Not entirely relevant but could help somebody with their renovation project? Saw this on Twitter yesterday entitled "Redneck fuckery". OK, I did multiple safety courses, and I'm sure Worksafe wouldn't approve, but...

There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
and clearly the point of this thread is to take the piss out of myself.
I've made complete fences and ensuites and shit like that which are still look good many years later. But what was to be just a quick throw together caught me on the wrong end of the skill spectrum. Plus I'm doing this with a couple of healing broken ribs so waving around skillsaws (wish I had a saw bench would have made things considerably square, heck I couldn't even find my square) and belt sanders quite tiresome.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Hope she tries. She'll learn a valuable lesson about the superiority of the Robinson square drive system.
Actually there's an interesting history on the topic if you Google it.
Tell you what. Pro Tip (hoho) having two battery drivers so you don't have to change from pilot drillbit to screw bit makes life considerably more pleasant.

After zooming in on the image, I now see that all the screw heads do have square section recesses.
After thinking about it further, she'd probably just target the two screws holding the right hand part of the lock. Less screws to undo.
Hope it works as planned. If not, Loctite is your friend.
That is a pro Pro tip.
I'm a tight arse with tartan blood so do a lot of restoration, up cycling, saving money, whatcha call it. I've yet to pull something to bits which has matching screws, 2 drills - 2 drive bits. Sometimes 3 drills.
I'm tidying up some cheap French doors today, 2 drills to unscrew the brassware. And I'm finding out why they were so cheap, one of the windows is perspex.. No putty in it either. Did my first putty job yeterday... Looks really easy on youtube. My attempt looks like something the dog leaves on the lawn.

40 years of renovations and projects on this house have got me a collection of hand and power tools, which, if all purchased at the same time, probably would have paid a professional to do the renovations. And it might have been completed 39 years ago
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

all that needs is something in the front hoop of the wheelbarrow to stop it going back. It can't come forward cos the handles are long and splayed.
I bought a router this week and taught myself to use it over the weekend. Verdict: harder than it looks but perseverance is the key. I actually read the instructions (fail) and watched Youtube vids.
I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave

Sooo true.
A mate is having a tidy out and offered me some interesting gear. A chainsaw attachment for a Skill saw....
An underwater, hydraulic, kangal concrete smasher. I guess for repairing concrete pools without draining them.
And a concrete cutter which sucks itself to a wall for making windows or doors which the architect forgot.
Oh, and a bag which freezes water pipes so they can be repaired with the water still on. Clever.

Great. Showed the wife now she's singing it. Too young to even know who sang it.
Come to it, I must be too. I'll have to Google it.
