thanks, didn't know about those joiners, bit more than budget allows atm but will set up some ebay alerts. Dowel jig looks decent though, presumably can be used in general for drilling perpendicular holes?

The groove is going to be the challenge..I was thinking I'd probably have to saw it in half at 45deg and just flip one side over. Piece will probably be too wide to use the mitre saw but maybe you can do it in 2 cuts if you flip it round? Otherwise will have to see what features the incoming circular saw has and just clamp (oh..clamps!) a piece of wood to it

but, but, this is a cycling forum..

Hi all,

I'm taking a break from stripping wallpaper and don't want to delve into the world of plastering/skimming/lining paper yet so going to start a new project.

I'd like to have a go at making this.

I picked up these heavy wood kitchen worktops for free (don't have a car so walked 2 miles with them and my forearms ached for a week) which I think will be suitable.

For tools I have:

• cheap mitre saw I got for free
  
• £36 Aldi drill and impact driver
  
• detail sander I got for free but the velcro is shot
  
• bunch of chisels and hand saws
  
• tape measures
  
• dust mask, safety glasses, earmuffs
  
• birthday coming up and Dad ordered me a circular saw (won't be expensive though)
  
  

obviously not the arsenal many have and don't have the budget to get too much but what else would you recommend?

I'm thinking

• a rafter square to use as a guide
  
• long spirit level
  
• eventually will need a router
  
• perhaps need to investigate the blades on the power saws
  
  

Not sure if this is better here or DIY but has anyone had a go at making some shelves like this?

I picked up some old oak kitchen worktops which I think are decent for the wood but that's as far as I've got

I have a WTB nano (I think non-tubeless) you can have for a beer. Only did a few rides on it.

Also got a brand new pair of G-One Allround RaceGuard 700x40c Folding Tyre - £40

Update:

Couple of seeds managed to sprout and have got to an inch tall but very much stagnated from there. Same happened last year, i repotted them in better compost last year so maybe I'll try that again.

The overwintered ones though have seen a positive uplift, quite a few leaves forming so popped them outside for a few hours to maximise sun and start hardening them off.

Finished drying out a couple of bowls worth of coffee grounds today. Put a good covering on the top, mixed it in and popped them outside for a bit. Let's see how that gets on.

Tried the apple cider and fairy liquid to no avail so next plan if coffee fails is diatomaceous earth

I want to try CX this year and even though this is too small and gearless it's still tempting, really should keep looking though

@grm is a good seller too, bought a gilet from him last year and it was shipped quick and as described (if not better than expected)

I was reading about it this morning as picked up some monstera clippings and they're riddled with them.
Apparently you need to thoroughly dry them out so got a pot drying in the sun now.

what did you discover, need to go this route myself now.
I've installed tivimate on my firestick so just need to find a iptv provider now

Any south Londoners got some drain rods I could borrow?

Just had my hand down the drain to have a feel and was a little fatty so reckon a prod around might help it drain quicker

How old is the property?

According to the survey 1890.

Dark and raining at the minute so I'll use the surveyor pics.

Just been out to inspect it and no obvious leaks but the pipes aren't guttering so I'll have to check again when my gf goes for a shower or flushes the toilet

It doesn't get a lot of light down there..

I've seen HG Mould Spray recommended on here before, I'll give that a go.

The plaster adhesion seems okay but there are a couple of dead spots so I'm expecting I need to redo that area

There's perhaps about 6 inches of exterior wall to the left of the window, the really dark bit will be interior (onto the cloakroom toilet which is tiled so can't see much there).

Interesting, thanks.

It's a house rather than flats, this picture is the ground floor (left on the floorplan)
The grouting and stuff looks fine but I have no idea when anything was installed or when this happened.

The previous owner had lived here since 1980.

I'm assuming damp?

Been taking wallpaper off that I'm guessing has been here 20 years or so. It largely comes off in huge chunks as appears it's been painted over a handful of times (true all over, not just in this section)

There's this worrying section here though.

I'm guessing damp and I'm guessing it's because it's adjacent to the bathrooms.

Is there any way of diagnosing the underlying issue and if it's already been addressed?

I had to ship mine back to three at the end of the contract so sadly not, I did keep the 5g router from the year before though, I'll see if it made it in the house move.

Used these a few times, my only experience of cargo bikes (apart from the cheap cracked frame one I bought that still needs moving on), can fit a decent amount in but had to be v.careful at high speeds.

Interesting, I am with CF and been thinking about getting an extra node. Vaguely recall seeing something in this thread so will have a look at how I can achieve that (cheaply)

Any tips for spotting asbestos or is it generally not worth any risk?
Want to start doing up my new office room and will start at the top so clearing this off and assessing the big crack

It's rubbish dreadful now,

$25 voucher - 2,500 points

but $50 min spend and shipping is £8!

Shame as I have quite a few points and in the old world you could spend the 25euros with no min spend so basically just 6euro shipping on things below 25.

Seem to have lost my gloves in a recent house move.

If anyone has any medium mitts lying around I'd love to claim them, they're just for my turbo so any style or state will do.
Similarly for some thin long finger ones for commuting.

Ta

it really is tempting...

I am, yeah, I'm going to persevere to get a sense of accomplishment but when that fails I may very well take you up as I do also very like chillies

Much less success from my side, the 2 I overwintered are still showing little progress and the seeds from 2 weeks ago are no different. Started again a few days ago but appears to be a dud.

Really regret knocking the pot over from the ones that managed to sprout from some seeds from last year now as got nothing.
