  1. Wasn't it just a big slab of marble in the old days?
  2. That just sounds like sour grapes to me...
  3. Garage beer fridge...mmmmm!
  4. How many of us, who have a dishwasher, or other kitchen clutter for that matter, feel the need to live alone?

    It'll be a cupful more like given the price! 4:1 alright or too strong?
  6. Scrap MDF cover boards from the local wood yard & a desk chair base: Parts cut with an Evolution circular and chop saw then routed. Dog rough! ?

    Ta. Are you saying not to mix with building or sharp sand or that I can but it'll be different colours?

    Gate Pillars

    Well it's going up slowly! Couldn't resist giving it a quick wash down with acid. Pleased the footing bricks don't stand out too much. So were now here about 7 courses from the top. (Dirty again and needing another acid wash). Yes, it's got a bit of a bow.....its rustic is all I'm saying! Some lights, a bit of ivy maybe..... The flint panel sections are separated by two bricks. Was only when I stepped back that I realised I'd done 3 bricks.....I'd welded the support angle too high! Removed the brick whilst still wet. Might actually help when I come to infill the pillar. @nod, I'm going to get some hydraulic lime to inset my flints, a couple of questions: 1) Lime can burn skin can't it? Gloves I assume, any special precautions? Goggles, mask? 2) Is lime mortar white? Wanting a more muted colour. 3) 4:1 building sand/lime? What mix consistency should I aim for? As in wet, like Plasticine etc Got to knapp some flints and plan the panel layouts on a flat board sometime. I'll tell the youngest it's a jigsaw. Cheers
  9. How about a nice line of evacuated tubes rolled to follow the roof profile then a small steam turbine? I'll get me coat...
  10. Welcome. Some solar gain there! Going to need some shading/ cooling. Sage Glass if deep pockets maybe?
  11. You've got two fridges? ?
  12. One would hope the 6"x6" fence post will fit in the shoe. Sometimes they need a bit of pairing down at the end... IF the 6x6 will fit under your chop saw you can maybe mark a line all round, cut halfway then flip over. You will need some stacked timber a couple of metres away as high as the saw bed is off the ground. This to support the end.
  13. With a DECENT handsaw... I'd mark the cut lines in pencil then with the tip of the saw cut along/into the pencil lines a bit. That'll act as a guide for your saw blade. Apply Mr Sheen to the saw blade.
  14. Go for it. ?
  15. Did well gluing all those little bits together!
  16. So my missus says.... Just been looking for that particular Round The Horne episode...
  17. Nothing worse than an unstable door.
  18. Who knows ref the quality? Might set up tomorrow with a long bit of Cat-5. The Chinglish manual is a treat!
  19. TWO stoned masons now! Welcome.
  20. No one leaves.....
  21. Are you proposing to use 6x3 everywhere instead of 6x2?
  22. Something like this? ?
  23. Seems a lot of work for such a tiny space.....what are you going to do in there? So this, are you positive?
  24. Are you able to go and measure the base of the cabin you're buying?
  25. In the pub / doing a lot of gear most of the time? ? One serious consideration you may want to stop and think about imo is the footprint of the cabin and how it will sit on your base frame. Get it right and water from the cabin sides will simply miss the base frame. Get it wrong and water will sit on the base frame/against the cabin and potentially lead to rot.
