There I was, happily playing Bejewelled, when an ad popped up.
It was an ad for Save the Crocodiles or something, with a little video explaining how terrible French fashion firms are farming these poor little things inhumanely.
No, no, internet algorithm overloads...! : I WANT a crocodile handbag.
Preferably in dark brown, if you can manage it.

Boarding up my loft is grinding my gears .
12 packs of boards and it still seems like I’m only just touching the sides.
I now live in a bungalow, so the living space footprint is big compared to my old house.
B&Q must be rubbing thier hands in glee when they see me coming into the car park!
Boarding up lofts is dark, dusty and fugking BORING! ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

1. I was planning a leisurely day of catching up on my admin, and its turned into a frantic evening of running about like a blue-arsed fly
2. Lawrence just brought in a small rat, dropped it and it ran off. IN MY BEDROOM
3. I've not yet had time to eat properly today and I am fucking Hank Marvin. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Anyway, I've charged about a bit now, and now have time to finish making the dinner I started making this morning (beef with chilli and ginger gravy)
Lawrence has re-caught the rat but has not made his usual meal of it. He usually only leaves me a morsel, but today he seems to have just ripped out the carotid artery and the heart, and left me enough for a rat sandwich. He must have known I was Starvinho ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

make sure you leave space between the insulation and the boards for moisture to escape. |

...and that if you seal the loft by going right into the eaves, put in some air-bricks. Lofts need to breath otherwise moisture builds up, lats rot, rafters go mushy and you reduce the lifespan of your roof. ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

This... If you are going to use the space for anything other than light storage, chances are you'll need to double up on your joists. Not what you want to hear after you've boarded I appreciate! ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Experience has taught me that the first step of flooring a loft is to enlarge the hatch so it'll take full size floor boards. Second stage is sort out the lighting. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Tinnitus
Had it all my life, but seems to have got worse of late, typing this it sounds like waterfall/motorway road noise just outside bedroom window.

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 3 years, 100 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
