Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
We are currently at the peak of the latest 11 year solar cycle so events like last nights which is still going on are not uncommon. The media make a song and dance and roll out the superlatives because the majority of folk carry around in their pockets the means to photograph the phenomena. Some fab...

Re: Miscellaneous DIY Projects (or bits of jobs)
Thanks Stanley. Final hurdle turned into a marathon rather than a ten minute job. I got a replacement gate latch from Screwfix today, last one in stock. Same model as what came off, however, offering it up I saw a problem. The pin was not bent to the same degree as the original so consequently when ...

Also the Waspi women. Ordered to pay by the courts and still arguing the toss and the amounts folk are entitled to. That one is easy, all of what they robbed and have spent.

Finished the repainting of the gate and have re hung it. Treated it to all new screws and will give it another treat of a new latch.

Re: Miscellaneous DIY Projects (or bits of jobs)
Kev has sorted me out Stanley, not took long, my marking up and Kevs slicing and its bob on for a fit apart from about an 1/8th of an inch on the top rail, I can cut that with my tenon saw. Hung it on two screws to check the fit as it has to come off again for the other bits of timber for the latch ...

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
The gate posts are dry. Gate is in waiting for cutting down to the proper size. Sally has been stone painting to outside back yard wall but that has dried off also. I have the first coat of gloss on the gas cabinet, that says 16 hours between coats!

Re: Miscellaneous DIY Projects (or bits of jobs)
Best laid plans an all that! Running off the guide line sawing straight down!
By power saw, do you mean a circular saw Stanley? If so that would be good I could run that on the front face from the bottom to the top and use the outer edge with the guide.

Re: POLITICS CORNER
Who would be a better leader for labour - in all honesty all the good ones are dead, maybe Andy Burnham if he were in parliament ? I concur there, Andy Burnham has buckets more passion, and can convey it much better than Starmer. He has not ruled it out for the future but not while he is in post as...

Re: Miscellaneous DIY Projects (or bits of jobs)
Thanks Stanley, I'll give it a go while its hung, should be easier straight down rather than on the top of the bins as they are a tad high, Next time the gate comes off I want to paint it and the posts at each side.

My Grandma and Granddad lived there at no 15 and my Aunt Margaret and Uncle Norman at no 17. Number 17 (nearest property) especially had a maze of cubby holes inside, probably remnants of previous builds.

Nice afternoon so I made a start on my back yard gate repair. Colin gave me two suitable lengths of T&G with slightly different offsets on the tongues and grooves. Fortuitous as it turned out as when I took the outer panel off I found the second one was also water damaged so I got that out as we...
