Same here...and slugs. We have barley straw as well, update is that the water seems to be clearing slowly - Rob

...or even White Cedar, which is just as good - Rob

Re-booting the 'puter seems to work well. On my IMac I lost the 'whooshing' sound when an email was sent :( :( and it hadn't picked up any software upgrades...a quick 'restart' and it was all sorted - Rob

I used 18mm marine ply when I did my bathroom. All fitted stuff such as the raised floor for the corner shower, free standing floor to ceiling teak veneered bathroom unit and teak veneered washstand were all made from about 1.5 sheets - Rob

I picked up on this little snippet in the Independent and then this piece appeared this morning as well, which is slightly worrying, to put it mildly. Whilst the situation in Syria is becoming progressively messier by the day, the use of CBM's could really change the situation...interested to...

I meant that in the most general, everyday terms, not in the context of Lord Wiggins :mrgreen: recent TdeF win, e.g. when you witness ejits going through red lights or doing stupid, everyday sort of things on the road. Sure, folk who act like a TdeF peleton on narrow country lanes deserve...

J and Roy, thanks for the info... I thought around a week might see some improvement. Plenty of lilly leaves as well on the surface - Rob

Pond is around 1000g, UV tube is 15W with a standard three foam filtration unit. We probably have around 15 or 20 fish, mostly goldfishy variety, nothing posh and they don't get fed that much (don't want to end up with fat fish :mrgreen: ) The pond has always cleared in the past with this...

My pond has turned into pea soup :( However, on Sunday what I did is to completly strip the UV, hard wire all the 240v contacts together (they were a bit 'icky') renew the earth contact, clean the quartz cylinder, fit a new UV tube and starter. Thus far, every thing is hunkydoodly...but how...

Yebut Mr B, have you got the T shirt?..and pics. Not of you in a T shirt, but using a honing guide. We like pics :mrgreen: :mrgreen: (hammer) - Rob

Peleton is the word your looking for Rog :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :lol:...have to agree with you though. Cyclists are road users the same as anyone else - Rob

Indeed...+1, good to see you back Mike - Rob

I think you're on a hiding to nothing with the first two ways Rog. The only way that makes sense to me is to veneer, either your own band sawn jobbies (much more preferable) or some of that commercial paper thin stuff - Rob

Been there, done that...got a whole wardrobe of T shirts :( - Rob

I reckon the thing to do is to have a go at working with the stuff...say to make a smallish project to begin with. You'll soon see if it's worth reclaiming or not - Rob

You have to use an unguarded blade, it's that simple and in a commercial 'shop that is illegal...end of story. What we choose to do in our own 'shops at home is an entirely different kettle of worms, but in a 'commercial 'shop, the regs state that saw blades must be guarded - Rob

I'm not sure about that...I've got a single bed made from the stuff (laminated with 'V' joints') and it seems pretty hard to me - Rob

Honing guide next I fancy Paul :-" :mrgreen: - Rob

+1...agree absolutely - Rob

Please can I have a triple bevel chisel for me SS presi this year? :tool: Let me see :-k I'll have a 25.5 deg convex bevel (that's the radius of the grind, btw) with a 30.26deg concave hone on the secondary with a nice flat micro nano bevel at the edge...stropped of course on a nice bit of...
