Honestly, as a start, improve the lighting on your work area it makes a world of difference. Try and focus it on the weld area. Buy an ESAB Sentinel mask too if you've £200 ish to spare. Just look at the field of vision! You can get it air fed too: Who wouldn't want to look like this?

Bit more done. Lost daylight yesterday evening, LED work light packed up etc

Don't forget you can enclose a "plastic" enclosure in a fireproof medium and still comply.

He must ingest quite a few metal fragments the way he keeps drinking bourbon from those jam jars... I believe it's filmed in Mark Harmon's own basement.

What is agreed and shown on the drawings he's working to? Tbh I liked the idea of a step down into an attached workshop. Very Gibbs/NCIS!

It's not all bad there mind:

Email your builder now on the lines of: "Hello, Typical, rain stops after the concrete pour! ? The concrete pour look a little low. Can you confirm the new room floor levels will match the existing and there won't be some big step down. Regards" Put concerns in writing. Don't rely on him being a good bloke and a handshake.

Saying that it's amazing the amount of time the police have to waste dealing with what are ostensibly incidents stemming from mental health issues...

Here's his blog:

Hasn't @oranjeboom recently done similar with his windows in ewi?

Good time to bury annoying neighbours under the concrete.....

I whacked in loads of concrete screws with my 110V Makita SDS with a chuck adapter in and a Torx bit in it. Seemed to work.

Have you got a 230V mains pistol drill? That'd drive them in. What have you got in the way of drills?

Some photos would help.

Do you have a list of what's gone? Serial numbers? Maybe post in case anyone is offered stuff for sale.

I like that idea. I want UFH in our study area. That's 22mm p5 on 100mm joists, onto building paper onto concrete. (It's our old boot room I lined). Love the idea of routing the existing boards but I'd want to pull the floor boards up as there's only 100mm roll insulation between the joists and I would look to replace with pir. If only I'd found eBuild when I did it originally! Saying that could I put 100mm pir between 100mm joists or would I need an air gap under the boards? Cheers.

Mind those sharp edges getting it down!

I need at some time to add some bright LEDs around the welding mask which many people do. Amazing the difference good strong light makes to seeing the weld pool even when the mask auto darkens. I might invest in a cheat lens too.

It's telling isn't it when lying on a scrap of dpm in the dark is preferable! So useful this little Parkside welder.

Sorry to hear this. I was welding earlier down by the gate. Had some nosey git pull up, wind down the window and have a good mooch. Didn't know him from Adam.

It ain't pretty but it'll hold some bricks up whilst they set:

I've just got 20A switches above the worktop...on show. Unswitched 1 gang sockets below. I'm feeling very isolated on this.

How about... Power enclosure: Into that plug 13A Quinetic receivers: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/QUA313.html Plug the wall warts for your fairy lights into that?
