    Cutting Long Lengths of Wood at Angles

    I think noggins would be easier. Attach a noggin to the first rafter and the last, join them with your track (or straight edge) and then go back and attach the noggins on the other rafters in between. The rafters won't be dead straight anyway so your profiled piece of wood would just follow the...

    Cutting Long Lengths of Wood at Angles

    Can't you just drop some noggins vertically off the side of the rafters to give a flat vertical surface that you could attach to?

    If this year is the end of the Tory government, how will you remember them?

    We've not really had a Tory government for the last 14 years. We had a Con/Lib coalition, and then we've had a series of centrist liberals as prime minsters, none of whom have been effective. The only prime minister who could claim to be conservative was Liz Truss, and she tried to do too much...

    Cutting Long Lengths of Wood at Angles

    The wood yard near me is a more helpful than yours then :( If you want to do the job yourself, you'd need a table saw. Just make sure that the depth of cut is sufficient for what you need with the blade at the 40 degree angle you want.

    Cutting Long Lengths of Wood at Angles

    A timber yard should be able to rip a length to that profile for you. They often cut for free if you're buying the wood from them.

    Pharma lying

    Annoyingly, if the supermarkets are selling at 2.5p, they’re buying for less.

    Suspended Floor insulation

    We did the celotex option to our suspended lounge floor. It's made virtually no difference to the temperature of the floor or the room.

    Pharma lying

    Big Pharma may have big profits (though they also take big risks), and as with all organisations, there will be some bad apples. But you've made my point perfectly with regard to public services being less efficient than privately operated services. If the NHS with its huge buying power can't...

    Pharma lying

    Except we don't and if we did, they wouldn't be as advanced as the Pharma companies we have. We're not exactly flooded with new and effective drugs from China and Russia, are we......

    Pharma lying

    If we didn't have Pharma companies we wouldn't have statins, blood pressure medications, HIV treatments, cancer drugs etc etc. and all the other medications that have helped billions of people.

    Being a Jew illegal.. sometimes

    There’s a massive difference between football hooliganism and anti semitism. Can you imagine if it had been a Sikh being told that he might be arrested because he wanted to cross a national front march? Probably not, because Jews are treated differently to other minorities.

    What the police should have done, is escort the Jewish man across the road to where he wanted to go.

    Mixer tap temperature fluctuates

    You mentioned you have basic flow control on the incoming supplies. Are you sure they're not pressure reducing valves? They may be working against each other, hence the regular pressure fluctuation.

    Banned from posting in some threads. What is the reason or explanation for this?

    I've not referenced your user name (space junkie) in any way, so how could this be abuse directed at you? Unless you admit that you've created a new user name to circumvent the forum rules?

    Banned from posting in some threads. What is the reason or explanation for this?

    What was Einstein's definition of insanity? 'Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results'. However, Roy Bloom/Himmie/etc etc would probably argue with Einstein because Einstein was Jewish and Roy Bloom is antisemitic.
