Got another section of the drive in today, think I spent longer sitting staring at it working out how I want the falls and blends to go than actually laying it 😅 Defo beer o'clock 👍

Made his day!? I think you made his year! :ROFLMAO:

Thanks for the tip, will look into that as I'm not up to speed on this stuff. There is a clay pipe near the top chamber, I wonder if that could have been a vent of sorts 🤔

Thats the one, well partially at least, easier to form an concrete than brick up and backfill the voids under the existing slab. Loose and crumbling brickwork (someone previously repaired but didnt use engineering bricks) over the top 3 or so courses made the decision for me, after id bought the...

Today in the garage i shuffled tools, outside the garage on the drive i shuffled **** n piss 😭 😅 Soooo glad to have that stinky job in the rear view

Having looked through some of your other videos I think id keep the shed (I love it) and make good/update as you want and stays in keeping with the area. Having a big sliding door in the back wall would let air blow through in the summer, an insulated clean room say 1/4 of the floor space would...

Throw up some pics of what you're dealing with, sometimes the overwhelm can get a man down the rabbit hole. I find if im starting to overthink or catastrophise tasks just getting going can help, as can outside views (y)

i am also owned 😭😅

Looks good from here :bounce: Fine line tape for the win for anything tight or detailed, demasks super clean (y)

Jeez, thats ********, hope recovery goes easy for you mate 🙏. I dunno if it helps anyone but ive had various back issues over time, have been quite sedentary recently due to a bs night time cough that stopped me sleeping, 2 weeks of sleep dep is no joke, plus another 2/3 weeks recovering from...

Its not often a guy has to chop 3" off his wood. But needs must 🤣👍

A previous custodian took 'oil based' paint literally 😅 , fingers crossed for you that they left the shim stack in the draw ;)(y)

Helped a buddy with a 2011 1.4 Audi A1 yesterday, battery run flat and confirmed not charging. Load tested alternator power/ground with a head light bulb and only saw about 0.2v drop = main wires good, probed signal wire with a scope (plug connected, Linbus) picture perfect trace = Linbus is up...

If you've not already been there Tonys archive is well worth a visit, seem to have a fair bit on Dalton machines, first ive heard of them tbh. https://www.lathes.co.uk/dalton/index.html

Plus 1 for the insulation. What you suggested sounds much like a warm roof over here, is what im considering for the new roof efforts. General plan is to junk the existing (including the plastic nonsense), go up, add some pitch possibly and insulation. Just looking for some temp relief for now 🥵

On the cheaper side, foam filled aluminium slats, being low on overhead height is one of the reasons I went for the roller shutter, very convenient but by design a thin section. Maybe a bigger hightop van parked across the door mad max style is the answer :ROFLMAO:

Did some messing with the garage roof today with regards to knocking down temps, started by throwing some OSB offcuts up there on top of side ended 4x2, just to shade a small section and note the effect. Shot from inside 30 mins later, around 4 o'clock with ambient temps about 28c, If you...

yep, before then I need to attend to the roof really, single skin with no insulation, osb and felt overlay, is all old an ideally id like to replace and raise it some, it gets very hot, something like 45c surface temp internally, acts like a giant radiator. The shed is a hodgepodge and full so a...

walked into shop, checked temp, 34c, walked back into house, grabbed a beer, fired up the projector and watched Utubes about Roman surveying 😅

Thinking about it, a transfer gauge would be a quick and easy to use tool to check machine twist on a ship. A simple rectangular frame that sits on 3 points and indicates the 4th, set zero from a reference (surface plate) and place on the machine, adjust the indicated foot to zero, return gauge...
