    I noticed that the cilinder is extending a little beyond the cover plate on the outside of the door. This makes it possible to grab the cilinder with a pair of pliers, and break the lock in two parts. Adding a thin extra plate between the cover and the door should prevent this from happening.

    I love my Billy Bookcases. My friends don't, as when i moved house a few years back, they wouldn't fit in the lift at my new building (only about 4 inches too big for the lift). My friends had to carry them (and a sofa) up the stairs to the 10th floor haha. (One bonus to being arthritic, it gets me out of any heavy lifting lol).

    I remember seeing the thumbnail for this video when it came out and that is ultimately what got me back here, but I am sorely regretting not watching this before setting four posts at the weekend (with postmix) for a climbing frame. I was really not impressed with the postmix, and seeing the comparison here if I was doing it again I would most definitely use concrete, the question I now have to face is what I do with the post that I have already done... Thanks for the video.

    FYI, it's not good for a compressor's health for it to be switched on via anything other than the actual dedicated on/off switch on the compressor itself. So you keeping it on, on the compressor and turning it on by a switch downstairs will cut down your machine's lifespan considerably.

    Bamboo is a nasty, invasive species, spread by silly people planting their little " Lucky Bamboo" plants that they bought from Poundland. Locally it's spreading like wildfire and roots are growing outwards and upwards and new shoots are bursting up through public footpaths on the other side of fencing, wrecking them. Our local council dug up the brojen tarmac and redid it, but it's burst through again 4 months on.

    I've done aa bit of this around home over the years. Hydrated Lime works too, and is a bit "greener" 10% is a little high yu can go to 5% pretty comfortably. For garden walls etc if you have surplus soil you can add 2,parts shredded paper by volume and make a lightweight yet incredibly strong fibrous material. *see "Papercrete" This can,save you money on sleepers etc and won't rot. You ca even make your own pavers if your mix has about 10% sand.

    I have a little 6inch batt powered chainsaw. It's great for 90% of what my wife/kids are asked to do. Maybe 75% of what I need a saw for. Big difference is my unit is a dedicated saw and spins much nicer and can use regular chains from ace hardware. $15 and it's a smoking deal.

  • @marksummerson3966

    Wet and Forget is by far the best patio cleaner, but don't expect it to work overnight, over a week or over a month. It works over months. The green algae is dealt with over the first week. The Black lichen takes longer much longer, the progress can't be seen day to day but over a couple of months and there it is the black lichen starts to fade. Obviously before you start clean off all the loose dirt with water and a broom. Using a pressure washer pits your paving stones and creates more crevices where black lichen grows. So apply "wet & Forget" in March and September and your patios and paths will remain algae and lichen free.

    I use that chainsaw for a few months when camping to cut fallen branches and make a fire. I use it for it's size. It's true that looks dangerous, but i don't know anything smaller than this chainsaw. It always needs adjustments of the chain, i don't know if that is normal. There is one that you can attach to a grinder, that is definitely crazy 😂

  • @SteveHuntingdon

    In my experience using a pressure washer on sandstone or concrete slabs is relatively fast and looks great for a while. Then as you do it year after year you provide a perfect environment of microscopic caves and tunnels for lichen to thrive. Eventually slabs end up covered in black, white or both, spots that no jet washer on earth will shift.

    The best thing about using concrete mixed in a barrow, is that you can pour it right in, and add big rocks, ( concrete savers!) And save even more! The poor strength of the post mix is ridiculous, and seems like garbage! For a temporary fence, maybe, but the cost isnt worth it!
