    Blockwork half course & '100mm' blocks

    Give it up dude. Your original post was not as clear as you seem to think it was. I’ve never seen a disc cutter/cut off saw/grinder that is/was suitable for wet cutting not have a hose attachment. Suggesting wetting blocks directly just leaves a risk that someone could do just that with an...

    Slow going - my double storey extension build

    Time for a mini update with some progress with the garage build. Been a busy couple of months with a few tips abroad for business and pleasure, and the weekend weather hasn’t often been kind to make progress. I got the rest of the brickwork done with the engineering bricks, which takes me up to...

    Blockwork half course & '100mm' blocks

    You’ve got to remember mate, this is a DIY forum. Some people won’t know the difference between a cut-off saw and a grinder (not suggesting that’s the case for the OP). Like I said previously, I don’t think you meant to suggest using an unsuitable electric cutter/grinder, but it could be read...

    Blockwork half course & '100mm' blocks

    While I appreciate it might not have been what you meant, I too read your post as suggesting to add water (onto the blocks) for a not suitable cutter. I would imagine that any cutter suitable for doing wet cuts would have a hose attachment on it…like the two examples you highlighted. I think...

    What have you been doing today?

    Yesterday I went to my first Berkeley Enthusiasts Club AGM. Unfortunately the poor weather over the weekend deterred a lot of folks from bringing their own cars. I won the award for most original restoration... still work to go with the Berk - needs a proper paint job and a new seat.

    Hot Tub Concrete Base Query

    Probably a plastic soffit board will do, as long as you put plenty of wooden steaks behind it for support.

    What have you been doing today?

    Track day at Oulton Park. Had my first trip in to the gravel as well, got beached and caused a red flag. Car fine, ego severely bruised!

    What have you bought today?

    Yes that’s pretty much correct. Shame it didn’t work out for the company, they made some beautiful machines.

    Well played. Just bought him/her some bird seed :)

    Buying a used kitchen

    Unless you have a nice square/rectangular room, I would recommend buying a much larger used kitchen than you actually need so that you can play around with the configurations and get everything to fit. Like kitchen Tetris

    New Extension Straight Wall Query

    D’oh. I guess you’ll have to live with a wonky room.

    Liverpool Ramming

    Maybe, but reports say the guy was from Liverpool…I would assume therefore that he would know that road and that it leads to the waterfront. Also all the people heading towards him might be a sign there was a big crowd of people in the area ahead.

    This person drove towards the crowds and the busiest area.

    Liverpool Ramming

    The whole city centre was closed to traffic from yesterday morning. However, being the city centre there are dozens of car parks (public and residential) and loads of on street parking. If you'd parked your car in the city on Sunday night onwards, you would have been inside the closed/blocked...
