🚨 Parkside plunge saw in stock from Sunday 🚨

One thing I hate that I’ve noticed becoming more prevalent is commentators/pundits referring to playing a ‘quarterback role’

If you’re a player that passes the ball across the pitch you’re now a quarterback

Ok that all makes sense and sounds about right as they are an older model

A bit of research from Zipp's site shows the 303 disc from 2013 came with 24h f&r whereas the rim brake version comes as 24/18h (these have 24h front and back)

Anyway, reduced price; £450

They may well be, I’m going to message previous seller to find out more as I’m not sure if that would result in any issues

£450

Comes with endcap adaptors & discs

Currently has endcaps to fit 12x142mm thru-axle

Collection: Farringdon

will you be rendering the external to prevent moisture from coming inwards? how did you calculate dew point or did builder?

anyone want to go halves on an order, I want just the PT winter jacket. I can round my order up to £100 with a pair of socks.. If I got the PTJ+socks for £75 that would be a bargain..

@Saffronspokes, do you want to go halves by any chance? I have the £50 off voucher code from your link..

I've considered it but how do you solve the issue of the roof not overhanging the gable end wall enough already, let alone once you add further insulation.

We'd need to remove all render (cement), add insulation, render with lime, amend roof, sort gutters etc which is why internal is appealing as we're gutting everything anyway

I find it disheartening that the majority of trades simply don't care about the quality of finish and the fact that someone can DIY it to a far higher standard says it all really.

Must be depressing going in to work each day and not giving a shit about anything you do.

Sad.

If your walls aren't perfectly true there's a good chance that doing by eye will end up looking straighter anyway. I remember as a teenager spending ages mounting an acrylic sign perfectly level only for it to look wonky and shit because it was an old house and nothing was straight. Did it by eye and it looked perfect.

Yeah did exactly that, mounted shelving level, realised radiator was way off anyway and looks wrong. At least the rad can be adjusted..

Use the laser level to mark the two points on the wall to ensure level. Measure the two points to get the length of pole required.

I don’t think there is a worse job than this

How a kitchen tap should be:

Tap connected to a flexible tail with female connector at the end connected to an isolator valve connected to the rest of your plumbing.

Reality:
Tap connected to copper tails normally used in healthcare and food industry settings with a male end connector, connected to a female to male flexi hose terminating on a compression fitting with no isolation valve.

Naturally, to be an extra bastard, the existing flexi hose is also really long so that once you add in the length of the copper tails it makes it impossible to get flexi tap tails long enough. You then extend the pipe work to get the new tails to reach, don’t fully tighten a compression fitting and flood the kitchen👍🏼

Justified buying a multitool by sorting this, had been like this for 2 years since we moved in, spliced two bits of wood together, just needs some paint now

you'd have to pay import fees on those..

3 times that cost now,

10k bingo!

Can I second dibs these? how much is postage?

oh yeah she definitely got a good price and it wasn't a complicated build but the idea that replacing a bath would be either 1/3 or 2/3 of the cost of a job where trades were on site for weeks is insanity.

Im just conscious that in this thread you might believe you weren't getting your pants pulled down if someone quoted you 6.5k minimum to swap a bath out and 10k for it to be done to a good standard.

she checked in this thread first and the consensus was that it sounded about right

this thread is 100% guilty of assuming everything starts at circa 10k

my mum had a 2x2m hallway/entrance extension including roof, windows, all electrics, plastering, only thing not included was the front door for 16k, if you'd asked before in here before starting you'd have put aside 50k!

I know everything is expensive but no way is that a 6.5k job 😂 as @grams said, just shim it if its a bit lower

My mate (N.london), 1 or two years ago had a whole bathroom done for 8k and it was done to a fairly high standard

did your builders advise on fibre board to use etc or have you specced it all out yourself?

I'd be interested if you get them

lap vents have been recommended in this thread a few times

remastered is a bit of a stretch! some of the scenes look worse!
