Bugger - big chip in glass induction hob
Onoff replied to jack's topic in Kitchen & Household Appliances
Not hopeful of getting a spare glass top if I drop something on my Electra Elecheib induction hob. I guess that's the problem with these well known makes! -

We use this at work for man riding applications, Fischer FIS V 360 S: The piggy back cartridge is imo superior to the standard mastic gun type.- 22 replies

Tbh out of all I've used I used to find the Rawlplug catalogue easiest to navigate. Helpline was good too. Nowadays I use Fischer but that's only on the back of work and I can score the odd slightly out of date tube as we daren't use it for our man riding applications. I helped somebody a while bavk and they were using DeWalt stuff. Nowhere near as good as Fischer imo.- 22 replies

I found digging /lifting with a fine tool between the fins and vacuuming around the heatsink worked best. I did take the back off the old 42" tv the other week and got the compressor and a brush on that. Amazing how much "sticks" and has to be helped with the brush.

Worth cleaning the accumulated dust from between the heatsink fins above the CPU if getting into an old pc. Often it's so fine and compact it's easily missed. Toothpick etc is pretty good for digging it out. Things can start getting hot and shutting down for no apparent reason.

Council tax
Onoff replied to nod's topic in Self Build VAT, Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), S106 & Tax
Raise a "Stage 1 Complaint" (based on incompetence) against the council for quoting the wrong information etc and the stress it's caused you etc. Their internal mechanism kicks in by default and fur flies. Successfully done it myself with advice from my barrister brother. -

Onoff replied to epsilonGreedy's topic in Foundations
We used to happily shift 6m long 178x102x19kgm I beams around roofs between two of us. Around 254x146x37 and we would just design around 3m lengths Probably explains my disc problems now! Why I only carry one 25kg test weight at a time now. If 4 of you lifting it can pay to use 2 strops with one of you either side each end. Sometimes we would use a beam trolley: http://www.bakerfabrication.co.uk/beam-dolly/4567731201 -

Many years ago it was nicknamed Bidonville (shanty town). That only applies to my plot now! -

Erm.....no, not really. Still got to cast the wet room corner, do the mitred corner boxing in and the pockets, fit the shower...... I was joking to the missus (as we drove past St Michael's prep school) that most round here probably pay £600 per square metre for their bathroom tiles! -
I can't believe nobody spotted the deliberate mistake when I posted up this photo of the model previous! Anyway...Union Jack cuts in 330x330x8mm ceramic floor tiles. On a loser? Possible? I can probably get some water jet cutting done.
