Beaten to it..Damn
Had a mince-pie anyway..:-)

I’ll be clean for 3 years in January after 29 years of smoking..the worst is yet to come but it’s not all doom and gloom after 2 weeks or so it gets better ( read easier to fight the urge )

Best of luck. Stay strong!

He deserves to be hung. Society don’t need these low-life scum.

So the tax payer is now going to have the privilege of housing and feeding this c**t.
Makes me seeth.

@ cloudnine ( page 1 ) Powertools????? Had to laugh..

So if I put those shelves up……

What’s blue and tastes like red paint? Blue paint.

cooked egg n Bacon for breakfast 🙂

Made a beef curry for tea 🙂

Painted the bedroom 🙂

Ran out of time to get the BFe out 🙁

Don’t know if you know but the £105 is for a front wheel only..

will it run without the air-filter on? have you let it run long enough ( warm-up ) before you pull the throttle?

ok, I’ll Google the code. Its not a complete ring though like my last Xbox.

should do. I’ll let you know on monday.

Sorry to hear it, hope you get sorted.

Peartree Oxford?

Today I finished off a table I was making out of an Oak-block worktop,,,

Picture of the floor…sanded – osmo -sanded Osmo….awaiting hardcoat.

try not to cough! 😀

Just done this with my build ( summerhouse ) and will put a hard-wearing clear-coat on afterwards.

Instead of pre-drilling my external cladding I used some these[/url], super quick and you can fix close to the end without fear of splitting the wood.

Bumping up…

Carphone warehouse also told me about £230, when I questioned it he said he could do it for £80.

Whilst loading the car up for a week in Wales.: MiL says scorning ” you’re not taking your bike are you?”

Fantombiker……wet well ( soak ) before removal. As a precaution cheap p3 dust mask. Re the idiot who broke off a bit claiming to be knowledgeable he is nothing more than an idiot. In my previous posts I have said that only a lab will tell ( there are also brittle asbestos products )…and remember the story about that lady who wanted to listen to everyone else but me..these idiots deserve to be proven wrong. ( thing is though in the end I’m the bad man for her having to fork out more money than she intended ).
If it is asbestos work out what your exposure was and log it.
Good luck.

Yes…until I went tubeless.

Freddie Star ate my hamster!

What would you call decent Revs?

Got an email from Cotic. They have 2014 Pikes for £600 incl. delivery and 2014 140mm Revs RCT3 for £450 if that helps.

celotex +1. I would only use the R1.9 as part of a complete package ie. Vapour barriers/ breathable membranes Plasterboard/ Timber cladding.

@cheez0.. ( leaving myself open to abuse ) that comment proves that you have no realtime experience with asbestos! Leave advising someone on possible life threatening substances to those that know what they are talking about!

Should I be looking got a jacket with a hood?

Any news OP?

I must be a geezer as I don’t wax my chest or arms, have wide bars and wear baggies.

Handyman calculator. Used often.

I’m loving the ride of my Bfe. Lovely ‘ Hardcore ” Trail frame that will take a beating. I recently rode ‘ Surface to Air ‘ at Aston hill. ( I weigh 95 – 100kgs ) and it took the dropsin it’s stride….but the roots on the xc loop at Aston are a killer and shake you to bits. I love the look of the Shan and if I had the money would of had one. As you are selling items to fund your build i would go for the Shan with BOS forks but I couldn’t tell you if there is an advantage or better ride compared to any other frames mentioned above.

The Titanium 456 is to be had for not much more then the steel Shan although I think the 456 is a bit Marmitey….

Fireeye Bikes Hottail similar to the Surge..

Tea is for mugs………….

on a more serious note These[/url].

Always done my knives with a steel and never lost an edge. ….but I’ll put them over the steel fact time before Iuse them. Some of my kknives ( Victorinox ) are 30+ years old.

Any recommendations?

love Stollen!

Co-Ops stollen bites were always nice n moist..

Whilst working in the asbestos removal business in Germany 15 odd years ago there was talk of a ‘ new ‘ threat namely PCB. I worked on a couple of projects removing PCB whilst scientists, professors, Hse etc worked on an acceptable ( non dangerous ) level. This level was set. Tests were carried out which would of resulted in 90% of the schools closing. Thus the ‘ acceptable level ‘ was changed….

That’s not hardboard.

chances are though that the workshop should never of been rented out if its contaminated…Landlord has the onus surely?

You won’t know for sure whether it contains asbestos fibres unless you get it lab tested. To me it looks fibrous just like an asbestos-cement product. If the Asbestos content in the product is less than 14% it’s classed as Asbestos-cement and can be handled differently ( wet removal, p3 mask, paper suit etc ) compared to if it contains more than 14%. Now you’re talking full PPE, P3 Mask with blower, Work area to be encapsulated, negative pressure to prevent fibres escaping etc.., Showers for the workers and and and.
Be Warned! YOUR LANDLORD WILL NOT WANT TO GO DOWN THIS ROUTE IF HE HIS A ROGUE AS IT IS EXPENSIVE. Get some sort of official clearance.
IMHO it’s asbestos. firstly by looks, secondly It’s also very difficult to make products that have the same characteristics as asbestos ie. heat resistance in the same dimensions as an asbestos product. ie 5mm thick.
to clarify..a non asbestos product that is to deliver the same as an asbestos product needs to be thicker.

A few years ago I was asked to paint some soffits and after inspecting asked the lady to send a piece off to the lab. She said she’d spoken to this person, that person etc and it’s not asbestos. She’d spoken to the last decorator that had sanded and painted them and there is nothing to worry about. I still refused and told her to get the painter back that did them last time. Long story short lab result was asbestos.

Email in profile if needed.

@ Hora… not on my ’96 D21

Thanks for the help peeps. I’ll be checking them ones out daffy.
