    Molgrips – some of the newer models do have ‘coasting’ which yours won’t as its an older model

    As above, don’t risk it, but since you asked, mine is 72mm (installed last week).

    Why isn’t it coming until the end of the month? Is it a particularly special one?

    I got mine from Trade Radiators[/url] – they offer a decent guarantee compared to the likes of B&Q, Bathstore etc, they are much cheaper, and they deliver next day for free.

    Small rucksack to carry your cans of beer each day.

    Definitely do one trip from the car, don’t bother with a truck as they get ruined in the mud.

    Camp up near the farmhouse at the top of the hill, it will be rammed but will have less people walking past, and if it rains your tent won’t get flooded (unlike those at the bottom of the hill)

    Get there on Wednesday to have any chance of getting a decent spot

    Sky go is due to Chrome not supporting Microsoft silver light. It is very annoying as when I installed Firefox (because internet explorer just wouldn’t respond on the sky website), it came bundled with a whole load of dodgy malware.

    You can’t have a car thread on stw without kryton telling the world how an Alfa 159 is the best car in the world and how awesome and different he is for driving one

    But if you work in a 24/7 environment, it isn’t unreasonable to expect that there is 24/7 support shared across a number of people and shifts. So in theory (maybe not totally in practice) you should be able to clock off at 5pm

    I’m glad to have been, for one night, and for it to have been paid for by somebody else.

    A truly horrible place.

    It really gets my goat how people have to “prove themselves” by working overtime, especially the younger guys. I’ve always been very strict about not doing it as a matter of course, although when I work abroad then I don’t mind it so much, as long as I get time for dinner and a couple of beers in the evening.

    The point made above about being shown respect from your employer by not being expected to do overtime routinely is a very good point that I didn’t consider before

    The guy who installed our windows recommended the Cox guns, as above. You can get them in Screwfix.

    Ours also pulled off in a ‘big sheet’, try to use its own weight to pull itself off. There are some bits that I couldn’t reach when I pulled ours down in January, they have now gone brown and are falling off of their own accord.

    Thanks for all of the suggestions so far. Seems like spending more for decent quality may be the way to go, I’ll look through the suggestions and also look to play the long game and wait for the sales.

    Thanks all.

    I got my local diy shop to cut a sheet of 22mm mdf to size, which I then applied a sacrificial layer of hardboard and also rubber matting to. I think it is about 750-800mm ish deep, and nice and high so I don’t get a bad back when using it

    Just be careful, if you manage to damage things you’ll wish you had taken it to a garage to be done!

    Give them a ring, explain it and they’ll refund you – the same happened to me once with AA insurance and they were fine about it

    Is it possible to just use copper pipe, solder on some t fittings, and then attach some speed fittings? I’ve got the tools to do all that, I would just need to find the appropriate fittings. All I’m looking for is a ‘rail’ of compressed air with a few outlets that I can plug my compressor into

    t_r – you seem to know what you are on about with these things; can you recommend where I can get an airline pipe which I can mount to the wall behind my bench and plug air tools into? I can envisage what I want, it is just where/what to search for.

    Cheers

    I’m not sure a power flush is a waste of money. I recently had my boiler replaced and he left his machine flushing the system for a few hours whilst he got on with sorting the rest of the boiler out. For me to have messed about to make such a thorough job of it would have taken an age, and a lot of hassle. I’m not sure I would pay ~£700 for the privilege of having one done though, ours was included in the cost of the boiler replacement which was £2600 for a Worcester bosch 42cdi.

    I used that for my garage and have been very pleased with it. Our floor was also rough, so I used the acid etch. I put mine down in August though, so temperature was not an issue.

    One tip- make sure you have plenty of ventilation as the fumes are very strong. I made this mistake on the first coat, for the second coat i left the garage door open.

    I had one and was suspicious of its ability to burn the house down, so I sold it. Why not go for a condensing tumble dryer? You’ll get loads more in it, and the space that it takes up compared to what you are currently looking at isn’t much different at all.

    Keep it, but you’ll obviously need a remap to maintain progress

    As you are such an expert on office work, perhaps you should get a job there and sort it all out for them.
