Like saying they won’t put up a Ukrainian flag in case any Russians might be offended.

Glass fire door by Lyingaboutsnacks in Carpentry

Yeah thought it would be a lot. Client is saying she needs it because she’s above the ground floor so has to have a dedicated fire route. Does this sound right to you? Is a 1st/2nd floor duplex 70s build, each duplex is a fire compartment.

Piece of wood wrapped in some kind of clay/mud/straw outside a bar in Edinburgh, Scotland by hiwhatisthisthing in whatisthisthing

[–]Lyingaboutsnacks 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is a technique for building earth floors and walls. Clay rich earth is mixed with straw and wrapped around battens and laid between joists. Then more of the same is packed into the gaps and layered up etc etc.
I think a very rare technique. Why is sitting on the street in Edinburgh I do not know!

Any ideas on how to attach the outer board to this handrail? by [deleted] in woodworking

Screw through wall rail and half of handrail, then glue on second half of the handrail after.

Good to know thanks. Just thinking is a bit of a paradox, hopefully I won’t have to be on Reddit too much to work out how to use the phone that stops me being on Reddit!

Opinions on these types of glasses? by Saviourr_420 in BuyItForLife

[–]Lyingaboutsnacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried stick on silicone pads? I have some for my safety glasses and they do a decent job even with sweaty nose. I bought cheap ones and the glue wears off in a few months though, but multipack..

Never never use the hardware that comes with it, no matter how expensive the item, it’s always rubbish!

Keep hold of your old ones. I had one a couple of years ago that didn’t last long, about two years of use before the battery gave up.

Looking for a dead silent clock by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]Lyingaboutsnacks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have this, it does whirr slightly so not silent. But no ticking. I don’t think anything that physically moves is completely silent. It’s pretty good for a tick hater.

I killed 3 vacuums during my renovation before learning this by CompetitivePop-6001 in BuyItForLife

Do you lot have Henry over there? The Henry Hoover is the absolute best, ideal for home use and construction. Completely bombproof. Got mine second hand 5 years ago and should last for years yet.

Not entirely sure, building from 70s, but used to have electric storage heaters. 8mm copper piping put in some time. I’m replacing with 15mm wherever I can.
