  1. Was this a chat up line you used on the stem gerds at uni?
  2. Well 110V tools are 55V centre tapped to earth... Isn't a case of if you get a belt you're only likely to take something like 25% of the "amps" you would with a 230V tool? I've had a 110V belt in my sweaty armpit (shirt off, all Poldark etc). Leant over a machine where the case was live. That wasn't centre tapped to earth but a very ancient control voltage. Not funny. The clever people will know.
  3. It's why transmission lines run at up to 400kV.
  4. A couple of Barbie's, artfully arranged would get tongues wagging.
  5. Is the peg board for hanging tools?
  6. Temporary phone case printed in black TPU "rubber":
  7. My lad came up with this Pokemon themed 35mm film holder for his mate. Embedded neodymium magnets in each face. First attempt. You can see the magnets through the layers on the red half: Same mate he made the Deus Ex B3 Wingman (toy gun from a game) for. They're both 25 FFS! Then this, a Dewalt to Ryobi battery adapter in green PETG:
  8. Just seen the edited/revised pics. You'll need to keep the French drain as I see the slab is level with the surrounding ground. Then paint the bottom two boards in something, say black bituminous paint.
  9. Make the base smaller I would. It's a problem that will never, ever go away. Somebody handy with a bfo Stihl con saw. Then flash behind the bottom timber and down over the concrete. Any timber near the ground should be no closer than 150mm (the height an average raindrop bounces). A forever problem otherwise.

    Go on Amazon and buy the caps at those quantities

    M14 is like a non standard standard generally and a pita tba. Stay with M12. How many caps do you need & what colour? Edit: 8 is it?

    Plastic nut caps. We just print them as we need them now: Ready made caps:

    Drill in from each side. As long as you're near enough the second hole will pick up on the first. Stick a little bubble level atop your drill if you're that worried & line the drill up left to right with a square on the floor or similar. Put studding through. Affix with a flat round washer, then spring washer then full nut. Ideally stainless. Leave/cut the studs so 3 threads projecting beyond the nut. M12 is 1.75mm pitch so 5mm is fine. Cap with a plastic nut cover.
  14. Welcome. (Looking forward to something powered by radon!)
  15. Mine? Length...
  16. Is it me or is the grout in those vertical rips done level? Maybe to try and hide them?
  17. To hide some of my poor tiling, where tbh you could hang your coat, I fittted..... .....a dimmer switch.
  18. Poor planning there. I did exactly the same at the ceiling. As I'd fitted new ceiling joists I should have just counter battened. Wouldn't have had to hunt down 2.7m plasterboard either!
  19. Might have been the same grout colour but a different batch? Tbh though I'd say two different colours. Is that a line of skinny, circa 1" wide tiles, ska "rips" in the corner or a vertical pencil mark? I did my floor first. Then brought the wall tiles down to a consistent 1mm off the floor tiles. Where I effed up was by not using a tile levelling system.
  20. The chimney flashing detail maybe?
  21. Fromunder actually. Would you like me to reimburse you the toll fee? Even @MikeSharp01 moved to get away...
  22. A bit like the Dartford crossing model? Keep the parking charges in place for a number of years to offset the PV outlay then make parking free?
