Nice harvest. I'm curious to see the setup as well because I'm intrigued to see how frost might affect it, presumably yours is neither indoors nor greenhoused?

Re: Home and garden projects

Re: Home and garden projects

Sorry, I should have been more specific, much of the work I do is on trailers which come under transport codes not building codes (where replacement is concerned, add ons have to meet building...

Yeah, it never ceases to surprise me that I'm, quite often, fitting single glazed windows in Satan's armpit.

Re: Home and garden projects

Gotcha, not something I've come across here but I did do some van conversions for customers (in my capacity as a highly specialized boat builder :confused:) back in the UK and used a, barely...

Re: Home and garden projects

My brick built hovel doesn't have any need for siding, but thanks for the thought. :cool:

Re: Home and garden projects

I didn't know whether to start a new thread but figured that most of our affected avid DIYers and new home owners find themselves on this one.

Re: Home and garden projects

I was on a site earlier this week where a concrete stamped driveway was laid, interesting to see it done as it's not something I've seen being done before. The lads took about as long to stamp the...

Re: Home and garden projects

Brick paved driveways are hugely labour intensive compared to concrete ones. I should have thought that the volume of pavers works out pricier than the same volume of concrete. Pulling a ratio out of...

Re: Home and garden projects

I never had any oil rags catch fire but that was probably because I was extremely wary of it, I have witnessed various types of fire in the boat yards and none of them were pretty. Welders catching...

Re: Home and garden projects

Old boat builders trick for rust or treating new steel hulled vessels, no paint required.

Re: Home and garden projects

Before I start: This is NOT a critical step in building modern table tops and you need not feel wanting for not having put them in. I was just curious.

Very nice. As a time served wood butcher, I'm curious to know if you used tensioning bars?

Re: Home and garden projects

Spraying indoors, bag the whole room, better still make a plastic sheet 'booth' around the work surface, which saves farting around with covering furniture or else you take your chances. Overspray is...

Re: Home and garden projects

For a professional look, it is quicker and far less hassle to remove the covers from all switches and put them back after you've painted, with a steady hand you should be able to roller around the...

Re: Home and garden projects

Being an organized type, not, I purchased paint a few weeks back expecting to be furloughed. I hate painting and expected Sod's law to kick in fairly sharpish but, despite finding no evidence to...

Re: Home and garden projects

Common set up for Florida, the idea is that the gutter back edge is pushed up to, and ideally behind, the drip edge. Having the pitch in the gutter will just encourage rot in the fascia board...

Re: Home and garden projects

That doesn't make sense (about the gasket), the shroud is on the exterior of the unit and a rubber gasket where it is would just let water collect in between the two. Is the gasket surface mounted...

Re: Home and garden projects
