I've had far more pieces go up, down and back up again successfully than I have that have failed. We moved 2 years ago and the only Ikea items that didn't make the journey were some wardrobes, the new place had built-ins in all bedrooms. Having said that, the wardrobes are the items most likely...

Just received mine in the post, thank you for the recommendation, it's super nice!

Splendid thread, please keep it coming whenever you get the chance :)

We lost ours a few years, but similar experience, lasted far longer than I ever expected.

A lot of my thinking boils down to a mixture of selfishness and lack of faith in other people. Any day of the week, I'd back myself to make my small bubble of the world better for my kids and grandkids to follow on with, rather than successive governments to make the whole world better. Sad, but...

Interesting thread, good reminder of the privilege I have. I'm late thirties, owned a house since just before the financial crisis. My parents are "well off" now, though I now it was a struggle for them when they were younger. This gives me a lot of security which I am grateful for. I'm still...

Yes, it wasn't until I read a few of the biographies that I realised how much they punished their bodies etc. Most of them were addicted to painkillers, if not worse. Some of the full documentaries are really good, I'd recommend the Jake Roberts one.

I find it easier to manage our website than our apps, but we're not a bank. I would be very dissatisfied if this were my provider, too many people try and do too much on their phones. Most would be better off with a phone half as powerful and a pc at home.

I've not seen his own channel before, consider me subscribed. I have seen and enjoyed a lot of the Skill Builder videos, the channel can be a bit busy, but they put some good stuff out too https://www.youtube.com/user/skillbuilderchannel

My wife got me one of the AUKTools Marking Gauges from Wood Workers Workshop and I'm really pleased with it. It's the first one I've had though, so no basis for comparison.

I bought mine back in May and places were having trouble getting stock then.

Probably for a few hundred quid in ad revenue and a few hundred new subscribers to his channel.
