I never actually think about it, that's one of the smaller properties we get to work in

Seriously, what is the percentage I wonder?

We're getting waaay off topic , but I'd guess at 3%. No way of establishing precisely I suppose.

There are only two types of people, nice people and not nice people. What they have or have achieved rarely changes that. I try and keep away from the "not nice people"

Folks seem to really resent people with money, all my customers were very very wealthy and had earnt the money through hard work over many years creating many jobs, 99% of them were great and I didnt begrudge them a penny of it!

During construction of our extension the builders left so much timber in the skip each day that I helped myself for further use.

Did the first bit of welding I've done ij a while; steel frame for a backstop made from 1.5" timber - just in case any pellets go AWOL. Have an additional stop behind any targets I put up; they sit on the tree stump.

You had presumably already paid for the wood your builders were putting in the skip. You can bet your boots if they were paying for it there would be far less ! (And you'd need less skips !!!!!!! )

a backstop

I've always thought a old barn door would make a good backstop if only for the irony.

Totally.
The easiest money you will ever spend is not your own.

I noticed that the open corner door may not be noticeable. It can hurt. Painted scarlet, inside.

Color style - Watermelon.

Finish.

Yes, absolutely - I was after some breeze blocks but they took them away before I got the chance! They quoted for the job and we signed the turnkey project contract before the price hikes in materials last year so I suspect we've done well; it just took ages for the building warrant to come through.

Well today I made the lights come back on!

New switch, in its new position. (Before you had to have a reach around behind the shelves). Angle iron / t&g flooring offcut shelf unit narrowed down by 100mm. Big refurb'd cupboard tarted up and next to it.

Still can't decide whether the pipe offcuts are any good as storage / pigeon holes. I'd get a lot of organiser boxes stacked on those shelves instead...

I like your storage using the (what I assume to be) cut plastic pipe...

I think tbh it might be a bit wasteful of the space?

Yes, pvc pipe about 200mm dia. I occasionally get them given to me.

I use square line guttering on shelves for my metal offcuts, works well.

I wish I had a couple of dozen such pipes 600 mm long . t
They would fit nicely under my lathe pushed right back to the wall and be used as a tube , bar & rod store , any not used would go into the garden for leek sleeves .

These are about 250mm long only.

@Tangledfeet Are there going to be handrails on those steps?

Yup, can't get the building warrant signed off without them.

Neighbours only a few doors done had pretty much the same extension (same company; CR Smith) completed last year and seeing that inspired us to invest in one - made the salesman's job much easier as we just said we want pretty much what they've got!

They did have an issue with the building warrant not being signed off for a while as there was some wrangling about their height.
