Word to the wise, when we got laminate (14mm mid range quality) installed, the installer (a local company) specifically said to protect the floor if we were using an office chair, as the laminate won't wear well with wheels rolling back and forth. Hopefully not an issue with commercial grade...

Surely anyone who isn't making a living from it is just pretending to be a wood worker? That's what I had in mind when I built my workshop, unfortunately height and width limitations can't into play. Next one, at the bottom of the garden, will be more like this! Anyway back to the OP, I knock...

The CEO is not going to be looking at individual risk logs. You need to look at the agenda and minutes of board meetings to see if it's being discussed. You can ask to make a presentation or report to the board on your progress on that big Excel, the overall status of the school, and the top 5...

You'd make a fortune on OnlyFans..

here's just one study. http://www.tara.tcd.ie/bitstream/handle/2262/98192/Caulfield et al 2022.pdf?sequence=1 "...our findings suggest grants are most prominent in affluent, urban areas with high levels of public transport usage and/or availability. Similarly,Carroll et al. [68] has shown that...

Some to me like Bingy is looking for the best sort of advice; that which confirms what he already thinks! 🤪 Time to pull out the"bad back/no machinery/job too big/ honestly best thing to do is get landscapers in" card...

You already know it's going to end badly, plus you'll be forever on call to fix up any problems for the next 20 years. Plus making good whatever damage happens to the shed when dismantling or rebuilding. Plus this person has already history with rows... Don't mix business and family. If you...

On point article; Car auctions are full of used EV bargains – but should you take the plunge? Best quote; I get the feeling that the electric cars we’re seeing now are kind of the Betamax video before VHS — Merlin O’Reilly, Merlin Car Auctions

That is true, most energy is generated by fossile fuel still, but one could also argue the pollution is being removed from the street at least. Tbh in my opinion EVs are another one of two things; Conspicuous Consumption, or Virtue Signaling. If EVs were about the environment, they'd all be...

I filed sharp the prong on a old pincer and was able to wedge the thin end under and pry it off. The shaft had broken. A packet of new ones from Thomas flynn as mentioned, bought two dozen cos why not, and have plenty left! DItto for the second saw.

In 2023; A coffee cup from the 'de Simone per Torrisi' set, from Palermo Sicily "dropped" (ebay) A tall boy by a Danish designer, from the Netherlands, "broken by the truck" (vintage furniture online marketplace) A Seiko SKX007 'Japan' version, from Germany, 'broken' (ebay) A freestanding...

The number is times I've bought something from an auction site or online seller only to be told "I dropped it" or "It broke"... people don't realise they aren't putting up the correct T&C, especially for postage costs (I'm in RoI). It's a pain.

Re. Work; trust is a maths problem; (relationship X time). I think some of your stress is due to changing personalities disrupting the relationships and reducing trust. You probably need to consciously reset the relationship with god communication of expectations, both theirs, and yours. To...

Anyone feel like running away? Yeah, all the time. I did it once too, and I ran really far and stayed away a long time. What I now refer to as my 'mid-life crisis at 30'. I burnt some people who were very important to me (one especially so), and there was no going back. But I learnt that...
