I've done a few builds in Australia over the years, and I would say that is indeed a good question and I guess building practices vary over the world. A friend of mine used to live in Hong Kong, and told me that the usual practice for a bathroom was to lay all the tiles in an empty room, then...

Haha, sage and true advice indeed, Geoff , as always. Yet another dream of mine, destroyed, dashed, bereft... truly demolished. Oh... and now I feel another limerick coming on....

You've gotta be kidding me ! You were on Lake Limerick , and no-one decided "Hey, I'll go with that !!!" I am no great writer of limericks, but: Challenge Accepted ! There once was a man called Geddy T Who rode his bike so gleefully He didn’t warm his tire so ended up in a mire and decided...

I collect parking tickets, quite the expensive hobby.

Seems a little undercooked ? (yeh yeh too obvious a joke) :sigh: We have these ads that frequently appear on Australian TV for Duracell Energiser Batteries. They usually have some battery powered Bunny operating past all other batteries etc etc ( do you guys have similar ?) I have written a...

Wow I'm sure MGT will be thrilled with that option although a sacrifice/inconvenience for yourself. But this is of course what us decent guys do for our other halves. Might I just with all due respect say- you have made the temporary situation just a little bit too good. Did you at least make...

Great progress ! Forgive me for my lazy question- I sometimes forget what I own in my own shed so have no hope of remembering what's in yours ! I know you have a ride on lawn mower that we discussed, have you considered getting an orchard size (so, smaller) tractor ? You can never have too many...

scary times for you, for sure !!!! Hopefully for not too much longer according to all news reports (that do not originate from your country). Wishing you well - (you being a bystander civilian in a warzone). Stay strong !

Oops I've been spending waaaay too much time on car detailing forums. My first thought was how much of a shine a 6'6" polisher could lodge. And furthermore.... what epic havoc were you planning with said tool at the bootfair ??? In all seriousness, loving the progress and updates :)

Oh my Geoff- surely not a drama queen ? :) Yep, appreciate the success of the first step , ......................now you gotta err... queen up ??? and drill those holes !!!

Not sure if I fully understand what you were trying not to scratch at the top of the grill opening but if I interpreted you correctly and if this also applies in your case, (I've found it works very well for me)- and that is to place the blue 3M type scotch painters tape all over the metal you...

I think I also missed it, but it has been explained to me many times by the youngsters around me: This Is The Internet You put yourself out there, you will get responses from: Normal people Crazy people people who were normal yesterday, but are temporarily crazy today. eg Their partner just got...

Well you might want to google me on this , but my understanding is that Phillips are actually *designed* to slip if "too much torque" is applied. Then there is Japan's version of Phillips ( is it JAS? Different enough to slip even more if you're mixing tools/screws) , but my very, very...

I have friends in London , and apparently if anyone sees more than 3 snowflakes the whole city shuts down. (I am somewhat convinced they were joking). In Australia, we have a very small portion of our continent where, perhaps, you will get enough snow to ski on for a very short time period , if...

Sweet ! (literally) If it were me I would try chewing the sugar cane. Never tried it , but it's on my bucket list YMMV !!! Progress: Looking good all round :)
