Somewhere where it is not likely to blow directly on you.
What "man jobs" have you done today?

And above a TV is gash right?

Gash and probably not great for the TV long term.

Finally have a floor in the garage again! Last boards went in Friday. A friend came over for some board games, hence makeshift table.
Bonus that the new floor is actually built to a sensible height and feels level with the hallway.

Cabinet going up there, two NVR plus 22 cameras need routing in
I gotta ask - 22 cameras? Is it a palatial spread you have?

I guess it depends on the area... I could have 5 cameras (plus doorbell but that would just be for the remote answering aspect) and I would get pretty much blanket coverage on mine.

I have 9 but still could probably do with another couple.
Main reason is next door neighbour is a **** though and need to keep an eye on things
Chaps,
I need to prime and paint a wooden door tomorrow, old 1930s thing. I have the shellac primer and water based. I plan to water based gloss over the top (Leyland). Which zinsser should I use? It's sanded well but impossible to clear off all of what I anticipate is varnish.
I also have some bedac msp leftover...

It's our business premises, most will be inside

Care home?
Domiciliary care, we care for our service users in their own homes.
The Main Building consists of offices and a disabled wetroom/toilets.
The two-storey extension, the ground floor is a day centre, sensory room and kitchen. Upstairs is not used yet.

Very impressive, as with all the OCUK DIYers to be honest. I'm kind of amazed at how much some of you get through and the finish achieved!

Agreed.
I hit a bit of a roadblock after I tore a ligament in my neck a few weeks ago (20L bags of Catsan Litter at Costco
), meaning I can't raise either arm above shoulder height.Physio, heat pads and careful use of Ibuprofen (dodgy liver) aren't quite doing it, but managed to avoid falling off the opioid wagon again.
Have to remind myself I'm not Superman and that the only way I'd get called "young" now, is if I die

Not as bad as you but I remember wrecking my shoulder at the start of 2023, and ending up with severe gastritis after long term ibuprofen/naproxen useAgreed.

Not a sensation I want to feel again!
This is the 4th one I've done, so it gets easier. Hopefully the last too, although I said that last time.

I believe the zinsser shellac based primer is what you want.
