no- not my business. VacForm is used in Theatre/ film and TV to create sets. (Instant cobbled streets) But an ex was a scenic artist and I have worked with a few. Making good looking stuff with junk is what they do. Thinking about it, look at foam board , it’s cardboard sandwiching a...

What are your skills like? I’d suggest metal is a poor choice due to weight. You could carve something out of clay or air dry clay, in negative, and cast it in Jesmonite with an internal reinforcement? Or cast sections of jesmonite to assemble your design. If you have the means, you could cut...

So is the pipe coming FROM the floor to a stop valve and onwards? Or coming from ABOVE down towards the valve? you could fit an inline stop valve/ check valve in there, compression fitting. No soldering

Maybe bases for something?

I’d mask, move them away, plus take care.

My Bosch doesn’t.

If we’re talking motorbikes, 1956 Triumph Tiger Cub. Still got it. (Plus another one, several other bikes…)

Can you buy doors (new) the size that you need? Yes, you can cut the existing one, but it’s way easier to build a carcass for existing doors. I had the hell of an issue when I changed my Bosch slimline’s position due to existing pipe work. There are dishwashers that use drawers, not doors.

I’d be worried about screwing into an unknown concrete floor. You could hit a pipe, possibly breach the DPM. You could use building adhesive to secure the batten down? Is there room to fit a wider batten to the floor? If you can hide a batten inside the base of the wardrobe you’ll have a...

Terrace houses often had an outhouse next to a coal store where a “copper” could have a fire to heat water for washing. If they were lucky, there was an outside toilet with a tap. My house as a child was a post war semi, possibly just prewar? The washing machine was a twin tub that lived in the...

“Out of the box” containers are freezing in winter, boiling in summer. So loads of insulation needed. We used them as storage and they are great, but to live in? As said, by the time you fix two together to have something wider than 7’8” you have to weld/bolt them together. Finding an engineer...

Get another couple of opinions from people that can see it? Personally, I would replace unless money is tight or you have a real love for the thing. A new frame will be thermally better, it will lock more securely, and probably be easier to open and close due to new tracks and wheels. The...

Trump complains that Obama “gave Iran $1.7 billion” (he released frozen money which was paid by Iran for weapons that the US did not deliver) One billion is one thousand million. Now, rather than free transit through the Straights of Hormuz, every ship has to pay between $1~2 million to...

The definition of a boat “A hole in the water which you fill with money”

Classic cars, or in my own case, classic bikes. Thankfully, the bottom has fallen out of the market and “investors” don’t buy classic vehicles like they used to. I just like doing up old bikes. A few years ago, fairly ordinary 50 year old bikes were bought and sold like paintings and never...

Use a bread knife to cut acoustic rockwool. It should be slightly larger than the gap and squeezes in, but don’t ram it in. If using plasterboard, mix up some plaster and “grout” the joints or where it touches the battens. The more airtight you can get the better. Fill the gaps in the floorboards.

Quite possibly my “MS” person had more than three vehicles? Or didn’t care An artist I know has Her initials and 4RT as her reg.

I’d start small and make a hole bigger until I had a better view? Using a vibrating cutting tool on the seams might help, avoiding the suspect areas. Those airbags for door and window fitting might help? Screwing a block to a safe area might help in levering up sections? I would guess that once...

Maybe the owner was a Mike Smith/ Madeline Shaw? Less concerned with the apparent age of the vehicle than having a private plate? My new to me 66 car was on a personal plate before I bought it. The PO retained the PP and sold it with it’s original No My old childhood neighbours were in the...

I bought new panels for my existing fence about a year ago. (6) When they were delivered, I mentioned to the delivery guy that I needed to cut one down. As they make them, he said that they would have made one to fit had I mentioned it, same price as the next size up, no more. Too late, and I...
