  • Ok, done deal.

    How's it coming along? Finished yet?

  • That is beautiful - your work?

  • Hahah I wish - if you find my shed thread there’s more deets including a YouTube link. I think it’s Washington state -looks out o er the water - architect designed for himself as a studio with a flip down bed

  • Can’t get very cold there, otherwise I’d want the burner at floor level where it could do some good.

  • That burner puts out a lot of heat. Freestanding, it will have no problem turning that room in to a sauna

  • I dunno, I’ve never seen one mounted above floor level, and I’m guessing there’s a good reason for that.

  • Get this in the 40k kitchen thread. Lovely

  • What’s my best bet for fixing this? Had a stair gate here but the 100 year old plaster has come away. Seems to be an annoying feature in our house. So I guess I need to fix deeper into the brick. But I need to use the same location / hole, and fox the plaster that’s come away. Correct to:

    Drill deeper, vacuum dust, fill with no more nails, stick a rawlplug in with a screw in, leave to cure. Then fix plaster with polyfilla. Then unscrew the screw, hang stair gate, tighten screw??

    Needs to be strong as it is used a lot!

  • Common in boats and other small spaces.

    The location of most of 'em are limited by the fact that they tend to sit in re-purposed fireplaces. Modern freestanding burners tend to be a bit higher to make loading easier.

  • Yeah I assumed the height was for convenience.

  • Surely these things are kicking out a ton of particulate pollution in such a small cabin.

    *not an actual ton.

  • I’d be more concerned about the CO from the short flue tbh

  • I'd be happy to hear it's not an issue but I've seen quite a lot of chatter about high emissions from these things.

  • Jim Cutler of Cutler Anderson - overlooks puget sound. He was part of the team that designed a house for Bill Gate's at one point. Sorry I know this is the wrong thread.

  • Has anyone tried the Saxton blades professional circular saw TCT blades?

    https://www.saxtonblades.co.uk

    Any other recommendations for 190mmx30mm bore blades? To fit my new Milwaukee saw, will be looking for probably an 80t and a 40t.

    Obviously narrow blade and kerf are important.

  • Guess he did it himself.

  • I forgot to get these with the voucher code, but they still seem like a good deal.

    Am I missing anything?

  • Depends on the installation and how much you open the door. If the draw is crap - and it will be in that cabin because the flue is short - then it might be bad. In general, obvs it is worse than not having one at all, but it's better than an open fire etc.

  • What's all this short flu chat about then?

    Is it like long covid?

  • Wish December’s flu had been short !

  • If you're putting a stair gate in the same place, save the proper fix until you're done with the stairgate.

    Screw in a length if 2x1 batten with >=4 screws, and attache the Stargate to that.

    That way, you spread the force across lots of holes, whereas the gate alone might be putting it all through one screw at a time.

  • Two references to sci-fi - brilliant😁

  • We’ve had issues with our garage roof since moving in a few months back. The water that was coming in was due to blocked guttering which we cleared and all was well. A month on and it started to happen again. One of the issues is that the gutter is a bugger to clear out as it’s partially covered (see pic) which makes getting into it hard. Is the best course of action to cut this back a bit to expose the gutter more which will make clearing it out easier. Anything else I can do to keep crap out of here?

  • Put some sort of mesh over the gap it to stop debris getting in but allowing water to flow into the gutter?
