did you figure out if youre doing sometthing wrong? ours is up from 650 to 900 buildings and contents, on comparethemarket most providers wont even give us a quote..

He removed the original door frame and then framed out the space just with timber, not ply, then slid in the ‘bookcases’

Yeah i think with some filling, and painting of the framing, then either painting of sanding and oiling the book cSe itll look fine in the end

and it should be safe to sand?

very split opinions, all my mates think it looks shit 😂

anyway ill do some filling out.

next question, he said do just oil it straight on top without sanding, but theres still pencil marks and stuff from transport so i kind of want to sand it.. is that super dangerous with this kind of ply?

the woods going to be on show, it wasnt planned to be painted but now im really feeling this kind of ply isnt meant to be on show?

The paint job was done years ago, and kind of agree its not working, planning to give the whole room a freshen up.

The shelving also needs sanding and oiling, or painting guess, maybe a combination.

Glad everyone thinks the job seems a decent solution, guess i was overthinking it

think im mostly trying to figure out how to style the frames out to not stick out like a sore thumb so much

edit; finished product

we have a friend of a friend carpenter doing some shelving for me atm.

in my office there are two very shallow cupboards (20cm or so deep) and we wanted to pull out the framing and doors, and replace with deeper shelves.

when discussing the brief he said the plan was to frame out the cupboards and build shelving into the frame, sounds great, lets do it.

... what has been built is basically a book case that slots inside of the cupboards holes (this is clearly not finished but you get the gist)

.. anyone else think this is very weird? the frames now stick out from the wall, instead of just the shelves which is what I expected.

the reasoning is they are worried about the weight (theyre going to be full of records) but im still somewhat surprised

god that looks shit

is there anywhere around london that does full brompton paint job?

Anyone seen anything on the last minute tickets this year? Got a few years in a row the last few via amex sales and 24h before sales

Not seeing anything similar this year

Literally last month!

350 a day is alright for a proper bricky* Whether its a 4 day job ive no idea. I guess get other quotes and see if they are consistent.

we had similar brick work done on a front wall that retains plantation like yours, in london, it was probably a little more work than yours but not much and we paid 1500 .. i thought it was insane but speaking around it seemed like the going rate

thanks!

Anyone have somewhere for a ~25km loop walk somewhere south of london, where there is campsites around?

Friend going through a rough time and we want to head out early saturday morning (not this weekend so not bank holiday weekend) from Croydon in the car, park up at a campsite, setup camp, walk ~25km in a loop], stay the night, drive home, but i am absolutely clueless

Yeah check my post history, next time your in London if you are keen i can keep hold

im trying to buy an electric towel heater for a bathroom but im confused on some of the language.

it cannot be plumbed in it has to be mount and power only (no central heating)

something like this: https://www.traderadiators.com/towelrads-independent-straight-electric-thermostatic-ladder-radiator-white-1200mm-x-600mm seems to be what i want.. but im doubting myself on ‘thermostatic’ which my brain is telling me it might be both plumbed in and have a heating element?

Im also guessing you dont just want to … fill it with tap water? very confused

Yeah maybe, the lumpwood charcoal is quite large maybe im not packing it dense enough in the chimney, will keep experimenting i guess!

And yes always use the chimney starter

Yeah its lumpwood charcoal

I want for grilling mostly

Oh wow 😂 no wonder

Im still failing after getting new lumpwood,

It burns hot up to about 200 then tapers off rapidly, yesterday i had to relight using firelighters three times in 2 hours or so just to get it briefly back into the mid 100

Anyone interested in an Explorer I (36mm) (ref 124270) at what I paid for it (6200GBP)?
