Yep, they also come as bi-fold for even bigger OCD hidey kitchen clutter cabinets, But in my experience unless they are going on well made solid timber doors sag issues become apparent very quickly.

I had loads of quotes from people that will come and do the whole thing and they were all £1500+

The work itself is pretty straightforward but if it goes wrong it can be costly to put right. Worst case scenario requiring everything ripping out and starting again. Because of the cost associated with putting right fuck ups margins tend to be quite high so that this can be swallowed when it does happen.

From what you've described it's straightforward, are you using mesh to re-enforce? Depending on the depth of the slab, I'd recommend hiring a poker it makes for a stronger slab as it chases out air bubbles, pushes the 'fat' (mortar) to the surface making floating it easier as well as being a great help moving the muck around and levelling it - just don't let the tip rest against the shutters for too long as it can cause them to blow.

Found the invoice; was just under £2k but that was tacked onto a trade order from a bespoke kitchen supplier for a client. So I have no idea if the discount came from quooker or the supplier writing it off because their margin was that much higher on the oodles of stuff they made and supplied.

You could always speak to the manufacturers technical advice people to be sure - all manufacturers of specialist construction products (and most of the non-specialist product manufacturers) employ experts to give advice to end users. Rather than y'know basing assumptions on a hunch and 5 minutes of experience.

I've installed a couple of things like this in recent years:

But built into runs of full height cupboards. The doors open to 90 degrees then can be pushed back into the cupboard so that they sit slightly proud of the unit when you've finished using the stuff you close the doors and regain the minimalist look of your kitchen.

Can't remember off the top of my head will look into tomorrow and get back to you.

Edit - Someones already answered.

Did they actually specify you need to remove the hammerite before painting with intumescent paint?

Yep. Bit of a problem getting the gas cannisters for sparkling water. It would appear that the gas cannisters are exported to the EU to be refilled or something (I land of glazed over when I was having it explained to me by customer services) then reimported meaning a double dose of tax to pay (I think) for quooker and a small availability issue while they figure out what to do about it. Other than that its great.

I don't care when I'm toasty warm.

Sorry for taking a while to came back on this, I've been busy working on my callouses and (perhaps foolishly - there must be easier songs) trying to teach myself fingerstyle by learning to play Going to California.

Yes it's a 10e.

Speaking from the point of view of someone who does woodworking for a living the way it's constructed is very interesting and efficient. The back and sides are made from layered sapele / poplar / sapele with crossed grain (basically a VERY high quality plywood) that has presumably been shaped in a machine press. The back has a belly to it similar to what you'd see on an es 335. All this means that the back and sides only need kerfing and no other bracing so relatively unskilled labour cam be used to make them. This allows skilled labour to focus on getting the really critical parts right (soundboard, neck, fretboard etc) and is I think a really good way to go about making a cheaper instrument without sacrificing too much of the quality that a company like Taylor is built on.

Don't want to add to the heartache but.....

You're right the spacing doesn't look right also and it may just be the photo but the a string slot doesn't look right to me either; it looks as if the filing of the the slot has gone wrong then been filled with bone dust and super glue. Which will shorten the lifespan a fair bit.

If anyone is interested Andertons are raffling off some nice guitars with all proceeds going to Teenage Cancer Trust.

Not too sure what them being signed does apart from flattering the ego of the two guys presenting.

Sorry to hear about that it sounds like a shit situation to be in. Hope you can get it sorted.

Funny first half. I'm happy at how we played to get into a very dominant position. After the collision between between Graham and halfpenny we lost our head and discipline.

I was shocked to see England take a tap penalty in the run up to their first try. Last time I saw that happen at international level was before the law was changed and if you kicked to touch after the clock turned red the match ended.

Very good indeed.

3 minute try for Italy Jones' job looks somewhat perilous now - England will win but it's not good optics after last week.

Here's my selection.

Scotland have selected our two most exciting wingers who have very difficult styles of play. If we can get the ball to them (you don't need to get it to Van Der Merve he comes looking for it) they should both score. I rate Dupont highly and think the French centres and Dulin have a decent chance of getting the scoreboard ticking, so that left me with Ford at FH. Pack is still built around Gray and Itoje (honestly I think this could be the lions engine room) was the 'Mish on the flank replacing injured Ritchie. The rest were points based selections.

Went for Farrell on the bench because he's starting and will get a good points haul even named him SuperSub because I thought it was a sly move - then I read the rules but couldn't be bothered changing things again. the 2 Italian subs are points based selections.

They're more dangerous because the blades are attached directly to a heavy flywheel. That accident was unusual because the motor was running when it happened; usually shit goes wrong after the operator hits the off button and the blade is running down. Also worth noting that generally European machines have a different type of guard that does not return automatically - the idea being that as it becomes automatic to return the guard to safe and because it's a process you have to follow you know the machine is returned to a safe state and also once the guard is in place it can't be pushed out of the way accidentally.

chippy sauce isn’t beige and that’s heaven.

If you request chippy sauce on the west coast you'll get chased out of the shop! Mainly because folk from the west coast are jealous that they didn't come with the idea.

Mah black puddin's nae beige son!

Edit - unless it's bought battered and fried from a chippy.

Thanks everyone now all I need to do is get a talent transplant so I can do this:

So I hit the big 40 today. My family who are normally shit beyond words when it comes to surprises managed to pull a rather nice one out if the bag.

It's so nice to play the neck is just what I like and is very similar to my electric the comfort carve on the top hip is brilliant. The tone is bright and vibrant while being punchy.

It turns out that my brother has learnt to be subtle and found out what I like while enjoying himself guitar shopping.

Don't mind admitting I teared up when I opened it.

They're for 6 to 8mm screws. There are plenty of 6mm screws on the Screwfix website is there a reason why your after 8mm in particular?

Just tried to pay the outstanding balance on my latest tax return and couldn't do it. Phoned HMRC and spent a long time on hold getting a little bit more pissed off with every passing minute. When I got through I discovered that what I thought was a balance to pay was a rebate. FUCKING BONUS! I was no longer pissed off.
