November 14, 20232 yr Tuff tiles - in a garage / dungeon setting . Easy to wipe down I bet you dirty (expletive deleted)er 😉 Edited November 14, 20232 yr by Pocster
November 14, 20232 yr Get a bigger TV and centralise it by shifting it left?? Prob not be much more once you've removed, patched and repainted the wall and then drank £200 of wine to forget the mess you've made of it!
November 14, 20232 yr Author You can hoover over the tuff tiles and it seems to give enough of a vac to pull any dirt off the floor so easy to clean really Looks like I can chop and re weld the tv mount worst case to make the last arm shorter. Still not sure what I was thinking when I mounted it before boarding! Will see what it looks like once work bench is in on that back wall. Thinking about using kitchen units, chopped at the back so it can ride over the oak and sit back against the wall then 2.5-3m oak worktop and a vice (would be used for light work only) Or buy a proper toolbox/ chest then mount an oak worktop on with overhang at the rear to bridge the gap
February 14, 20242 yr Author Next job was to get a eucalyptus tree removed as had concerns in high winds Will also allow us to get the hedge in across that side of the garden
February 14, 20242 yr I am pleased you removed that. I think they are awful and quickly grow much too large for the average garden. Best left to the Aussies.
February 14, 20242 yr 3 minutes ago, Mr Punter said: I think they are awful There is vast hectarage in NW Spain of this, grown for paper. the whole area is dead to most nature, because of the toxicity of the trees, and being alien of course. plus it spreads as a weed and increases forest fires. I'm not a fan. Is that worse than larch and spruce here? I will have to think about that.
February 26, 20242 yr Author Yes been a worry for a while now! I don't think the tree was even that old maybe 40 years max Just starting to split the wood now as surprisingly makes good fire wood Just need to get the stump ground now
September 5, 20242 yr Author Finally just about finished the work benches in the garage, just need to make some plinths up around the bottom and paint them matte black! Was trying to sort some benches/ storage at not silly money just for extra storage and light work etc They are 2.46m wide so decent size All in both benches have been done for £700 Units are not the best and were a pain to build!

September 6, 20242 yr Author Prep for front laurel hedge today Ground needed levelling and trench digging Also need to be able to get a car in the garage for storage so got the area graded back as had become overgrown Just need to get some type 1 now to build it up Will be a temporary measure until we can get the dive done (after patio etc)
September 11, 20242 yr Author Installed the colour coded flush loft hatch yesterday so another job done
