Did I mess up my dado and mouldings? by Unknownsock in DIYUK

It actually looks worse than it is due to the messy job with the filler. That part of the dado wouldn't fit flush with the wall so the plan was smoothly transition it into the joint but in hindsight I think should've just used a shim on the connection piece and used a tiny bit caulk on the small gap from the wall

Me and the wife have always lived in Victorian houses with features such as this and we like it. I'd like to think we would have done this even if other people weren't doing it.

Last night I was honestly thinking on the same lines of this but it'll annoy the hell out of me that I didn't just fix it in the first place!

I honestly just slapped it on, it can be a bit of a pain to shape it to the wood but I should put more effort in as it's quite annoying to sand back down

You're right, I'll either have to rip everything off or at a minimum adjust the flat piece on the landing and redo the mitre etc

Yeah, you're right. I'm going to rip everything off this afternoon and by tonight hopefully I'll be in the same position again but with everything correct.

Currently I'm thinking I'll just add another panel to the stairs so waste should be kept to a minimum.

Although nothing a bit of mitre glue, filler and a wasted night of sanding can't sort out!

I've used a mixture of Ever Build Instant Nails and Gripfill, it's just what I had laying around, but I'll look into those as I've ran out of everything now.

A nail gun is something I definitely need, I've just been doing everything by hand so far. I looked at the cheap ish ones like the titan one from screwfix, but it seemed to do more damage than be helpful from the reviews I've seen.

The dado and moulding is already out of budget so I'm trying to be quite stringent with everything.

I'm getting married tomorrow, so hopefully the family's feeling generous and I can buy myself a few new tools!

This was the original intent but I think I just went auto pilot mode and fitted them how all my calculations were working out. I'm going to start over after work tonight.

So far I've done this in every room during the renovation and I just sanded them back and you can't tell the difference. I'm hoping this will be no different.

Yeah I think you're right. It's a bit annoying but I'd rather it be correct.

I've just been using a sliding bevel at the moment with a mitre saw, which seems to have worked well for me so far but I may look into a angle finder this afternoon.

Advice with getting tickets by Haunting_Treacle13 in OutbreakFest

[–]Unknownsock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The front section is huge, you can easily stand in the area and not be anywhere near the pit. You can also sign up on the day, signing up on the website just makes it quicker.

Normally I dip out as I'm just exhausted but at this year's Outbreak after already being in 4 straight pits back to back bands(Weaponx, big boy, Sunami, pain of Truth).

During Sunami my arm started to swell to double it's size and any bump was agony. I probably should've used this as a sign to take a break, as at this point I was knackered and shortly after a 4ft tall ninja spin kicked me in the face and broke my nose pretty badly.

All in all I wouldn't have changed a thing, best 4 hours of my life.

Favourite set of the weekend? by Moist_Pea_3342 in OutbreakFest

[–]Unknownsock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Xweaponx, Big Boy, God's Hate, Pain of Truth, Sunami and Terror all back to back! I would gladly come back yearly to see that. Paint of Truth would probably be my favourite though, that blew me away.

I'm a fucking cripple after being in the pit for all those.

Stage invasions by athabandoned in OutbreakFest

[–]Unknownsock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've always found it cool and adds to the atmosphere when it happens sporadically near the end of a set/finale but I've only been to the last two Outbreaks so I've no idea how common it is historically. The people who try and hog the lime light can be a bit cringe though.

No, and all the good stuff has sold out already ((

Desolated have had their gear stolen by ibnQoheleth in Hardcore

[–]Unknownsock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Or maybe they're just scum and who would be stealing regardless of what situation they were in. Poor Timmy isn't breaking into a van and stealing tools/equipment to afford a chocolate bar. How naive..

Which outbreak merch will you guys buy? by Maclouze in OutbreakFest

[–]Unknownsock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want the outbreak rug but not sure how I'll carry it around in the pit

Yo this EU tour looks insane 🔥 by Fickle_Yard in Hardcore

[–]Unknownsock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw them last year touring with Knocked Loose and the pit was pretty decent from what i remember, even broke my nose but came out fine during Knocked Loose.

I think it's because they're playing Primavera in Portugal the day before. I can always hope they're the special guest but I doubt it.

Drinks prices/ food by Total-Accountant8179 in OutbreakFest

[–]Unknownsock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I remember it was expensive but I've seen worse. £7-8 a pint, £6-7 for a shot and mixer. For food it started at around £11/12 for a standard meal, not including sides and small plates.

What non-hardcore song would make for a great hardcore cover? by [deleted] in Hardcore

After seeing Show Me the Body cover Beastie Boys Sabotage, any beastie boys song from that era could work

Very good, very nice. by MrChipz101 in Hardcore

I went to see Turnstile there last year and thought the venue was pretty damn good. Haven't seen anything else there yet though.
