I didn’t have time to do it so put it into a friendly local garage Guy there took a quick look and said “hmm, water pump pulley looks a bit of an angle.. leave it with us” When I picked it up he said “bloody hell, it was a good job you towed it down; I reckon the impeller was just about the...

Or don’t paint the architrave and skirting. Use natural wood Painted wood is frequently a travesty - While there is nothing else in the place (not even doors) run round with a paint sprayer. Insanely quick when you don’t have to mess about masking off things like skirting and covering floors...

They’re going to spend their life being covered in water, salt, baking at several hundred degrees and being banged around a brake caliper bringing a couple of tons of metal to rest; they don’t need mollycoddling in the box, don’t worry Every set of boards I’ve bought recently has been shrink...

minor point of note, current standard is 270mm (why they sell 100mm base layer rolls for between joists and 170mm rolls for over them) though I certainly wouldn’t tell anyone not to install 300mm if they wanted to..
