Long shot but… Anyone interested in a group buy for a multi-stem Amelanchier Lamarckii? I really want a couple but I definitely don’t want 8 to meet the minimum order requirement

Exactly that it turns out! Thanks

AC - 600V

Why would a multimeter show zero between these two wires albeit power a gu5.3 fixture fine

Lovely - thanks both

Replacing some very old halogen transformer spotlights with newer ones that can take LED bulbs. It’s a timely job too as a few of the transformers look like they’ve melted.
I’m stuck now though because the old wires that ran into the transformer are both brown wires - no way to tell if one is live and one is neutral (which seems to be required by the new fixture). Is there anyway to tell which is which so I can fit the new one?

McGlynns / King Charles I both good old school pubs

Bought back in August. We’ve now got a 5-week old baby which means the chances of us making this are slim to none

In an ideal world someone offers to swap these tickets for their July/August date…

Row A, Dress Circle, face value £125 each. Will email the tickets across on Thursday

Second this recc- we used Benjamin Moore Advance on the skirting/trim in our place. The levelling on it is brilliant and it goes on really nicely. Its held up really well in the hallway where it gets bashed into daily. Downsides are a quoted 16hr cure time, and it's on the watery side so we needed a second coat

It was a ludicrous price, worse still as I paid even more for resale tickets through AXS.

Any offers on these?

Bought these for my parents for the original October date but big Phil caught covid. So things got rescheduled and AXS seemingly don’t notify you of the new date.

Tldr: 2 tickets for Genesis’ Last Domino Tour available on Thu 24th March at the o2. Section 103, Row Q. Face Value was £187 each. Anyone fancy for £100 each?

PM'd

Anyone shifting a X100V?

Booked two tickets ages ago, completely forgot, and now can't make the date :-(

Tickets are Level 2 Reserved Seating.

These were £25.85 each, it's sold out now so how's £40 for both? Will transfer the tickets to your DICE app.

Going to give inset a go, appreciate the tips re MDF. Have you found edge-banding necessary, even with MR MDF?

Do like @bq 's suggestion re false backs which would have been an easy option if I didn't need to hide some other tv gizmos in the cupboard

Only going to floor level as the skirting on this wall is permanently coming off and I’m going to open up the bricked up fireplace.

Tips all gratefully received - going to give it a whirl and try inset doors.

Assuming that removing and altering the shelf is better than trying to do anything in situ, how best to remove? I’m thinking multi tool + flush blade to cut it out and through the screws that I can’t get to

I've a decent chunk of that kit but not the circular or jointing jig!

I can't remove the shelves easily as they're screwed in from the sides which had me thinking about doing it in situ and adapting what's already there. Crudely I was thinking of using the jigsaw to take c.19mm off the bottom two shelves (doors to hide any sins) and making the doors out of MDF.

Would also move the beam up a shelf

Have been looking too and was drawn towards the Dyson ones for looks and hot/cold fan functionality. They don't tend to do well in tests as a purifier though (Which and Wirecutter). The Top Which picks are Electriq EAP500HC and Blueair Classic 605. I don't mind the look of the Xiaomi effort but no idea how good it is!

Weekend sourdough was a disaster.

Haven’t made one for six months. Different flour to my usual Shipton Mill. Ended up way too hydrated. Starter also didn’t really ever get going.

How easy would it be to add cupboard doors to some framed alcove shelving? Ideally flush with the existing shelves. They run floor to ceiling and I need somewhere to hide wires!

Was hoping this was straight forward but the two quotes I’ve had start at £1k. Making me wonder how far wrong I could go with a jigsaw and some MDF

I'd go for some tall ornamental grasses in those beds e.g. Stipa Gigantea or Karl Foerster but might work less well if you're after something more cottage-garden in style

Ahhh Jos

Feels like an incredibly stupid call from Merc
