Maybe @zoothorn should get a radio?

Says the Swiss cheese! (Lots of holes).

I'd deffo be using Gypframe metal stud for this. Much more stable I reckon than timber.

Is that Belle, aka Little Mixer? (Round and orange etc)

What would look good is a viewing panel set in the suspended ceiling, maybe some back lighting and you watch them grow over time.

Serious hat on now... How about builders band straps fixed to the inside of the skylight upstand. You could then timber frame around/below the skylight at whatever level. What about metal stud wall channel shot fired up into the slab?

Oh praise be there is a God!

You could wait for stalactites to form and fix to them...

I'd use a series of blue pen marks fixed to the concrete.

Not if you have a hedge / can't be seen from the road... ?

Very likely true. I have amalgam scatter in my face, way beyond the root tip of the tooth in question than was root filled (bodged) and from the subsequent apicoectomy. Really throws medical staff when I've had neck x-rays. I was actually asked if I have a shrapnel injury! ? Brushed against a rusty ac grill on site many years ago. Got an forearm full of metal splinters. One particular one would periodically swell up and often hurt. Since my Covid booster it's started growing to a dark purple pimple that I then burst, it'd heal, swell, repeat. Looked blacker than usual a couple of weeks back. Burst and through the blood could see something black. Head torch, swab, needle and pointy tweezers. Weirdest feeling and sound of the needle touching metal. Got two of this sized bit out. One more to go. Been in there years!

I cut scaffold poles, steel conduit, angle iron and box section with my Rage 3. Handles it with ease. Beware the hot flying metal as aforementioned!

Erm...try a proper DeWalt "chop saw". It'll pi$$ all over Einhell, Wickes, Evolution etc for accuracy. Try getting spares for Erbauer! ?

For missing out commas?

The MK4 2.0 GTi I had for a bit as a loaner was RAF and a bit of an underpowered dog.

Well, SWMBO has. Year 2000. She loves the thing. It was the victim of a hit and run so a bit sorry round the front end. It was destined for the scrapper but as my lad had just passed his test I figured spend a few hundred & do it up for him to "learn" around our tight country lanes. Then Covid hit and he's not really used it. SWMBO uses it for the school run. More new parts now than Trigger's Broom. Parts are cheap though. I happen to quite like French cars though many don't. Tbh it's a nippy little runabout. Compact but roomy enough inside. Easy to wash with half a bucket! ? Debating getting a recon/exchange rear subframe for it. Could do with coming off the road for some bodywork tlc.

It doesn't rattle anymore I'll have you know. Nice and quite by some stroke of luck on my part.

I do nothing. The sensor picks up it's raining and the wipers start.

I just press a button and it clears as if by magic.

Leave it. Just mop it up after it's melted and leaked through inside. Or collect in one of the many buckets.

Put in dishwasher. Or simply soak one in in some washing powder in hot water. Report back.

With my 255mm Evolution Rage 3 you cannot trench/do an accurate through housing in timber. It's just too bouncy. Tolerance on the depth is probably +/-3mm. It's dire. I don't really even cut metal with it anymore due to the shower of hot shrapnel that makes, overalls and long sleeves a must, along with googles or ideally a full face shield like the Honeywell Bionic visor. My go-to is my Sheppach band saw.

Evolution Rage 3..... I've got one. Great for shed making but not for cabinet making!

Didn't understand a word of that but hugely impressed! Doesn't @oranjeboom run two in tandem?

Zero emissions to some extent equals zero revenue. The powers that be won't / can't have that. Pay per mile will I reckon be the thing with the EVs. There'll probably be a cost depending on how many PV panels you have on your roof like the old window tax too! ? Next the air that we breathe!
