    Good patio / moss cleaner

    Yeah, didn't look, but the ingredients are probably bleach based. Didn't require washing off and sweeping though, it was literally spray and leave, nice and easy. Cheers

    We need to see photos..... :)(y) But the mantra is, and always will be, you can never have enough sheds or a large enough shed. My old house had a small shed 10'x8' ish. My new house has a garage 18'x9 'ish, plus I have a small garden shed 6'x4', plus a cabin (12'x9') and its still not enough...

    Not exactly off topic, slot together shed/cabin repairs

    I have log cabins, the timbers are much thicker (and therefore heavier) than a standard shed, eg: shiplap boards, etc. So the bases have to be able to take the weight. As suggested above I'd look at possibly jacking it up, and installing packers, if the base is ok, or compressing the whole...

    Very good, cheap and effective task lighting - Ikea

    [sigh] Not everyone has access to or the budget for the "best" lights, so we have to make do with cheap alternatives. For me, the two lights I bought do the job. They improve on the lighting I already had, they are good value, they are flexible, can be moved, etc and light the space in the way I...

    Very good, cheap and effective task lighting - Ikea

    Hi, yep sorry should have added dimensions. Tertial lamp has an arm length of 800mm, with joint in the middle, so folds roughly in half at 400mm. The shade diameter is 170mm. Light can be rotated in pretty much any direction. The Navlinge light is 360mm long max, and can be bent / rotated to...

    Very good, cheap and effective task lighting - Ikea

    Hi, I have just installed two task lights from Ikea and I would highly recommend them. In my garage / workshop I had one main central ceiling light. I initially change this to two, one at each end of the garage. But I found that sometimes when working at my benches, the work area was in shadow...

    Can I change keyed chuck to keyless?

    Oh ok, why, are keyless not as good? I'm new to pillar drills.... As above, why? I thought keyless was easier to use, I would be genuinely interested to know what experienced folks think, as this is new to me. My only experience is with (many) hand drills, and keyless is far quicker and easier...

    Border around pillar drill stand to stop sawdust?

    It should not get in the way, I'm talking about the work stand that the pillar drill sits on, so its below the pillar drill stand (base plate), which itself is below the moveable drilling table holder. Sorry think I did not explain it well. So when drilling the sawdust falls off the drilling...
