Hi Olli, if you don't mind me asking, could you provide (ordering) details on those trash bin housing kits? I'm in Belgium so it's a long shot if they'd deliver, but these things look exactly like what I've (well, the wife) been looking for for ages. BTW, did you bolt them to the pavers? I've...

My Hultafors TALMETER tape measure. I feared it was gonna be a gimmick, but I needed to spend money on 'a proper one' (after the freebies had let me down one too many times) and all the other 'proper ones' costed roughly the same, so I took the gamble, and, well, there's no going back now.

Well, you'd certainly be making a run afterwards.

Since you're rethinking everything anyway I feel brave enough to offer a suggestion that now will no longer result in you hating me forever 😀. To fully satisfy your OCD (and mine :lol:), I'd - definitely label each drawer and - make the labels business card sized, i. e. just a tad more smaller...

I do not know why you clamped that piece of wood to the windowsill. What I do know is that this is where I'd bump my head, repeatedy, while installing that corner. (Strangely enough, the most fun I had when building our house - well, the parts that were not taken care of by contractors - was...

A point well made, I'd say. (Joking aside, just hope it isn't a place holder for some bad news, which is what those one-letter posts are too often about)

It wasn't until I got to 'links' that I realized this wasn't still about getting rid of moles :D

You mean the Caprice, right?

Yeah! (Not enough bricks, that is)

Slowly scrolling my way through your – epic, need it be said? - post, I saw the top of this picture appear on my screen, and for a brief moment, potentially helped by being conditioned by how things usually turn out for you. I thought I saw the wheel of one of your mountain bikes dangling from...

Re: From losing everything to being cash-poor and shop-rich in "only" five years! considering the pictures you've shared of your hand, mostly after sticking it into rotating bits, we can't be certain that was a typo :eyecrazy:

That wahoo/ludo game is called, loosely translated, "Dude, don't get worked up so much" in Dutch. (As well as in the German original, Google just told me) Never was a game more correctly labelled!

Actually, cross-bond is different from Flemish bond. Kruis/Cross: Vlaams/Flemish: There is great irony in all this since I've lived in Flanders practically most of my life, and I had never seen Flemish bond prior to finding this thread. Of course now I'm on a mission to find old buildings...

Re: From losing everything to being cash-poor and shop-rich in "only" five years! Thank you for your elaborate answer. The beer thing is indeed a rabbit hole that can quickly derail a thread - not to mention a persons' budget :eek: - but then again the GJ is all about rabbit holes ("Damn you...

Re: From losing everything to being cash-poor and shop-rich in "only" five years! Is it wrong of me that I now want to know all about that beer collection :lol: ?
