Re: What have you done today thread?
I'm doing bugger all today as I'm recovering from yesterdays hoonery. Noticed that everyone is still hauling ass when driving. Average traffic speed on the freeway yesterday was 95, at one point I was with 4 cars & we were all going 120.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Had a nightmare with plumbing today, or at least the plumber did. He was only supposed to be here a couple of hours redirecting waste from the bath and sink into the soil pipe from the toilet and eliminating the sagging, unsuitable pipe that it was running in. But when the floorboards came up it turned out the soil pipe was cast iron, so he literally went under the floorboards with a head torch on and smashed out the cast and refitted it with plastic etc. He also replaced all the bodged copper pipe work and relocated the stop cock from the neighbouring bedroom back under the bath. So its money spent that you don't see any benefit from, but I feel a lot happier knowing we have plastic welded joints on waste pipes and all new stop cocks and isolater valves on everything!

Re: What have you done today thread?
You're thinking of them French kilometers
My local freeway has always been a bit of the race track compared to the ones down the hill in LA. It's not unusual to find yourself in a pack of 10-20 cars where everyone is doing 85-90, but since Covid the pace has picked up quite a bit. CHP etc have released several statements asking for everyone to slow the fuck down as it's all getting a bit ridiculous (paraphrased that bit). Local guys nailed three people for 140mph a couple of weeks back.

Took the Gremlinette for her first tattoo.
Yeah....I know...bad Gremlin!!
In my defence, it's very small, in a discrete place and she's been going on for bloody ages.
And Mrs. Gremlin's actual words when we rang her to ask if it was okay was 'Well it's up to you' which means I can't possibly be in the shit when I get home, right?

Attempted assembly of a cheap metal shed to discover the predrilled holes for the roof are all in the wrong places.
Tomorrow I will be making a better roof for it out of corrugated plastic.

Re: What have you done today thread?
I thought that, so I took it apart and tried the roof supports everyday they could be assembled (only 3 different ways as it turns out) but no matter what the holes in the roof don't like up with the holes in the beams, it doesn't matter as tomorrow I will drill holes in the right places or build a new roof for it.weeksy wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 9:12 pmYou put it together incorrectly?Julian_Boolean wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 9:11 pm Attempted assembly of a cheap metal shed to discover the predrilled holes for the roof are all in the wrong places.

It's a solid shed and was cheap, another £50 to make a roof for it that I'll be happy with is okay with me.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Started to put together out new 3x3m wall fixed gazebo, only to find out the wall is less than 3m and it will either stop the back door or french doors from opening. Dunno wtf I was thinking when I ordered it...

Re: What have you done today thread?
I resurrected mine last weekend after not looking at it for a few years. Now Facebook has bought Oculus you must have a Facebook account to use the new Oculus Quest, once logged in I deleted it from my phone again.
I don't miss Facebook at all.

A second looks shows that you're correct, I've got my overlap wrong, holes are still in the wrong place thoughweeksy wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 9:12 pmYou put it together incorrectly?Julian_Boolean wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 9:11 pm Attempted assembly of a cheap metal shed to discover the predrilled holes for the roof are all in the wrong places.

Got an email and text message telling me that my passport application has been approved and that my passport is being printed.
I wonder how long it'll take to get here now . . .
