    Kitchen and Dining Room into one.

    Two out of the 3 end panels cut and fitted. Not bad for a gasher, if I say so myself. Had a bit of tearing on the veneer at the bottom, but it's cleaned up ok. Asking for help on that in the carpentry forum. Any advice welcome.

    Veneered MDF: Crosscutting Is Chipping The Veneer

    Hi all, I'm cutting end panels for my kitchen reno, which I thought were patterned mdf. Turns out the face side is veneered. Ripping is clean, but crosscutting is tearing the veneer. I did one before twigging, and i have repaired it with a light sand and the touch up kit that was provided, and...

    Greece's long term bonds are doing better than America's. China is dumping 0.75 $Tr as we type. "Hey Zorba, we aren't the stupidest finance managing country anymore!"

    Kitchen and Dining Room into one.

    Few family things got in the way these last few days, but did a few 'nothing to see here' jobs when I could. But now all the cabinets are having an airing and levelling, and they seem pretty good. Next will be holes in the backs etc, for water and waste.

    True, of course, but I was alluding to the fact that if you turn left or right off the main mall, it gets iffy really quick...

    Kitchen and Dining Room into one.

    update: not much progress- been under the weather with man flu. However, I am feeling pretty good today about my very mediocre DIY skills. The last pic above shows where the dining room floor ends... I had to cut the planks longways to fit to the then dining room wall, so all tongues cut off...

    Extending a t&g floor after taking a wall down.

    Hi All, I have taken a wall down, and retained a not very old T&G oak floor one side. The tongues were all cut on the last row against the wall when that floor went down, so nothing to T&G to in the new side. Of course I can get a threshold, but I am willing to do the graft if needed to...

    OMG indeed

    NATO's not 'an army', it's a coalition. There's no need for a European army. A 'European Treaty Organisation', maybe. UK France Germany, Norway, Sweden and Poland might well commit to that. That's a well bloodier nose than Ukraine can give (and boy, they have done well); with 2 nuclear powers to...

    OMG indeed

    If I were Goldberg, I'd say, "So if there was no classified intel on the chat, I can include it all in my next book? Or put it on social media- if you're positive it's all unclassified? That ok? Shall I wait till noon tomorrow for a reply; or can I just go public now?"
