    Invasion of US Capitol building

    Have to respectfully disagree with you. Whilst personally I couldn't agree with them in a million years, if you are one of the 47% of republicans (according to a you.gov poll today) that believes the steal is real, then you ARE fighting for civil rights and democracy. IF I truly believed, and...

    How to remove 30yr old paint without damaging the details?

    It is a slight risk, but as long as you are careful it should be ok, it may be that once you have softened the pain and let it cool again it is more easy to strip off with stripper

    Lidl Update

    I think they normally have a designated store in any given area, where they collect up any non food items that are unsold from all the local stores, if you are lucky these stores are were you can get the real bargains, over and above the standard one size fits all 30% off stickers

    Confession. I have a Parkside problem!

    I bought, and swiftly returned, a parkside oscillating multitool, absolute rubbish, the blade wouldn't stay locked in place at all. Got a far more expensive dewalt multitool and couldn't be happier. I will buy parkside, and other lidl tools (can't remember how the hand tools are branded) but I...

    Retrospective shed insulation

    re. floor to ceiling ventilation, I've no experience of shed building, so take this with a pinch of salt, but if you mount a board on the walls, leaving an inch at the top (or in some cases just below the window sill) and an inch at the bottom, have you not achieved airflow fairly quickly and...

    Confession. I have a Parkside problem!

    I have a 20v pruning saw, so wouldn't rule out picking up the odd item, on the basis of if it's no good take it back the next day, point being they (lidl) seem to be pushing the 12v line more than the 20v. in general I'm not a huge parkside fan. I have a dewalt impact driver (and a dewalt...

    Retrospective shed insulation

    have just been reading around a bit about using unprocessed fleeces for insulation (it was my idea, but it was just something I'd come across in passing, no experience of it). it seems that there are quite a few issues with smell and moths, but a manuafactured sheeps wool product might still be...

    Retrospective shed insulation

    just a thought, and not from first hand experience, but have you considered sheeps wool / fleece. I gather that they are virtually worthless to the farmers and so are often given away for little or nothing (at the right time of year of course), breathe well and offer very good insulation. It...

    Unexpected winter visitor

    Yeah badgers are anything but harmless, certainly wouldn't want to corner one. We have badgers and foxes in the area, and no hedgehogs, so i would tend to agree with you

    Unexpected winter visitor

    I don't think I've seen a hedgehog for about 15 years, like so much wildlife that used to be commonplace, I'm sure their numbers must be dwindling. Just out of interest does the sspca replace the rspca in scotland or do you have them both?

    Warping

    the ply might be a bit thin, so i'd try going thicker, and then i'm wondering how you are clamping, and for how long? I'm wondering, and other's may disagree, whether the moisture contents of the pva is an issue. if you tried a two part epoxy that would potentially set quite quickly and might...

    Weird sculpture thing...suggestions before I burn it

    1000% better than most of the stuff on 'money for nothing' so I'd say you could get a good sale there. I really like it, reminds me of the rocket lava lamps
