I don't have any dust extraction at the moment so it's a case of opening the doors and windows and sweeping up afterwards!

Anyway to get back on topic ;) Did somebody ask where the sawdust was? OK, the new gate is being positioned slightly back from the existing one, can anbody spot a problem? Yup, I live in a mining area and the house subsided slightly 70 or 80 years ago (stable now the surveyor tells me)...

Road holding is certainly impressive, about 20mph higher cornering speed than the MX, although it feels quicker in the MX, or so the misses complains. Very competent in the wet, but change the standard tyres to Goodyear Eagle F1's and you'll notice a big difference. I had the prodrive handling...

Depends what you want from your car. The scoob, apart from the acceleration from stationary is actually quite dull to drive, the MX5 I have now is far more fun, but more difficult to drive. With the scoob, just point it at a corner and it goes round, foot flat to the floor at the apex. The MX...

Extra £400, that's silly. It's an OEM modification and only adds about 25 bhp. Don't know who you've tried but Elephant and Liverpool and Victoria have traditionally been good with scoobs. You may need to fit a tracker for some insurance firms though. A lot of people PPP the WRX to get it up...

Bit late now, but I might have been tempted to put Tyvec under the T&G to provide the water seal.

Yup - may get to fit it this weekend, you should see the supports on the house :roll: (all will become clear) Bug or blob eye or a brand new one? Insurance wasn't too bad, about £500 per year fully comp.

Gripfill is holding all my skirting boards on!

Gate now sanded (toy in the background) And primed and undercoated And a coat of gloss, just need to do the back and sides now

Certainly quicker than the scoob. The scoob comes in a number of guises and that can make a big difference. UK Classic is pretty bulletproof, the Jap imports are more powerful but also can suffer with expensive engine failures with the 3rd cyclinder overheating with them being a highly tuned...

I'd go for the Evo if I was going down that route again!

Seen the one you mean, that's plasterboard joint filler. Tape the seams and then run that stuff over it, it's a powder a bit like plaster of paris.

They're not cheap to run. Service every 10K, about £200 notes a time (not too bad), 60K is a big service and will run to over £1000. 20 mpg if you're gentle, sub 10mpg if you're pushing on. Tyres £150 ish a corner and you'll wear all 4 at much the same rate with the AWD. I'm actually quite...

As you will no doubt hear time and again around here, it could do with being bigger! The problem I have is there isn't much room for laying kit out. On this project I was using the SCMS, morticer, router table and hand held router. I was frequently putting things on the floor to create room...

Crappy wood unfortuately, plus lots of nail holes to fill from tacking the boards on. :D

Either in a rubble sack or the vac! :)

Depends what you are planning on using the cut wood for.

A sharp chainsaw and a steady hand will give you a surprisingly clean cut and will munch through those sort of dimensions in seconds. I use and Oregon for cutting railway sleepers and have been impressed with the finish.

Well a quick update for anybody that's interested (sorry some of the pics are poor, I didn't have my camera handy so had to resort to the phone) For those that saw the pegboard thread in general, here's all the accessories piles up (bought way too many). Those kitchen units now have a work top...

Crosshills, I was brought up in Sutton!
