Aha!

There are some insulated ones on sale too

Wiggle and chain reaction won’t ship to my bog standard uk address. Or my parents etc.

Is this the end?

Thanks everyone, I’ll try some five tens first because they be CHEAP on Evans/Mike Ashley et al

New mtb, new me.

What flat downhill type shoes are there with super wide toe boxes (bont/vivobarefoot/etc style) any any good?

So far I found some fizik that look the right shape but I’ve always found them to be too narrow generally (in road shoes & spds)

Garden derby / hedge hopping

Someone should make a meme out of that

A lot of variation in Oxfordshire even within the Vale of the White Horse. Knock knock ginger in Watchfield/Shrivenham.

Pretty sure Madhias did

you’ve got nothing to apologise for or feel guilty about. Good luck with the surgery, do all the physio and more, will be good. Glad to hear all your updates and that Nihil the void is an outdoor cat :)

Roll on 2024!

Likewise. Your project, photos, attitude and modesty kept me coming back. Best wishes wherever you find yourself.

Third dibs

@HatBeard did - a bit here

I dug a trench and paid an electrician

you’re changing my mind. Fuck the Gas Safe guy. Go temp electric, get another quote for gas, look into enviro-alternatives.

Ha, indeed. And bleekrefs has no heating or cooking and it’s chilly oot.

^^i was wondering that. It crossed my mind it could be a stitch up but I assumed/hoped that @ReekBlefs had selected someone he was comfortable with/trusted to do the initial job. Hopefully they demonstrated the leak somehow - it must be possible if it is identifiable.

I think this will end up costing a lot more. I would be pissed off, and it’s super shit timing with the weather being so cold. I think I would end up sucking it up and trying to make myself feel positive about it.

You can fill it and redrill it, but my experience sorting a similar hole left from a curtain pole involved hacking back quite a lot of shit plaster and building it up in layers. It looks great now but was time consuming. You may be able to get something fast drying.

You need to clear out as much loose as possible, pva + water the surface you’re filling (I think 1:5 pva to water, can’t imagine it matters much) and then fill. I have just bought some bonding plaster to fill some big holes (following electrician’s visiting) and some easifill 60 for the final surface.

NB I don’t actually know what I’m doing, I’m an enthusiastic and largely successful bodger.

You have a valid point. Cross posting your own ad isn’t allowed. And people do get unfairly piled on for honest mistakes.

But I’d prefer the tandem has as much chance of being recommissioned and ridden as possible, I’ve never met @sparky and I’d have done the same for you 😘

Delete the original link @Sparky?

Resolved? #tandemridersridetogether

Saw this cute tandem on eBay, someone save it from a slow death in a Catford garden.

Looks like you’re not the first person with the problem.

Is this a viable solution? Maybe not for physical space reasons, but maybe it would work?

Yes, but maybe not enough.

You can keep most of the pipework but shorten the white pipe between the two screw fittings (just to the left of your arrow) and lengthen the black pipe at the back. It looks like that would only save you a couple of CMs though.

Or you could use something like this to replace the lot.

That’s the first one I googled - “low profile sink waste” or “low profile sink trap” so that might not be perfect but you get the idea

Yes, although I only use them for 30 mins max, but they’ve never shown any sign of running out

Buy the gloop! Will be reet
