No, S.Wales and NO - it wasn't a sheep :lol: :lol:

Dunno. Luckily I haven't seen her for years :D

Thanks. I thought it might need priming first.

I'm not sure if it'll work with wood but back in a previous life when I was a toolmaker to get a good finish on a countersunk hole in metal we would put a piece of emery cloth between the job and the drill. It stopped the 'chattering' and gave a lovely smooth countersink.

Many years ago I actually met a girl with a hairy chest. It very nearly did scare me for life :shock:

Funny how you mention pink overalls. A few years ago before we got taken over by a big multi-national the company I work for had red overalls with high vis reflective stripes. After a few boil washes they always faded :oops:

My wife would :| You should see the job she did on our wardrobe :cry:

I need to tile a small patch of MDF. It'll only be three maybe four tiles. Do I need to prepare the MDF in any way first? Perhaps rough the surface up a bit to give the tile adhesive something to grab on or would I need to paint it with MDF primer first?

I've had a look at previous posts and there's been a few different answers. Basically I need to paint some MDF walls in a small holiday chalet. Some of the walls are in a toilet. I was planning on using Johnstones vinyl silk which some posts on here claim doesn't need a primer on the MDF first...

It's simple as I found out when I had to go through the tunnel - you can pay online after your trip. Just go to https://www.dartford-crossing-charge.service.gov.uk/Home/Choose after your trip and click on the 'Make a one off payment'. I think you get 24 hours to pay after you've used the...

Hmmm.....Just got an image of being chased around the field by an inverter :shock:

The DC in is around 1000V and the outgoing varies depending on the DNO.

This is a warning sign on the outside of an inverter cubicle on a solar farm I worked at. It seems every cubicle by this company (a very well known multi national, not sure if I should name them as they employ me!) in the UK has the same sign. Do you think something was lost in translation??

That is very true. I work on HV/EHV transformers mainly at power stations and sub stations and the differences in rules is staggering. Even simple things like inductions at sites varies from 1/2 hour to 6 hours. Best one so far was, ' Wear overalls, boot and hard hat. See that big grey box? If...

I've just had a phone call from an asian guy telling me that I had a virus on my computer. According to him whenever anyone connects to the internet they connect to a central internet server called the WWW server. My PC then tells this central internet server that I have a virus and that server...

It's not surrounded with insulation but is against the inner face of the wall.

I'm looking for a water heater for the kitchen sink only in a small holiday chalet. Dafi do a 7.5kw for £50 but are they any good or should I go for something like an Ariston 10l tank unit? Anyone got any experience of Dafi water heaters?

Not sure. I'm at home at the moment. I'm hoping (work permitting) to get back down next week to finish off some other jobs. I'll check the MCB then.
