Don’t want no man in a gown rubbing my rocks !

I’ve certainly sowed my seed

Isn’t bleach , bleach though ?? Bleach works to some extent . But I can scrub 1 quoin face for 25 minutes . Just imagine …. Me in the street with a bottle of bleach , swearing - like a local alchi . There must be an easier way .

Spent all today trying everything to clean these Quoins. No joy!. Any other products to recommend??????

You need to get a life 😀 Though if you do ‘enjoy’ mundane monotonous tasks you are welcome to visit ( work ) on my site .

I marine ply in bathrooms on the stud . Whether that’s worth the extra cost compared to osb is debatable. But I sleep better at night not thinking about it

Much thinner . I didn’t take insulation into account with my upstands . So plasterboard with aerogel is around 6mm I believe .

I used firrings to get my ‘fall ‘ . Plan on using aerogel to insulate upstand internally .

Lot of effort for a glory hole door bell

Struggling still with the black Lithofin Had little effect . For the quoins resorted to dilute bleach 😞

My builder was always slow . Always had excuses . Rarely worried about anything . oh wait ! That was me 😋

I am lazy

Apart from me all stud finders are Shite . I did an in-depth technical analysis of them ( can’t be arsed to search for my own thread )

Have this funny looking tree in my garden

Might suit @SteamyTea ; he likes arranging flowers . Or maybe @Onoff ; he needs something to trim his bush

Hmmmm . Had a quick look . Got to buy a “ landscaping “ product . That’s for sissy’s not real men .

I’ve got most of the Dewalt range . But I’ll take a look - could always sell the combo drill on shite bay . Black & Gold ; it’s called ; not (expletive deleted)ing yellow !

Bench . Then 2 or more can share the space 😉

Things like this are always a nightmare; especially on your own . I’d buy an electric hoist . Pull / slide it up some Scaff boards . Probably still need some extra hands for this . I wouldn’t recommend doing it ‘ manually ‘ at height …. I’ve moved steels / glazing ( no laughing ) / metal stairs etc . On my own - but not ‘up’ 😁

Started to do the front ones as they are lighter ; maybe only 40kg each . Firstly the Sbr / cement mix holds them well . They ain’t ever coming off the wall unless it’s with a breaker ! Annoyingly ( like with my tiles ) the error margin from the moulds seems quite high . You can line 2 up ; exactly parallel - yet the apex of one is a good 7mm ‘out ‘ compared to the other . Nothing I can do about that I guess . Whilst doing it a neighbor that talks too me ( which is rare ) said “ It’s taking you so long because you are a perfectionist “ . I assume he wasn’t being sarcastic …..

I always deliberately find examples where the council have broke their own rules . “ must confirm to SUDS “ , “ must be near to 21m distance “ , “ must provide bike storage “ etc. etc. ( it’s a long list ) . At planning I then show them these violations which they approved . I call this game “ knob the donkey “

Yep . Seen detached and yet I’d struggle to walk down it . Best one was my brother many years ago bought a new build with a garage . He had an average size car . It would fit in the garage but you couldn’t open the doors to get out!. Absolute joke these ‘ developers’ . Yet try and do a single self build and all those ‘ignored’ rules are suddenly applied and enforced .

All depends on your council planning . Mine want “ as near “ to 21m distance. Whilst clearly this flexible rule is violated massively on those lovely flats they cram into city centres .

RTFT 😁
