Onoff

As a bit of an aside someone on another forum kindly found these for me. Mine I think is the first type:

Dead animal.

Wonk I believe was the phrase used...

However sh!t his plumbing looks (and the way he cuts holes in boards), his tiling will be dead level and put mine to shame. Only let down by pi$$ colured grout!

The only good thing to come from Essex is the road back here. (This from a man who only just found out his forebears are from Latchingdon!) Anyway you can't eat white stilettos and fake tan. Or can you... 👅?

Still picking runners here:

Et un bung?

We have a small compost bin in the far corner of the kitchen, by the door, for compostables. Then what we call the "fox jug". Choice scraps go in there and are put out every evening for the fox/badger. Not sure pizza crusts, out of date sweets and leftover icing are really that good for them... Empty them, wash and scrub in the sink with a bit of bleach and Fairy, job done.

Harrowing and then some.

Look for a free garden shed, that's your tea room / changing area. Or build one from pallets.

Poor woman, just read up on her cancer journey

Think one of my mate's places is in Normandy, his first French place. It was basically a stone build animal shed with a high front and very low back wall he raised. His other place is further south...begins with C... I'm seeing him this week for a beer hopefully as he's over he on family business. Welcome anyway.

I actually started this project a year ago when I bought a few 20V Parkside hot air guns on a whim. I must add I've no Parkside batteries or chargers. I favour Makita tools but baulk at the prices sometimes. Instead I go with other 18/20V kit and use Makita batteries. I / my lad CAD up the adapters and he 3D prints them. I've not tallied up the wins/losses but reckon I've passed the 50% success rate. The Makita batteries on the 36V Einhell garden stuff a definite win. I've converted some really old 18V NiCad tools and that's had mixed results. This week I couldn't resist the Parkside cordless nibbler for £49.99. The tools themselves are imho actually "alright". The dark green plastic looks like it would pass the drop test and the black rubber sections are nicely done. Little things like the inability to even put a sticker on straight is just annoying. You can find suspect solder joints in these cheap tools and with the cordless grinders for instance it's well worth repacking the drive gear with extra grease. It prompted me to ressurect the adapter design. This is where I am as of yesterday. Test piece done, the part that fits into the Parkside tool. I've used spring finger battery terminals recovered from duff Makita batteries. Fits like a glove. Next step is to graft on the Makita bit and sort the wiring, copper strips as the + & - positions are opposite ways on the two brands: I'm not interested in a print that looks rough, it has to look the part on top of working.

What looks like filter material is actually removable support structure that gets binned, so no!

He may look silly but...

I'm after an "old school" garage door lock for a timber up and over door. The type that puts the opening/closing handle at about waist height, then with a long rod that goes into a hole drilled in the ground. (Yes, I know the hole will need to keep being cleaned out). I'm really struggling trying to find anything other than high security, "strong arm" types where the user has to bend to reach the floor. Any ideas? Cheers

...people who live in underground glass houses etc.

I know where all the bodies are buried! 😉

An MVHR unit stands for mechanical ventilation and heat recovery. They can be single room or whole house. It removes stale, warm, moist air and blows it over a heat exchanger. It recovers the expelled heat and warms the cold, fresh air coming into the house. A benefit is the air is constantly changing and in some respects it also acts like a hoover, expelling a lot of what would otherwise become house dust. Things like minute organic particles like dead skin cells and mould spores. I would say a lot of yours is a cold bridging issue at wall window junctions. Borrowing a thermal.camera would be interesting I bet. When it gets colder I'll borrow my nephew's FLIR one and take some pics here.

Tell me!

Behave, there are limits!

Apparently it is English! 😂
