Freddy - the fact that the same guy wrote the above and you cant see the inherent contradiction contained therein means you're just about smart enuff to spot a missing comma.

No you numpty i'm saying that theres a fair amount of 'heavy traffic' that is liable to pass by in future, and not every labourer comes to work without a hangover.

Hi folks, neighbours are making an extension, replacing a fence with their wall. All well and good, but i'm looking at the construction of the wall and am a bit worried. The rest of their victorian house is double layered brick. It has withstood direct attack by scaffolding poles and...

p.s. forgot to mention its about 40m end to end.

Am having an extension built and now looks like a good time to run some swa along a brick wall ready for a spark to plumb in both ends Question is how many core to cover all bases? as it may be an idea to tap into the cable half way along to feed some lights or power a pond pump. Also...

thanks, will go for it if it can last 4 years in a van. -but if it had batterycharger built in (and maybe even a radio), i'd get it even it was a useless hoover :) b/

the best place to start building things inspired by wylie kyote's aquisitions from acme corporation are in my view...abandoned washing machines (sensors, actuators, pumps, timers, clips, ducts etc...etc...) the impact is useful in dismantling these, and if all else fails it sure makes...

Lathe, tig welder, vices, clamps, bench drill, metal bender/cutter, solder station, angle grinder, impact wrench, oil free air compressor (50 litres). 2 grand should be enough, or better still ram raid your local machine mart b/

Hiya, my gas oven starts alright (pushing knob whilst valve open - and autospark going) but maybe 5 -10 seconds after leaving it, it cuts out. Is this a heat sensor problem? mayme dislodged or cacked up in grease? b/

the tv outlet will also have satellite connecion, as I understand it, its sends 18v to the LNB in the dish. Can i take it for sure that I'm ok in all regards as long as i follow BS 7671 to the letter? (the oulet will be within 3m from the sink). b/

your problem if you really wanted to keep chipboard near water is that you'd have to waterseal behind the chipboard... around all its edges etc, which means taking it it all out to do so.... and waterseal aint that cheap. did you check if the board under the bath rim got rot as well...

i've tried my hand at many things, but plastering has the toughest learning curve of all - like a cross between a 1hour bout of judo and alternating playing darts/snooker...at the same time. top tip -leave your phone switched off when you start :D

i think BUFF is the term used on the tin of powder - useful for that sandy look. A bit of seaweed strewn about and you'd think you're still on holiday 8)
