    What "man jobs" have you done today?

    Swapped out the old sockets and masked up for slapping down some satinwood tomorrow, then I am done with it. Then I get to start again in the guest room :D

    *** Car Wash / Valet / Detailing Thread ***

    Tyres have their own anti ozonant, that's the brown stuff that comes out when you clean them, solvent based dressings have been found to leech it out and cause premature cracking. Now I just give tyres a quick brush down and use a water based dressing. I've thrown the gel in the bin, it's nasty...

    Can't go wrong with super resin polish, just keep it off black plastics.

    2023 Track Day Thread

    I quite enjoyed it, I’m running Cup 2s. I wouldn’t like to drive the car with temps less than 10 degrees as they do need heat. I popped off centre caps on my rear wheels for the first time. I normally leave them off on the fronts only but yeah, I won’t be seeing those again.

    2023 Track Day Thread

    Bedford yesterday, had a really good day bar crossing myself up at the end of a 45 min session (too long but I was enjoying myself too much). skip to the end if you want to see me go off. Didn't get everything on the gopro as it either ran out of battery or overheated.

    Would take two hours to change the wheels and seats so you can change them when you buy it :D

    What "man jobs" have you done today?

    Yeah I don't want a new one because it will be new, more that the layout doesn't work, I want new appliances, it doesn't have a proper extractor, the room is painted wallpaper so there's a couple of damp patches etc. It's a mix of old white and wood effect laminate that's been wrapped/painted to...

    What "man jobs" have you done today?

    The old drawer front was just glued on to the cabinet, the other drawers had about two screws holding them together :rolleyes: No more having to crouch down to use a pan drawer for cutlery now and I've gained storage. The old glue and paint just scraped off, and I used zinsser BIN so the paint...

    What "man jobs" have you done today?

    Put in a thicker door stop in, replaced some broken trim and put in new draught excluder strips for my summerhouse doors. I think someone's had a go at getting in so beefed everything up, before you could pull at the doors and get a hand underneath, now it doesn't move at all. Next job is...

    Cuprinol ducksback autumn gold Not a bad idea, I'll get a water butt so it doesn't flood the side of the concrete base.

    What "man jobs" have you done today?

    The builders that did my bathroom tiled into my bath so you get two good seals. They started tiling from a bit of stripwood after working out the layout and the hight of the bath so they only needed to do a single row of tiles with the bath in place. I was unsure about it but after seeing it for...

    New Study/Den

    I've lost track the amount of times I've put a drill to the wall and realised I am directly in line with a socket. It's like a primal attraction.

    Has anyone made their own car ramps from wood?

    You're not going to die but they'll be heavy and expensive. I've been using a set of plastic ramps to get my nose up enough to get a jack on the subframe and despite being lightweight show no signs of use.

    Stupid metal box kept falling down the back of the wall so swapped it for a proper plasterboard one.
