Morning folks, resembled Bob Fleming from the fast show last night.

Another shawl started so it will give me an excuse to rest up.

Does anyone else have the weird tradition of making sure there is no laundry that is dirty in the house for new years? I didn't empty my washing pile one year and it was the year that was horrific for me.

Mother hippo does somefink about not washing on certain days or yer wash a life away. Burreye dun't know which days.

So you are flooring upstairs with scaffold planks?
Well there's a novelty!!
Pics or it never happened!

Yup the floor will be done in scaffold planks, ive done a few floors with them using a floor sander then finish with linseed oil.
I done a local pub a few years ago & they look outstanding when they are finished. Pics will follow.

Yes, I like doing that sort of thing. As a way of buying timber, they're actually pretty good value. Thicker than standard floorboarding, so they add a bit of structural rigidity too. If you can get 'unbanded' ones you don't even have to mess about talking the metalwork off. Not just floors either. Mantelpieces, compost bins, sheds, henhouses, bridge decks. I like making things out of scaffolding planks.

Never heard of that one... not exactly superstitious but there are one or two 'procedures'... Mrs thinks its OCD and a friend bigs it up but she's covering for the fact that she really is OCD.

You used to be able to buy new boards for 8 sovs each, a local lad here sells em for 22.50. I think I need another 20
to do the main floor area in the garage, once ive got my lead off I'll be heading to the garage to wire a light upstairs
ive got all the seating ect out my boat up there so need work round that.

Morning. Cold here & bort a load of gas yesterday to make sure we don't run out.

Late night after a trawl round DIY shops due to shutting early today, not open 1 Jan, need stuff for Thu.

Got some metal doors amongst other things.

Thats sounds very cool. Ive got a small table to do for a camper van. Im looking for old car badges then I'll do a clear resin pour.
Got a few wee projects to get done first.

I can only get them with the metal banding on, My neighbour made planters out of the boards I got her which looked superb.

@Stanleysteamer First pics of upstairs...........

kevstar · Tuesday at 14:55

Having a coffee then im going back out, im in 2 minds whether to put the boards through the planner or sand them once they
are buttoned down. I do like all the imperfections which shows up once oiled.
