Didn't get that one thanks but it's all learning. In two minds really wether to follow buildiing maintenance whichd be a softer start/time to build toolbase or jump deep end and blag as a straight out finish chippy.

I'm having the same problem outlined above and had the council here the other day to look at it but still borked. It seems the fitters didnt flush the system when the boiler and rads were swopped out a year ago so the pressure sensor is prob blocked. However.. im a bit uncertain which vlaves...

Nice.. i had to read up on the double bevel, I didn't know you could get saws that swing both ways!

Noseall.. when you're doing those compound cuts for the jacks.. do you get em with the mitre saw or just put the bevel on a skillsaw and mark out?

Got an interview tomorrow so fingers crossed :) What about chargers.. ok for those to be 240v, as most of them seem to be so?

Yeah.. be worth brushing up if i found myself designing one.. but actually putting one in would be the first step for me! :)

I was actually going to ask how much of the trig was worked out beforehand :)

That's nice looking work mate. I always did want to do some roofing.. love all the angles. Closest i came was building a shed on my uncles allotment lol Did you work in woth other roofers first or just read up on it all? And does the speed square really do it all? :)

I'm going to have to build the power tool collection up gradually starting with the 110v drill and transformer i already own. Not sure which way to go with this.. out and out as a chippy or allrounder. Either way my honest approach doesn't look like it's going to get me an oppportunity so i'm...

Ah i remember the packaging but not the ad :) So.. i guess i'll have to sell myself as more seasoned and jump in the deep end. Get run a few times till i can fake it well enough...

doh :D

Big-All .. you lost me mate.. milk tray? :)

Indeed, such is my quandry. Twas ever thus and for sure i've helped a ton of boys coming the other direction into shuttering. Regarding type of work etc. i do very much enjoy the good finish but am not good/experienced enough to go my own at that level. I've got a lot to learn and need to build...

Ahhh right. I didn't consider the impact of Carillion (which doesn't affect our game so much). Good shout thanks on the voltage so I may as well stick to 110v as default for corded. I already have the transformer and my sds is 110 anyway but it's gonna take me a while to build up a proper...

A lot of what i've been applying for fit that description but no bites so far. That's what gave me the idea really.. they did the bathrooms and kitchens here a little while back as part of the decent homes programme and i had to keep butting in the prevent the fitter taking crappy shortcuts...

Also, can anyone give me an idea of what an essential starter kit might look like?

I've been a shuttering chipppy for the last 15+ years and have had enough of it. I've always wanted to do nicer work with good finishes and the cold is creeping into my bones so i want to get myself a job as a multitrader, preferably with the emphasis on carpentry.. Can i get a few tips on how...

Haha yeah definitely sounding a bit Ardman isn't it :D

Thanks.. the rivet sounds good and would make for a nice flat stop but i'd be concerned at it working loose over time. I did think of crimping a gear cable tidy in the end but didnt for that reason. I'm wondering about something self tightening, or maybe i could add a bolt/clip under the rivet...

HNY all .. the pull switch in my bathroom is in a bad spot. Hanging freely it is just offset from the room corner by the door and so was always caught behind the door as you opened it. Tiring of that i eventually fitted a pulley wheel to the wall so now it passes through that and hangs more...
