  1. Slip some 1/4" thick plastic washers over the bolts before refixing the posts. That'll give a clearance and stop the staining.
  2. You've got to be comfortable using an angle grinder to then get accurate. I only ever use one now wearing full face shield like a Honeywell Bionic after a few near misses through getting over confident and getting swarf hit me in the face/neck despite wearing normal goggles. A bandsaw is relatively slow and won't burn the paint off. It's like a powered hacksaw tbh. Also has fine teeth that shouldn't catch or rip the work.
  3. DeWalt (which I know you love), do nice 18V portable bandsaws. The issue is they don't appear to come with a stand meaning you'd have to wield it freehand so to speak. 3rd party stands are available or you can DIY one. Without, then it lacks the versatility and accuracy of say my Sheppach 230V one. FEMI do one on a stand I do know.
  4. Catch thin, unclamped metal with a big toothed blade and it can go horribly wrong. Ask me how I know, nearly lost a finger. I've known worse happen.
  5. Slowly dispose of it by wearing Great Escape trousers!
  6. Are you @zoothorn in disguise by any chance?

  8. I believe foxes take more rats than cats, at least if there aren't any leftover kebabs which are their natural foodstuff.
  9. Travis Perkins, Selco etc are nationwide builders merchants as opposed to say B&Q, Homebase that are diy stores. You'll likely have an independent merchant near you.
  10. I'm working on printing an adapter...don't wait up: Buy one if you want it quick: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285050150261?
  11. So how far are your pallets i.e the timber going to be off of the ground?
  12. Dunno, I'd search "heavy duty UV stabilised weed fabric / membrane" or similar.
  13. Mate just bought a house and got a big chunk of money off if he arranged to clear it. Old sheds piled high with stuff. A couple of the neighbours swung by:
  14. SWMBO's just said the cheap ones go brittle in sunlight. You pays yer money etc!
  15. Foxes, rats, bellbind, Japanese knotweed, wasps, social bees etc.
  16. As and when I'll just add to the existing thread.
  17. Reassuringly expensive: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/WKONEGEL.html
  18. No offence but this simplified picture may be better. An imbalance, caused by leakage to earth, gets picked up by the search coil: Pushing the test button brings the resistor in and creates an imbalance. It is critical that the in/out wiring is correct. (Same as with current transformers).
  19. Called hanger bolts, wood to metal dowels etc. Then you'll want a penny washer and wing nut of the appropriate size
  20. I wonder how long it takes to cura concrete house...
  21. I could print a scale model here...
  22. Beware the caravan brigade!
