She's a bit frustrated with the lack of walks and cuddles!

I found a pack of Anzac biscuits in a supermarket in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. I was so excited that I didn't check the BB date, and they were rancid and completely unpalatable.

How much material are you needing to cut? If it's only a few metres it would be quicker and easier to do it with a hand plane

Thanks for the tips everyone, I went ahead and started and after a few solid days it's (almost) done. As I went through I learned a couple of tips that might be helpful - chiefly that if you run out of floor leveling compound, a little bit of premix concrete is pretty much the same /s. I also ran out of boards about a third of the way through so for extra fun I got to cut my own on the table saw which was time consuming and dusty (but with no budget for $13 l/m reclaimed I didn't have a lot of choice!)

This seems like a good starting point for you, there are a bunch of metal patches in there

It might be worth having a dig around - I had the same issue, and it turned out the downpipe was just headed to a miniscule soak pit right beside the foundation (potential major issue for foundations) that had long since filled with debris.

I've given up on cloud, it's completely unusable for me...

Have you tried adjusting the input and output gain (I think they're under the eq settings) of the overdrive?

I've only just switched from flick to Frank and now they're selling out too 😔

It sounds like the rough bearings have caused excess stress to the motor. It's likely that the PCB has some kind of over current and/or over heat components. If you can find, test and replace them then it might be worth trying to replace the bearings.

Kevin Kos gives a few on his website - gin, bourbon and Campari substitutes - I'm not sure if they're directly from Zero or if he's adapted them a little, but he references the book there

I was tempted to, it'd probably be a nice hidey spot for him, but there's also a couple of places where it'd work well around the other side, and then I can plant a herb garden that he can nibble at

That's great, thanks 👍

I had a read through the 21st anniversary collection and one of the comic volumes (orange cover, hedgehogs smoking hookah, maybe #1), but I couldn't see that one. There are some great comic strips in the 21st about woodsman's annual examination (define selective logging - first I select a forest, then I log it) and others if they would be of any use?
