I use mine everyday regardless of how much is in there, worse case every 2 days. No rinse, straight in. I cook every night, I have tea and coffee stuff, and lunch stuff if ive been working from home.

My last house I worked out the dishwasher used 7 litres of water which is less than running the tap ...

I decided to remove the living room and dining room radiators two weeks, just before the temperature dropped. So it'll go on when I get round to replumbing that. So another planning success

Nah, if anything im getting slower with age

How's you?

I have the portable units and a ceiling fan in my bedroom (and one in the living room shortly once decorated). The fan works great, and once it started getting hotter the air-cons came out. I have the exhaust out of the window through a piece of ply that is sealed to the window frame. Works well ...

£24k (would be my guess).

Interestingly, regarding AI, the NCTJ says that journalists in jobs using AI get paid more than those that don't...typical figures £38k vs £34k. (No info on experience etc to get those figures or whether they're averages).


AI is coming, might as well embrace it. I've ...

Having had van conversions and converted vans I like them, they have their positive points. We've gone motor home now, A class so comfy as and with a massive boot area. Its definitely a step up from a conversion in many ways. We find we can live in ours whereas with the van conversions we cooked and ...

I'm back, up your game.

And we can gang up on McS!

All good mate, thanks. You've been mentioned in dispatches a few times, so I think they'lll be quite a few people pleased to see you stop by. :thumbup:


I'm glad i did, been too long. And hopefully I'll be around more often and catch up with people 👍🏾

Just popped in to see what was happening and this is the first post that drew my attention. Glad you're on the mend mate!


:o WTF you been! Hope you're well! :thumbup:


Its been an "interesting" 2 years! Nothing as dramatic as McS but lots of change including moving house. Its all a bit ...

Wish I could help with some practical insight butI have no experience with larger CNC systems. I have become quite adept with FDM/3d printing and the typical stumbling block when troubleshooting/setting up is operating system and software compatibility issues. I would probably start from the ...

Been on my wish list for a while and am starting to seriously look - anyone got any advice or tips?

I'm looking for a bed size of 1000x800, that should give the scope to do the projects I want, also build my own kitchen (I know I could do that with standard hand tools but that's awfully time ...

Ryobi stuff is well discounted.

Multi tool. - regular price £130, other places £90 to £110, price is £87
Angle grinder - same as above

Interesting thread. I've been pondering what to do. I have a B£Q trade card which means unlimited cuts on sheet material but hardwood ply round the corner is £9 cheaper than the store 10 miles away. And a table saw which I struggle to put sheet through on my own.

So on that basis I went looking and ...

That looks quite a smart 'jalopy'!

It'll do! SWMBO wanted something we could fit into to, that's it.

Long term plan is a proper overlander but that needs to be sorted.

A mate of mine has a diesel heater in his shed, works a treat. He routed the exhaust through a couple of old radiators and then out, and those warm up really nicely as well - might as well use that exhaust heat!

They're also quite lenient on what they will burn, he's diluted old engine oil with ...

Been a while since I did this. Picked up this jalopy yesterday as a current camping option, that'll do till I have a proper overlander sorted. So rest of the weekend is moving stuff from the old van to this one

Great to hear from you GS.

Not me mate. I still tell the story about you telling someone "tell them the pony sent you, you'll get a discount", and they did. Legend.
