I use a cheapish 900watt electric fan heater I got off Amazon - it isn't perfect but it creates a nice comfortable warm spot where I am working without the potential risks of an open flame or carbon monoxide.

Yeh, think its the black bottom on the legs of the top one. If you removed them then it would look more like one unit. But I guess you've put them there for vibration reasons? Looks good though.

Could rebate them to hide the black bit (or most of it). Looks good though. I've given the grass it's last cut of the year, hard work as it was about 6 inches long
, I've topped up the inhibitor in the rads, fitted some extra shelves for shoes and done a bit of painting, and that's just this morning. Might treat myself to a nap later lol.

End result looks good now. Also fitted a new roof to said shed last weekend, and fitting stud work tomorrow, cinema shed project is a go!

What shoe shelves did you use? I've built cabinets with pull ours for all of ours yet the favourites still find themselves out on displayCould rebate them to hide the black bit (or most of it).

The thing we've got is a cupboard with some bars I'm it. I've added some curtain poles to make extra shelves. Had to do it as the kids shoes ate too small and fall through.What shoe shelves did you use? I've built cabinets with pull ours for all of ours yet the favourites still find themselves out on display

Changed a washing Machine hose, wife was convinced we needed a new machine as there was water on the floor - and my fault apparently.

Old man job really - spent 10 min fighting my way into a cardboard and plastic wrapping of a oven bulb - took 1min to change it.
One day someone is going to really cut themselves on that stiff molded plastic wrapping.

Oh if it's that stuff that has a really rigid edge I know what you mean, you have to cut all the sides off to get access. It's a right pain.

Yep - you got it and it get's better.
Turned oven on - Got up to temp and wife put a tray of chips in - shut the door then bang -oven went off so went in garage and it had tripped -turned it on and oven was fine, but no oven light.
When it cooled down opened it up and bulb had exploded - so now got to get on to ebay and tell them and send a picture and hope they send two more or money back

How annoying. They do tend to last a while though. Question for you guys, I've a crack in my concrete floor. What's best to fill it with if the floor is 25 years old?
