No clamps to hold the pipes to walls / bulkheads, they're going to vibrate ? But you know that.
Although it wasn't really dry enough, the forecast isn't encouraging for the foreseeable so it was a case of get on with it. I have combined fertiliser/moss/weedkiller ready to apply but won't doing that any time soon.
My grandad could scythe nettles quicker than I could cut them with a brush cutter.I've tried one in a previous life - I could get it to cut, but pretty....it wasn't.
Could easily win you dad of the yearNot today, but finished yesterday. A built in wardrobe and cupboard for my youngest daughter. She wanted it in the style of a Tardis, so I painted the doors Tardis blue and was going to paint the panelling and sign work on the doors later.

But then found a sticker that was almost the exact right size, the door width was spot on, just had to trim 10mm off the bottom of the stickers.

I used an old Yale key for the right door handle and placed the left door handle where the handle for the phone box should be. She's well chuffed

I just need to finish the ensuite you can see beyond it and build some more built in cupboards and drawers opposite the wardrobe then I can get back to more workshop stuff.
will that eventually throw rust stain down the stone work ?
Basically. Ideal for breaking up sheet pallets especially.
Cut mine twice this year already, same sort of reason, rotary doesn't like it when it's too long!Nothing engineering related, but my grass got its first haircut of the season - it's been growing at a rate of knots lately and was looking really untidy.
Using a Flymo means that if it gets too 'scraggy' the mower flattens it and doesn't cut properly too long and it blows flat then springs up once you're past.
Possibly. The stone is from a local quarry that contains a lot of iron compounds, so the orange hints go quite well with the cladding. When the rusting has occurred (which is quite fast in Cornwall with its wet/dry cycles) it's pretty stable and doesn't really come off on a finger with rubbing. The clients won't mind some streaks if it does occur as it's part of the patina of the building. The wall's all fat lime with a little pozzolan added, and this same mortar is to be packed around the lip of the reveal. This has already been done on the first floor reveal and that doesn't appear to have been stained yet, despite being quite pale. I am test-fitting the final reveal now. The window frames are local Douglas Fir with a lip beneath that the reveal has to sit behind to catch drips, so some fettling has been required.
pozzolan, ! havent heard that name for a while , yup loving the work.
