You clearly know your onions, but I'm afraid you are mistaken, it isn't empty. If it wasn't illegal to own without the paperwork I could have taken out the contents and counted them, so let's, for argument's sake, pretend that there's... fifteen.

I didn't bring it home, you understand. This is a purely theoretical question.

Not worth a new thread, I'll use this one. Quick question for you fellas. Theoretically, what could someone that doesn't own a gun do with a handful of. 22 LR ammo that they, I don't know, found washed up on a beach somewhere? Indoor fireworks display? Exciting chemistry experiment? Unnecessarily dangerous practical joke? Novelty cufflinks? Launch a very small rocket into orbit? Daft question I know, but humour me.

Jesus, this is taking some doing. Tell you what, the next house will be easier to build. Haven't updated much, I'll try to fix that.

I got a cherry, plum, and apricot, all patio sized, from Lidl about three years ago. The apricot died, and so did its replacement, but the cherry went from five fruits to fifty to feck knows, very reliable. The plum did the same, five-ish fruits in year one, enough to make the tree worthwhile in year two, and it got bitten by a late frost this year, with one wrinkly little prune surviving. Definitely worth the money, all in all.

If it's hollow, stick a platform in it and put a comfy chair up there. Lovely place to hide for a while when it all gets too much.

I'll be making a good few diagonal offcuts to get the herringbone pattern, but my fireplace ash all gets rotated through the compost system for the garden. So no tar allowed, unfortunately. Might use the offcuts to make a mini parquet floor in the dog's kennel, I don't know.

That's really interesting you said that, the old school for around 1500 kids I went to back in England is currently being replaced by a new build megaschool on the edge of town, there's whole buildings worth of science blocks with heavy desks and big sinks going to be demolished at some point in the future. Definitely worth keeping an eye on.

Harsh but fair.

Our reclaimed teak downstairs prevents underfloor heating, so it's radiators both upstairs and down. It's currently at concrete subfloor downstairs with the parquet in it's future, and osb upstairs, with whatever cheap wood floor we can find. Not massively interested in bare cement floors in the bedrooms.
-
I doubt that would fit with my wife's aesthetic, to be honest. She was surprisingly receptive to the palletwood floor idea, which I wasn't expecting, and I'm allowed to have it in the shed. Awfully kind of her.

You really couldn't ask for better for him. Sounds like a top dog. Hats off to him.
-
We've always got our eye on the local ebay, donedeal.ie, for some good floor. My wife is particularly keen on the idea of an old sports hall or basketball court, something like that.
-
Could probably spring for thicker than 6mm, but that's good to know. We wouldn't be thinking of it for the ground floor because of all the heavy traffic, but we might get away with it upstairs. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I quite like the OSB look anyway, but my wife says we can't keep it.
-
Definitely looking around for cheap floor options, but with 96m² needed, nothing will end up that cheap. My only worry is that the cheapest option will end up being more of the reclaimed teak that we are currently wrestling for the ground floor which, frankly, sucks balls.

I might be wrong about the specifics here but I'm fairly certain that shreds of graphite floating around the capsule led to some wiring short circuiting and the firey deaths of a number of crew members, which prompted the Americans to try and solve the problem, and the Soviets to say "ach, no big deal, plenty more astronauts where they came from," an attitude which defined the two different approaches to the space race by the superpowers in question. In short, it was a serious problem that absolutely needed to be addressed.

Morning all, Anyone ever put in a plywood finish floor? Looking at doing one for the upstairs of our new house. I mean, we can't afford anything else, except maybe a reclaimed palletwood floor... I'm wondering what thickness (or lack of it) I'd get away with doing. It's just OSB at the moment. Google images shows a mixed bag of results, some look great, others less so. I imagine a lot of it depends on luck of the draw with what your ply looks like, which is tricky to control. Most people seem to top it with a thick coat of polyurethane, with or without a stain of some kind. Any opinions?

Rummaging around in old threads shows a much wider user base than we've got today, but this is pretty much the case for Internet forums in across the whole wide world wide web, which have been in general decline for a decade now. I don't know if the boss has any numbers available to confirm this, but it's certainly something I've observed and heard discussed on various forums I've been through and occasionally left over the last twenty years. It's may or may not be true that some people have left because of a few of the more argumentative members, but they definitely aren't responsible for the overall decline. -
I like the poetry of some of their work, in the same vein as John Cooper Clarke or some tracks by the Streets. It doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't.

I'm sorry?
-
From what I can gather, it's the microplastics that carry the lion's share of the blame for that. Who needs condoms when you've got an AstroTurf lawn...
-
Not with that attitude. I'm sure you could find somewhere on the hill if you tried hard enough.

Seconded. Incredible machines. The really cool bit is when they start doing slopes too steep to drive up under their own steam, so they attach a cable to an uphill anchor and winch themselves up, still grooming, or lower themselves down. Care needs to be taken by enthusiastic ski mountaineers returning from after-hours adventures in the high mountains, often skiing along in the dark under the light of a head torch, some of whom have been not-quite decapitated but most certainly killed outright after skiing into the cables which are, inevitably enough, often found at neck height. Whoops!
