I think I've got one of these new with tags somewhere (can't remember why I bought 2), so if anyone else was keen DM me :) SW London

Something like this.

I just don't know anyone that's ever used them to know if they're any good for doing ~40min cycles

Any good backpacks you've used?

Anyone have a backpack for a dog (cocker spaniel).

Also be super interested if anyone else has something and whether to get one that goes on the front or the back and which brands you can recommend.

Mind sharing the link to which you bought, they seem much more effective. Though I definitely don't have as many so could be related.

Aha, thought I'd order some after this review.
Just went to check on them and saw 2 walking across it, struggling, but then fly off.

4.6* on amazon, not sure how - and yes I did peel the sticker off

The overwintered ones I'm hardening off, bit scared to leave them out for the aforementioned slug and snail issue (never seen so many snails until I moved in here) but at the same time green flies have just reappeared (think I've caught them early) and fungus gnats are spreading (no joy with coffee, apple vinegar traps) despite drying everything out and when necessary only watering from the bottom

And like KatBalou, everything I grew from seed this year is stuck at 2 inches

I've been pleasantly surprised by the win wings, got them on my gravel bike and they do a good job of keeping me clean (do nothing for a rider behind though)
Not sure the front one does much though

Original Post

Did this over the nice weather bank holiday.

For my first go at woodworking I'm pretty happy with it.

Thanks to those that helped (general tips, recommendation of kreg accu cut, new blades, and joining help)

The sides, bottom and back are glued together and dowel covered screws. The top is just 4 dowels at the minute so it can be popped on and off to make it easier to attach to the wall.

Debating whether to give it a really solid sand and then an oil or just leave it. I was going to just leave it but the dowels don't match as well as hoped (should really have done a practice job).
I got a bit of scorching from the groove, not too sure why, probably pushing with the accu cut too much.

Going to keep an eye out for a cheap router to do the edges too.

Weighs 4.6kg so by the time a bike is on it will be pretty heavy so will need to find something sturdy to attach it to. None of the planned walls are painted yet though so will come to that much later

When I had three 5G broadband I bought a unifi access point, the range is far superior. The ones with wifi5 are probably fairly cheap to pick up now

You will likely need a finer tooth circular saw blade for finish cuts.

Will these be okay or is it one of those it's worth spending more on? Blade that came with the saw is just 16.

thanks, I do have a tendency to over think and research things. I think I just read that this shouldn't be used on external or ground floor rooms as it attracts damp but as you say it shouldn't be a big job

Pain to get to but seems decent if I can get under £300? Should get me through my first couple CX leagues

-=-=Update-=-=
I failed, tried £350 went for £380, saves me a trip to swindon I suppose. Dont think summer league starts till June or July

hello, sorry, me again

Circling back to this issue - https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/178667/?offset=44575#17332206

So I cleaned up with the HG mould spray (which I was super impressed by, sprayed, left 30 mins and came back and it was all gone, gave a final wipe over and no mould).

Album of photos here - added a few comments

Equipment thus far

• Carlite bonding
  
• Gyproc Easifill 60 Filler
  
• hawk and trowel
  
  • various wallpaper scrapers
    
  • scrim tape
    
  • drill atachment mizing paddle and bucket
    
    

Questions:

• How much further to hack around? If it feels a little hollow on tapping should I look to remove or just try and not disturb it?
  
• Looks like the carlite stuff I picked up isn't going to be particularly suitable as it will react with the salts in the old house so should stick with lime mix
  
• any suggestions on what I should be using for the different types of cracks and holes I have?
  
• anything else I should pick up? pva glue? premade mixes
  
• is everything going to be reversible I eff up and want to start again
  
  

Going to continue to read and watch youtube but you guys are always fab

I'm looking for something a lot racier but this seems good for a popular forum bike

good looking bike that

Thanks all, a bunch of respectable home improvement forumers so appreciate the help.

I'll just give the ceiling a lick of paint, look for a better mirror and perhaps redo the bath panelling. Got so much to do around the rest of the house I'm not going to be short of projects.

Project minimum spend bathroom

Moved into my first home and the start of the year and done embarrassingly little - partly no money partly as I wanted to do some research and get a feel for the place.

Bathroom is obviously so will eventually get redone but likely not for a 3-4 years so want some ideas on what's my best bang for buck upgrades.

Slowly collecting tools and would like to learn how to do a lot myself current thinking is

• Repanel bath tub
  
  • Marine ply
    
  • colour?
    
  • stye?
    
    • vertical panels
      
    • geometric
      
    • perimeter square
      
• repaint ceiling
  
  • just classic white presumably
    
• repaint tiles
  
  • lots or just the band
    
• repaint skirting board
  
• repaint door
  
• build undersink unit
  
• move sink so not in the corner
  
• new mirror
  
  

what size it? Im 6ft2 and on the look out for a cx to give it a go this year

like the look of this TCX SLR but heard definitely got turned by this Boone

wanted something cheap so I don't get annoyed when I break it but inevitable budget creep is setting in (despite being quite tight right now)

KREG Rip-Cut just arrived, can't wait to get started.

I also picked up a KREG Drawer Slide Jig for free too which anyone is welcome to borrow

Oh, maybe this is a good cheap option coming up then

nm, didn't realise I ventured onto the Northern Ireland site

Far from a new build, not sure there's a right angle in the entire place.
I was just thinking this morning what I am best aligning the picture rails with, the floor, ceiling, somewhere in-between or absolute level. I think I'll go with ceiling as that will be most noticeable

KREG Rip-Cut

looks good and bookmarked it.

However, it presumably relies on the side it's push against to be straight, as opposed to clamping a straight edge (perhaps with help from a rafter square) and pushing against that?

Total newbie here

cypress road

Ah yes, I remember someone saying that when I first got my survey, tried to do some hill sprints up but after a few months off I only managed 2 aha

Your difficult bit will likely be getting a solid connection to the wall once you've made the unit.

one step at a time lol (I might not even get approval from the GF to put anything up), I think it will be just for my carbon road bike, not sure I'd trust it with the heavy gravel bike

thanks,

I'm slowly googling all these terms and adding them to my trello :)

Just got my first place (hence budget) around Crystal Palace/Thornton Heath

Think I'll walk before I try and run RE finger joints, do look nice though.
