I've just moved house and have tonnes and tonnes of work to do. Built in cabinets etc etc. Also have a much larger workshop. I'm looking at a planer thicknesser and at the moment it seems like the Axminster AW2260S has good reviews and a spiral head. It's 1500 quid or so... But I also am...

sorry it's gone!

Still available everybody

yes i suspect it vents under the floor as well - thanks

No idea what the point of the vent is - but they are in the same position in the whole street. So not something that has been added later on. They are plastic windows... the problem started a couple of years ago. I suspect you're right that watering the flower box has made things worse.

This is still available - £30 collected in se18!
