic conditions, the vehicle type and what the driver can see, cannot see but could be reasonably expected to find. It is very subjective but doing 40 on a motorway...

    Human race are a shady lot. They choose to break various traffic laws and most of them are conscious decisions based on the 'what's worked Bias'. When they eventually get caught, its suddenly everyone elses fault............ No one actually makes us break the rules, its personal choice...

    The guidance I give is to go home and READ THE SMALL PRINT. That is it as we are not specialists in that field. WITHOUT PREJUDICE If you are worried then call your insurance company. 'Asking for a friend insured with you', is a common opening line............ If the small print requires you to...

    Dorset do not subscribe to the National Model......... Impact is what actually kills.coming abruptly and often violently to a halt. 93% of collisions are down to Driver/rider error.

    Thank you for the welcome. The course increases in length by 15 minutes in January. It's a really good course. I enjoy delivering it. Most peoples concept of speed limits is 'interesting'................

    Workshop - block or wood ? humidity worries..

    Here is some info on timber frame construction. Hope this helps but personally I would avoid block walls unless you provide a moisture barrier to prevent moisture being drawn into the the building. Tyvek is a great product. ~Then batten the walls then clad~...

    Record 77a Question and refurb

    At the risk of being barred, it would be superb for shaving Parmesan cheese, especially with the off square blade....... very artistic.

    If you can keep up you've passed. If you stack it you will have failed.............. Sounds about right. I've also done my RoSPA car test and have tutored people to the correct standard. 5 Gold Awards so far. Open Roads (Rural roads) are a blast. Especially the narrow lanes................

    No worries. Glad to be of assistance. Oh, one thing i forgot to mention the number of points needed to be disqualified from driving is only 12 on the totting up process. The actual number needed is ZERO. Any offence that results in the placement of points on a drivers licence, if tried in the...

    SAC's were introduced in the UK in the early 2000's. I have been delivering them since 2006. Currently in order to get 'invited' you need to be exceeding the posted speed limit within a range of; speed limit +10% of the limit + up to an additional 9mph. Above that threshold its prosecution time...

    Doncaster or Brunty, tbh Brunty was always favourite but back in 2015 no one envisaged the lease deal at Brunty. Doncaster imho, was a non starter as a final resting place. Airside at an airport? Was never a good idea. Too many things that could potentially go wrong and too many prohibitions but...

    Valuable lesson learnt regarding laminating.

    I know it's a bit late for you but any board that is faced must have the rear faced too. This is called 'balancing' and it prevents exactly what has happened to you.

    Ah, 558, yes I have invested a few quid in the project over the years. Raised a few quid too. Great bit of engineering, and so pleased to be at her first public display with my family. My boys could finally see and hear what the old man was on about. Speed Awareness.............. Great fun to...
