Cool, I thought I needed some special "oak wood" screws. I will definitely pilot them - to prevent splitting as well! BTW, following your advice, I am actually more inline with 27mm right now: cheaper, lighter and will indeed look better in my tiny office. My plan was to grind the bottom end...

Going to pull the trigger tomorrow :) I wonder what kind of screws to use for mounting the legs to the top? Thinking about these legs: - (My floor isn't the best) Not adjustable. The adjustable ones have separate brackets, which I imagine will result in a wobbly desk + The bracket is welded to...

yeah, that's inline with the pricing I am getting. The 230 figure includes the cut, "preoiling" and edge processing (my elbows don't like sharp edges!). And it's "Premium Oak" ("Grade A", selected without knots, etc...) But I will definitely shop around ebay some more! I initially tried, but my...

I am horrible at dealing with working men. I am on the spectrum and even though I think I make perfect sense, they prefer to shrug me off, whatever I am asking for! :D I've been looking for someone to turn me a very simple piece and couldn't find anyone with a lathe willing to even have a...

I don't know if I used the correct word: "warping". I didn't mean the natural change of shape that real wood incurs with time, I mean more like slowly "buckling" under the weight. Anyway, most desks in my price range seem to be without any support along the width of the desk. I think I will go...

I am looking for a desk that fits my home office. My plan so far is to buy the top and the legs and then bolt the legs on. I am not planning to use a frame! My concern is that the desktop might warp with time. I don't plan to put anything heavy - just a screen, laptop, maybe a plant. Here are...

this is not about the hive controller, which I was able to install just fine :) The heating system has the same problem with the old thermostat and hive. I just mentioned that to rule out the thermostat.

It's second hand from a friend. Pulled out of a fully working similar system. I mentioned that in case it might shed light on what's going on :) It is connected to wifi but I didn't set it up to interface with the www. I think I'll switch back to the simple thermostat, just to diagnose a little...

I realise this isn't the first time someone ever asked about this and I did try a lot of the online resources but I am stuck clueless.

We've recently moved to our first home and it features an officially "non starter" boiler. When viewing, I thought I recognise the problem. New PCB and the system is running! Now I am trying to troubleshoot the next problem: The system works for most of the day alright. Heating and Hot water...
