There was an incredible tumblr back in the day called Jeans and Sheux dedicated to this. Gutted it's no longer about

Found the tone of the Chip raise odd... especially the "after all we're going to the moon" and the calculator of how much your investment could be worth if they reach say a Monzo/Revolut/FreeTrade valuation

Maybe drop these guys an email re parts

Lovely chairs!

I think the one without wheels is an EA 207 or 208 (208 doesn’t swivel). One with wheels should be a EA 217

Herman Miller and Vitra are both licenced manufacturers of Eames stuff so both are ‘Eames’

Top seller!

No luck - found this thanks to @tbc's cafe rod search suggestion but it's too bulky and with the brackets looks too industrial imo

Any idea where to find a rail and bracket like this? Have searched but everything seems to be either a lot chunkier or white plastic

Any steals @Tenderloin?

Any recommendations for cheap terracotta pots for outside, about 40cm?

With chest height weeds I doubt turning the soil will help much.

You might want to think about sheet/cardboard mulching the area. Will help with the weeds and get the soil ready for some planting in Spring.

Essentially lay cardboard down on the area, cover it with some organic matter, water it and let it breakdown over autumn and winter.

Thanks again - invaluable.

Have just scraped - Gardz'd - Filled -Sanded - Gardz'd the filled bits- 123'd.

Topcoat on tomorrow!

Thanks @Airhead. Thought I’d scraped all the bubbles but more have been popping up post-showering. The paint was coming off in ribbons revealing the original paint underneath it.

Have you found the 123+ better than the normal stuff? When would you use Gardz instead?

Thanks Airhead, good to know and makes life easier. Wasn't fun scraping off the affected area (literally hundreds of small bubbles all over the wall, real trypophobia trigger)

Interesting re Gardz - it is walls in question but filling was minimal. I thought it would be the undercoat because of the difference in how the walls reacted vs ceiling (no bubbles there). Both got a topcoat of Benjamin Moore Aura Bath and Spa but only the walls had an undercoat of Berger Matt Emulsion because the old paint was dark.

Anyone used Zinsser Bullseye 123 before? Does it need the full 7 days cure time before topcoating in emulsion?

I'm trying to rectify a poor bathroom job by our decorators - we were ending up with loads of small bubbles after showering, likely because the undercoat wasn't fully dry before topcoating. I was able to scrape off most of the affected areas so plan was the use Bullseye - let it dry - then repaint.

Looked into this a few months back when we moved... ended up getting a second hand Ligne Roset Multy. It's really comfortable as a sofa but comes into its own as a bed.

Also looked at the Muji T2 which is great but wasn't as comfortable as a sofa (didn't try it as a bed). Heal's Oswald sofabed also good for something more 'sofa' looking

Absolutely bonkers - have loved this

The chirping around the bat is unreal. I love it

Good knock

But also some awful umpiring and a waste to prep a pitch that won’t take the contest to day 4

Atherton’s nailed it.

Some contrast to the first test where winning the toss meant you got an absolute road for two days

Haha also definitely something to be said for batting aggressively on this deck. Batting today has made the pitch look worse than it is

Absorbing watching. Much prefer this type of pitch vs the absolute road on day 1 last of the last test

That looks beaut!

Anyone have any experience with Hay or Muuto sofas (specifically the Hay Silhouette or Muuto Outline)?

I thought both looked great in person but have no idea how they’ll wear. Second-hand Hay sofa’s on eBay etc always seem to look battered

Interesting - with all the other wet ingredients (yolks, butter) the final dough hydration in that recipe is effectively > 80%.

I'd suspect that the MM flour was near it's limits in terms of hydration by Step 6. Maybe hold back water at Steps 7 & 8. Add just enough such that it looks like the canadian flour dough at that stage
