Onoff

I actually thought about doing that and jumping one mains lead into the other.

The hole is presumably down through layers of different substrate. I've thought about this myself. Do you take out as much loose stuff as possible in the hope of bonding to the sides or undercut a bit more to make like a dovetail detail?

I've thought about filling potholes with a heavily, SBR laden mix as it sets super quick and seems pretty resilient.

Not boasting but compared to here that is nothing but a skid mark. A foot deep isn't uncommon. They are proper tyre/alloy killers. Managed to hit a rain filled one and it displaced the tyre off the rim the other week. Doesn't help my road is a seasonal water course / raging torrent at times. I did think once to kayak the 3.5 miles to the pub at the end of the valley. Posted a while back but this was the "road" at the bottom of my drive: Once that gets under an existing pothole it just tears it up.

Dawn French could fill that.

I'd like a dual charger but quite spendy compared to the single ones.

Well it ends in "ing"...

This, a bit gutless:

Maybe three courses of engineering bricks first, something similar to what you've got. Then build your wall, including some low drainage tubes but paint the back with lashings of black bitumastic paint. If they get damp they'll just suck up water from the dirt behind, freeze, be forever spalling / blowing and just disintegrate.

I'm mulling a Fajita brushless jigsaw. A tool I don't use a lot tbh. The s/hand Makita circular saw I bought is a bit gutless tbh. Blade looks alright. Brushes maybe 🤔

I've genuine 18V Makita drills (3), impact driver, grinder & circular saw. I've then Fakita grinders (2), sabre saw, multi tools (2), palm router, paint spray gun and 4" chainsaw. I can honestly say I use the Fakita stuff heavily. Had to replace the motor in the chainsaw as I asked too much of it but that's it. The fake grinders were my goto before I bought a genuine one s/hand off of someone on here. Tbh I often prefer the fakes as they're slimmer and lighter as well as brushless. I only ever use genuine 5Ah batteries on the above stuff and other platform stuff where we print battery adaptors.

That's what I have.

I wake early every single day, mind racing. Overwhelmed is how I'd describe it. Everywhere I look I've unfinished stuff. Be it practical projects or "sorting pensions out". It's a hole I can't seem to get out of. Money is tighter than it's probably ever been so tricky to justify buying materials. I'm back eating crap as a comfort so the health isn't great. There's stuff I can't discuss on a public forum. Then, though there's a select few I confide in, I worry it's unfair to lay it on them. The Black Dog I think they call it. Shrink, life coach? I feel a bit entitled too. As in I'll help anybody, go the extra mile etc but it seems a bit one way. Just feels like a train I can't get off.

I thought it was between midnight and 4am when the "veil" between the living and spirit worlds is thinnest? ’Tis now the very witching time of night, when churchyards yawn, and Hell itself breathes out etc.

I can't sleep at night leading up to and during a full moon. Absolutely true.

Do you know Willie Lim?

Was it you who shat on the drive that day?

I did everything "right" in my bathroom in the early stages. Over thought it to death. Studded and boarded the walls so they were true and then some. Laid the concrete floor perfectly level. I should have stopped there and accepted a mates proffered help with the tiling. I didn't. I'd never tiled before, started on the complicated bit you see when you walk in. You can't hang your coat on the finished result but I'll never be happy with it. I really should have used a tile levelling system. A bit soul destroying when I think of the unseen work underneath.

Wish I'd read it and used a levelling system! I used to be able to dim the lights in there until the w**k Quinetic stuff went t!ts up 😡

I like to keep thinking of each day as my last. Not joking.

I'm lost...haven't you finished your place? I'll do you a swap, my life is sh!t.

Don't drop the soap...

Only ever fired it up at "setting 1" on the bench with a 32A supply and it was like what I imagine being on the receiving end of a Harrier Jump Jet exhaust would be like. Nearly as noisy too. A bit of a white elephant possibly. It's a Triton Airobe. No longer made. I heard something about the MK1 being very vulnerable to moisture on the PCB etc. Not sure what model mine is but the PCB will get a spray of conformal coating. Very expensive at the time. I got it dirt cheap off a bloke who thought he could run it off the lighting circuit 😂 It was apparently too much trouble to run the new 8/9kW supply cable back to the cu. There was a video for it on YouTube but I can't find it now.

I made myself a shed load of work by not battening. Had an airtight, VCL'd ceiling. I then punched 4 holes for down lights, 2 for Bluetooth speakers and a bfo one for a body dryer. I have a plan to reinstate the insulation and airtightness on all the penetrations. Been saying that for a few years! 😂 Covered with a Thermahood that I've yet to stick down and insulate around / on top.
