Using that
Using that logic, I only need a 6"ruler or a picture of a ruler.

What "man jobs" have you done today?
- Thread starter jaybee
- Start date
I like your idea but we only have a cat. I asked him and he wasn't really interested in earning his keep for once!
Only tested it as far as turning it on. -Did try the blower and it's a lot more powerful than old one.
I would hazard a guess that without the knozzel on it will suck up reasonable size bit's of mortar.
I have the same job to do but it's a Round Tuit job.
It is a lot smaller than my old Titan which had 1100w and SS body where this is 1000w and plastic but at first go it seems better but will not know till I do a bigger job.
dlockers.
I also have a Gerber multitool but never used that - but also have three Leatherman Micras -One for me and one for wife and one on hook by PC - Best thing I have bought - Got them from US in 2005 for about $12 each -Got home and they were £31 - Today they are £50+ - so a very good buy -They are just the thing for cutting your nails and little bit of cutting and you are nowhere near scissors.
It is on my car key ring it is that small.
Hope you had a good holiday and are ready for next stage of new house graft. I have done my 3 score years and 10.

Removed some ceiling from the garage to investigate the ensuite shower waste from underneath, so I could see what shower trays might fit.
Turns out that although there's no joist in the way, there's a ******* steel beam instead, just my luck! It looks like they've used a low-profile waste for the current tray, but I want to use a full-sized one really. I guess my only option is to get a tray with a waste more central rather than a cool linear waste at the end of the tray

We have a dog. His idea of being useful is not tripping you over 300 times a day.
Its not quite a linear waste at the end, but the Kudos Connect 2 trays can be a huge help when looking to get around joist placements.Removed some ceiling from the garage to investigate the ensuite shower waste from underneath, so I could see what shower trays might fit.

Thanks, I had looked at those, but I'm not sure they work because it's in a corner and requires a max 800mm wide tray. The waste would end up being parallel with the water flow from the shower, which might look weird aesthetically.Its not quite a linear waste at the end, but the Kudos Connect 2 trays can be a huge help when looking to get around joist placements.

I have done my 4 score years and 10.
Please explain what this means
Edit - googled it - https://english.stackexchange.com/q...ten-almost-half-the-time-and-not-always-three
I'm even more confused now
Edit 2: finally
Three score and ten' is the nominal span of a human life. In the days that this expression was coined that span was considered to be seventy years.
Threescore used to be used for sixty, in the way that we still use a dozen for twelve, and (occasionally) score for twenty. The use of threescore as a name for sixty has long since died out but is still remembered in this phrase. Threescore goes back to at least 1388, as in this from John Wyclif's Bible, Leviticus 12, at that date: "Thre scoor and sixe daies."

I am well past my sell by date now.
We're all on the same conveyor belt and it only goes one way! At least you made it quite far.Nice one - Thanks.

Looking better now. £335 to have the walls and ceiling skimmed, well worth it imho.
Been trying the Lickpro emulsion and satinwood as it's on offer at screwfix and been impressed so far. Window dressed up and room painted white, just need to paint the accent wall, pin some skirting to the walls and pick a carpet.

Almost finished caulking last night. Have some oak worktops in the way so can't quite get at one yet to finish. Painting tonight.
Thanks for the links and I have now changed 4 to 3 score years.
I would be 90 at 4 so now I am 3 score and 20.
I always knew that saying from older blokes at work where in those days it meant (I think) they wanted to still be alive getting their pension at 70+
A ex workmate has a hope of living long enough to be on a pension for the same years he payed in NI -He is doing well at 84.
That conveyor belt is now a long steep slippery slope.
My man job today is get the pressure washer out and finish slabs.

As said above, you need to fill the holes otherwise stuff will keep growing back in the dust/dirt that accumulates there.
You could get a bag of cold lay tarmac e.g.
Tarmac Instant Lay Macadam - Major Bag | Wickes.co.uk
Tarmac Instant Lay Macadam - Major Bag
www.wickes.co.uk
and just pack the holes full of it and then squash it down with something heavy and flat e.g. head of a sledge hammer.
or there is probably some sort of construction mastic you can get (I know we've used some at work to fill joins in concrete and the like), but wouldn't know what it is called.
