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!

Looks like a nice wedding.

That's my worry. Peace be with you, brother.

Just as an FYI, seeing as you've mentioned that you have 6 kids of your own, and with the LGBTQ+ community totalling around 9% of the global population, it definitely isn't certain that one of your own will join the club, but the odds aren't looking good for you. Fingers crossed, if the day ever comes, you'll be able to drag your mindset out of whatever bronze age dungeon it was forged in and into the light of the 21st century. The recent episode concerning Rafael Cruz and his poor daughter spring to mind. Anyway. On with the day.

Top craic dude. More people should give it a go. If they weren't scared of what it might awaken...

Methinks the ladyboy doth protest too much!

Don't worry guvnor, secret's safe with me 👀

I thought you didn't care what hand people write with, but since you asked. I've been known to wear a dress on occasion in my younger days, mostly at music festivals or around Mardi Gras. I've found that my cracking pins and nice tight buns, when viewed from behind, followed by the discovery of a beard when viewed from the front, can lead to some amusing encounters for all concerned. Want to see a picture, you saucy devil? Anyway, you know how some of the most vehemently-homophobic politicians and pundits are, quite frequently it seems, discovered gobbling cock in public toilets or the like? How it's often a front for their own internalised homosexuality? If you want to wear a nice pair of heels and schlap on a bit of lippy mate, go for it. No-one will mind. Except people like you.

Hard to find anywhere comfy on a building site, but dogs will do their best.

It's because we are all very sinister.
