@hoefla Not fostering them, we adopted ! Tortie is ridiculously cute, which unfortunately means she getting the bulk of the attention.
@squidink Amazing. I hope she is good with moths too as we are getting more hovering our wardrobes than we would like.
I've just been informed by Mrs Hovis that she has already unleashed them into the wider home. Apparently they like the underside of the shoe rack.

Yeah that's the one. Used mine on a lot of mdf and osb so far. Perfect clean cuts each time. Not terrifying at all in practice. Can't see how you could hurt yourself in practice other than the offcuts falling on to your foot or something
-
Must admit, last night it had it's eye on a rather docile but still buzzing fly on a window that she couldn't reach, so I created a ladder for her to get up to it, and watched her kill and eat it over the space of about 15 minutes.
Our spider and fly situation has really improved since we got them.

Worth a look at underlay + shingles rather than a felt roll. Costs a bit more upfront but they should last a lot longer.
Regarding cutting sheet goods, you could ask the supplier to cut it to size for you. Usually a free service in places like B&Q and Selco. (Not Wickes). Downside is they can be off by a couple of mm, (mitigated by taking a tape measure with you and being pushy), and you would need to be double sure of the size.
Screwfix do a nice plunge saw for £100 or so if you ever fancy doing sheet cuts yourself. I've been using mine for so many things now and it's such a joy to use. Wish I'd bought it sooner.

Enter mother and 12 week old kitten to the Hovis household. From the lovely folk at Celia Hammond cat rescue centre in Lewisham. They have spent two nights in our house now, just keeping them in our kitchen living space area for now where they have a nice view of our garden and plenty of string to play with.
They seem to be settling nicely, although the little one doesn't seem to be eating much yet. Loves to play and is quite handy at catching flies. Mother seems to just mope about not doing very much, but does like attention and a cuddle. Am hoping she will liven up eventually, I'm guessing being separated from the rest of her litter and new surroundings is perhaps rather stressful. She's rather skinny so need to fatten her up a bit.
My plan is to give them access to the rest of the house tonight, although I worry about forgetting windows open and them bolting. Am trying to get in the habit of keeping all the doors and windows closed but its hard in this heat.
Anyways, not really sure why I'm writing all this, just sharing. Must be honest but I don't feel we have developed any kind of bond with them yet, which I think is also why we can't think of any names for them. Fingers crossed this changes soon.

Watch to the end. His response to the threat of "I'm going to call the police" is "It's a stolen car!!"

No failure at all, but a massive achievement. Have a rest and see how it feels, but don't beat yourself up over something you have no control over at this point. Be safe.

Have some split and slightly peeling ceiling paint to sort out due to a water spillage from the floor above. Would it be totally stupid to try and squeeze some super glue on it to hold it together before prime and paint? It's about 50mm dia circle in size hanging off about 1/3rd of its circumference.

Best place to get fence panels? Need 4 of them. Local builders merchant or are there specialists I should be looking at?

Watch out for different thicknesses of shoe. I developed hip problems when my new shoes had 3mm higher stack than my old ones. Took me months to figure it out
-
Never ever ever change shoes.
But if you must, I taped a spoke nipple on the phone boney part of inside and outside forefoot, put shoe on, mark with tippex on outside of shoe. Rinse and repeat with new shoe, then position the new cleat relative to those points the same as old.

Did Sagan crash?

Still got these. £30 now

Don't take it so personally? You could just reply saying no thank you and you never know, he might up his offer.

You have a track saw? Or even your circular saw guide you made. I found it much easier to trim to shape that way than with a planer.
The settling might be because you have the hinges quite close together. Any reason you didn't put them nearer to the top and bottom?
-
Looks great. Very tidy cuts on the rafters. I cheated with my doors and gave them an OSB back to make it easier to size up and made to fit.
-
Nice! How are you finding it? I have a plunge saw from them and it is much better than I was expecting for the price.
-
Leave the thickness of the sliding door gap between the skirting and the wall? Or cope the corner of the door the same shape as the skirting?
-
A lot of booing

Nice

Just saw this. No left over underlay I'm afraid. I do have a little over half a pack of grey 4 tab shingles if that's of any use to you.
