Onoff

If Everedge is good enough for the National Trust and @Gone West... What diameter rings? Just slice up an old 50gal drum maybe? Just make damn sure it's degassed and vented or fill with water and cut top down.

The National Trust do! ? Developers are cladding complete skyscrapers with it in London! You definitely want a rolled, "safe" edge if using steel. Imagine falling on it! ?

Are you sure its not CorTen, "weathering" steel? Rusts for a few years staining everything in site ? then stabilises and settles down. Edit: I think I'm right: https://www.facebook.com/pg/UK.EverEdge/posts/

What's the hatch for? Big, small? I've got this kit: (Bloke makes it look hard work but then he is using a DeWalt drill!)

I've found it lasts longer if you tack roofing felt or a strip of dpc to the side of the timber against the soil/grass.

What's the finish on that?

How about corrugated, galvanised steel edging. For example: https://www.selections.com/set-of-6-galvanised-steel-lawn-edging-rolls-16.5cm-x-5m? Shop around of course. Search "steel lawn edging". Might sit well with your Armco barriers elsewhere.

I'll print some and spray them silver!

It did cross my mind too!

Test "washer" laser cut out of mild steel. One of these in stainless will go under the dome nut above the down lighter.

No it won't...hopefully! I won't be posting up for instance where all the power, access control, camera stuff is being run specifically.

Cap stones can go on next! ...after I've given the bits of steel box I can reach inside the pillars a coat of car body underseal. I hopefully won't be getting to them again. That is until the Tesco, Amazon, DPD etc van driver, destroys the pillar(s) one day! ? I still need to figure what I can paint onto these relatively freshly cast cap stones. I thought something breathable but a painter at work reckons I should apply a proprietary sealer then a masonry paint? I want them to end up painted black.

The unfortunate thing with these steels is they were never galvanised originally. I'm a bit concerned about internal rust over time. As much as anything it, the rust, might drip out of the open bottom. Planning to squirt something up inside like Waxoyl or more likely ACF50.

I make a point of taking any rough edges off with a needle file/emery cloth. Nothing worse than sticking you finger in a hole and pulling it out covered in blood.

A smidge of aluminium anti seize on the M4 screws: A horse shoe of silicone grease: Nut 'em up: A good hard rub round the rim with a moist toilet tissue to get rid of the excess lube...and roughly what it'll look like finished. Still awaiting someone coming back who's hopefully laser cutting me some Celtic cross washers to go under the stainless dome nuts!

The other pillar: This side will be in shadow ?: A very careful application of silicone eater might tidy the bricks up a bit. Should have masked up first I guess! I'll admit to resorting to a surgical glove dipped in a water / washing up liquid mix to finish things off!

It's RUSTIC! ?

Getting ready for the buff coloured silicone! Packed with this stuff first: Looking forward to giving the pillars a mild Disclean!

I wonder if that board has come from a commercial setting and been fitted at mate's rates? ? Weird that contactor on the left and the D breakers in a domestic setting...though all "on" they might not all be used. Legrand is good gear mind. Might be able to add a few RCBOs on selected circuits.

Yep, bought a couple of them to go with the other unopened packs bought over the years! The pack of step drills and the weird drill bit crossed with a rotary file set. Never really got on with step drills tbh, prefer Starretts. Saying that I killed the one step drill I had using it in stainless...

I'd say there is a downpipe hidden in that square column/support. Goes into that Aico drain you can just see.

Is that like banned?

That's because we're keeping it clean with mild inuendo rather than resorting to your usual, crass, in your face, blatant filth! ?

I'll line 'em up son!
