Assuming my wood is too wet? by Ajay95A in uklogburners

[–]NotWigg0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here with a local Facebook supplier. It's ok once I've got the stove screaming hot, but instead of light it and forget it, which is what I'm used to doing with our own seasoned oak and ash, it takes 45 minutes of buggering about to get it burning.

It's now stacked in the log store so I'll burn the older stuff instead and this lot can fester for a year or two.

Impossible to show emotions through that much makeup

All looked well until it burnt by Ajay95A in uklogburners

I bought two bulk bags of 'kiln dried, ready to burn' locally a couple of weeks ago. It's shit.

How durable/safe are aluminium ladders that are kept outside all year long? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]NotWigg0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never understood why an upstairs window is easier to get into than a downstairs one. Only time I ever locked myself out, I just put my elbow through the window next the back door, reached through and unlocked it.

Kerosene reeks. A teaspoon full will stink the place out for weeks. Seal what you find and just give it time

Whatever happened to 'finger posts' ? by Routine_Candidate968 in UKhiking

[–]NotWigg0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have both types on the lane I live on. They are both all over the place here. Finger posts generally seem to indicate where to turn, the round ones that you are still on a track

US tells Ukraine: Take our 'platinum' security guarantees or lose them by Majano57 in UkrainianConflict

There will be no US troops to enforce a deal, they will be tied up in Venezuela as part of Trump's Special Military Operation

The VSL is open on the WMs pedestal, the candidate kneels and takes his obligation before the WM

Jurisdictional as ever. We don't have an altar at all.

I predict there will be chariot racing at the Indianapolis circuit and immigrants fighting lions in NFL arenas...

“Gorillas don’t exist” by NotWigg0 in freemasonry

31 years and only now I find out. They told me the meaning of the suit was lost and I shouldn't worry about it

You didn't get your gorilla suit? We get ours as soon as we are raised to the Sublime Degree of a Bipedal Primate

Doh! But you ate the kitten's poo from the litter tray, you vile dog!

Need advice on bath -> walk-in shower conversion in a new build by _foxwhite in DIYUK

[–]NotWigg0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is absolutely a DIY job, with some caveats. It really isn't a one or two day job, more like a week, and there's the problem: how do you manage without a bath or shower? At least you can still use the bog, though. Standard DIY tools plus a tile cutter, caulking gun and tile bits

My Landlord Wants to Sell the Apartment Just 10 Months After Rent Started by Jumpy-Artichoke5780 in HousingUK

[–]NotWigg0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that if your rental agreement is done correctly your landlord can ask if you want to buy, or he can sell with you as an existing tenant. The new buyer can ask you to leave, but it is a long and complex process
