The other option is hire a Luton van with a tail lift for the weekend - easy to secure (back it up to the house ..!) and the tail lift makes it easy to load and unload. My local place has them for less than £150 for a weekend so that should be plenty of time if you want to clear the garage etc...

Beware with the cheap air tool sets - they sometimes fix in the adapters with a locking adhesive that cannot be removed so if the adapters aren’t correct you can’t remove them !

Not in my experience ! Varnish chips, Osmo worktop oil seems to take pretty much anything thrown at it and easily fixed as others have said. All finishes have their place but for American white oak in a kitchen, osmo oil every time.

They went through one of the big auction houses a couple of weeks ago in job lots - someone is just reselling them by the look of it.

@Stigmorgan not much more I can add other than you’re not alone … reach out to those organisations people have mentioned and get talking. Just on holidays, your Employer has a legal requirement to allow you to take 15 days exc bank holidays as a statutory minimum so they cannot decline any...

M16 /2mm left hand is a standard thread used on rose joints in motorsport - think I may even have some lying around if you want to try one ..?

Local laser cutter does that sort of stuff from a drawing and even gave me the CAD setup file to check. Really good prices last time I had stuff done. Laser Cutting Mansfield, Nottinghamshire | Laser Limited

Build the ground up 2” around it as it’s measured from the highest ground level and just go with 6x2 then !!

that’s overkill for a shed !! He’s covering his gentlemen’s vernaculars with that comment ..!! I don’t think you have as big an issue as you think, but it’s going to cost a bit to fix. Fitch plates are the way to go but they need to be full depth of the beam and bolted into place - you’ll need...

You can pick up 100 litre receivers for not a lot of money so if you have a compressor already you can use that to provide a buffer between the compressor and the blasting cabinet. Some can be mounted vertically and they are around 350mm diameter by 900mm tall so fairly easy to find a home for...

Blocks tend to be quite porous - I would go a couple of courses of engineering bricks with a DPC on the top and then it’s belt and braces. Use 100/600mm roof straps to hold the lot down - angled ones Tapcon screwed into the concrete floor and then screwed to every other upright.

Wickes own brand scrubbable matt white is good - less than £20 for 5 litres if you get a trade card which is dead easy to do https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Tough+Washable-Matt-Emulsion-Paint---Pure-Brilliant-White-No-0---5L/p/121920

I have the same nailer and as a few people have said, it will do anything up to 50mm with no issues. Sets the head just below the surface every time. Think mine runs happily from 3.5bar upwards although I only use it on softwood and ply - never tried it on hardwood.

Some of the benefit with heat pumps when you combine them with underfloor heating and a concrete slab is load shifting - that is you use the slab as a large storage heater and then you can run the heat pump overnight, and the slab then releases its heat during the day. Doesn’t work with rads and...

That’s not how it works - the air is the heat to turn a refrigerant liquid into gas (think a big fridge) and then the reverse is done by a plate heat exchanger with water - essentially the heat / cool cycle is in the ASHP and at which point the warm water ends up in the house system. The issue...

Used to be the case but not any more - most have inverter drives that spin up the compressors slowly and no spikes in current draw although they do recommend using C curve RCBOs due to the “shape” of the ramp up Most ASHP are rebadged compressor units anyway - see a lot of Mitsubishi and...

Your issue here will be power loss on the cable too. If it’s nominal 20mm SWA, most likely to be 3 core 10mm or 2 core 16mm using an earth spike at the garage end. You’ll get a ~10v drop with both on that length, ideally if it is 16mm 2 core then you could go to a 40A breaker where the current...

Multisolve or brake cleaner are what I use to clean threads etc and let it dry, don’t wipe it. Surprised it moved as it’s good stuff. Can you get a pair of slim jam nuts side by side on the shaft .?

A&V Squires from Southwell would cover that area - they have done stuff for me in the past and tricky jobs too. Your issue will be if the drain is to be adopted by the authorities as it will need to meet minimum standards and depths - is this a foul water or storm water drain and where is it...

Loctite 638 is the one to use however you need to properly clean the threads and degrease before hand
