  1. As @Nickfromwales has stated . You wouldn’t ask another man to stroke your scrotum nor must you ask him to finish your bathroom .
  2. I will . Of complete and not so complete bits ! ( roses and warts ? )
  3. Thanks for the mega number of ‘likes’ it means a lot …..
  4. Nah ! Less than 7 ( no commitment to time scale though )
  5. Ah shit - that's my problem then!
  6. I can do it so YOU can do it. Took me 8 months to build a random stone wall through winter, sleet and rain. Had chronic plantar faciitis one year and couldn't stand - needed to dig a trench - normally take me a day. Took me 2 weeks on my knees. The challenges will come. They will overload you. You say (expletive deleted) YOU to them and get on with it. I know your journey; so I will know your pain ( sounds like a quote from a movie! ). Help's here ( not from me! ; I'm (expletive deleted)ing useless )) use it !
  7. It’s true ! ? Not complete ( of course ) but after 7 years we actually move in tomorrow. What have i learnt ? . With infinite support and help from this forum you can build a non standard house built by an unskilled non standard human ? . I always felt my journey was a testament to this forum . If I were a plumber , joiner , brickie etc. then that would be a distinct natural advantage. Yet I am an ex software engineer who builds his house bit by bit ( had to get that joke in , sorry ! ) There have been mistakes a plenty ( not all mine ) - many wft moments . The build literally consists of blood , sweat , tears and indeed other bodily fluids . So thank you to all that offer help and advice . Those that tolerate seemingly stupid questions ( usually are stupid actually ) . But most of all to give time to help someone achieve more than they are capable of . This is the power of buildhub . I will now post some witty comments elsewhere ; or some obscenity that will get me a naughty boy badge .
  8. Looking well cool!
  9. A gate partly open can always be nudged a bit more ?
  10. This the glory hole door entry system ? . Is it ready yet ? I wish to try it .
  11. Perhaps they used the infamous Squirrel paint sprayer that matches the squirrel saw
  12. I initially looked at these . But the cost and hassle made it not viable .
  13. Misinterpretation of the title
  14. Yes the user can certainly fall apart
  15. Problem with Makita tools they cause procrastination and you never finish jobs . Dewalt all the way ?
  16. All you need is expanding foam and ct1 . No need to buy anything else ! ?
  17. You can try fittingly They are making us ‘custom’ IKEA units - they might do doors . Some material cost increases are insane ! I also seem to remember I contacted a company in Sweden who deliberately produce custom versions of IKEA stuff - their name escapes me though .
  18. I know . I’ll build an underground mega structure but fear gluey bolts .
  19. Anchor bolts like spitz , mega stuff . I’m too scared of resin ; you know ; sticky stuff on your hands and all that .
  20. Bet the genie didn’t come out
  21. Leave it @Onoff ! It’s not like you haven’t got a few other jobs to sort !
  22. (expletive deleted) me Ouch ! Even I’d gawp at that ! Try fittingly https://www.fittingly.co.uk @Onoff you are such a peasant ?
  23. Facts and figures confuse . A guess is as good as a poke
