That looks like a really good job, well done

My completely arbitrary markers were
3 weeks I cut a desk top out from ply and was absolutely spent afterwards - sofa bound after
4 weeks I walked up the stairs in waterstones and and could feel my heart really thumping but not out of breath
6 weeks I walked up a munro and felt 95% a little tight chested

I wish I had known about door blanks last weekend. I'm 90% of the way through making a hollow door covered in thin ply, it's worked relatively well so far but is very slightly bowed.

I think you should spend £60 extra on the door, I don't think it would be particularly time efficient to build it back up to a high standard. I'd have a go with a drill and chisel because most of the roughness will be hidden with the lock or hinges.

Someone in the research group I am part of has done some stuff around twitch and the creator economy. I think one of the difficulties people have with it is you need to be doing it every day without ever taking a holiday

I started to feel normal again about 5 weeks from onset of symptoms. Was speaking to someone about it recently who downed tools completely for 2 weeks whereas I tried to keep working for various reasons, he suggested if you still don't feel normal after a few weeks just take 2 weeks off and rest.

Am I right in thinking that a business wouldn't be paying vat anyway so that grant is actually equivalent to 60% off RRP if you were to buy through a business?

Ah I took that as cardboard box. My bike also fits in a bike box alan without problem. I think you can be relatively comfortable that it will turn up un-damaged but they are expensive

I've travelled a few times with bikes, you'll have to take both wheels off and seat post out. I'd also ask the bike shop for a big cardboard box as it makes it easier, of course! But you shouldn't have trouble.

A few years ago my girlfriend gave me this which was her hoarding grandfathers. At the time she saw it as a bit of a joke as it was so grubby and had a mind of its own, it stopped working after about 8 months. I hadn't found a shop that was interested in looking at it and was a little worried about taking it apart myself. So eventually I got the tools together, took it apart, replaced a couple of clips and did a bit of metal bending and it's back working. Has a touch screen calculator too, which is also now functioning!

We have a little courtyard back garden with a communal drain shared between 4 houses and we are the furthest away from the sewer. The trap at the sewer end was blocked with fat so our shared part was filling up with water. Scottish water came and sorted it, but in doing so dislodged more fat and unknowingly blocked it.

A couple of weeks later we had torrential rain and the back garden was 6 inches deep with water, running through the air bricks - I was quite glad we had the drain unblocking attachment!

"Is a Machine Screw a Bolt?
The exact difference between machine screws and bolts is not always clear, particularly as their appearance is similar. However, machine screws are typically smaller than bolts, although a more precise distinction is the way that they are tightened in a tapped hole.

Bolts tend to be driven home and then tightened fully by turning the nut on the rear side of the fastening. With machine screws, the majority of tightening force (torque) is applied to the head of the screw itself when driving it into a tapped hole.

A further dissimilarity for bolts vs machine screws is that while all machine screws can be effectively used as a type of bolt, the same is not necessarily true in reverse. In other words, not all bolts can perform the full range of functions as a machine screw."

I don't know what an example of the last paragraph is, but I think what you're talking about is a machine screw. But I think most people wouldn't know what you were talking about referring to them as machine screws :)

Fenix is a formica type coating which you can get on ply. It's more matt than formica and has basically no texture. You can also iron it to remove scratches.

Perth (an hour north of Edinburgh where I am) rather than Western Australia

How does this work with travelling after an isolation but still testing positive?

Perth

Yeah astronomically expensive new, these were £130 each. Still expensive for sure, but nothing like RRP!

I've had half an eye open for the last few months looking for stools and struggled to find any I really liked the look of. I now have 3 Artek bar stools with lino tops on the way!

I'm not sure what the chances of actually being positive with two positive lateral flow tests and a negative PCR test. But I found I continued to test positive on a pcr test for a month after having it, it's just you aren't contagious.

Hemp milk maybe fits your criteria. I had a cursory Google and there are barista versions which might not be fortified.

I got my girlfriend one from https://bluntumbrellas.co.uk/ through Amazon and it was about £35. It's survived the wind and rain in Edinburgh and looks almost new after a few years

Yeah seems good value, it's mostly not copy paste work

I walk by this regularly and always thought it looks nice inside. The Bonham Hotel

That fork's a weird looking thing

I guess this is really unlikely but is the indicator ring accurate at measuring the shock travel? Could there be something funny with it twisting and unwinding as it moves changing the final position?

I think the matt plastic makes it look a little rendered in that photo
