OK chaps so now that the floor is done onto the next 'project', we have a dining room table that has a 'slatted' top that according to my wife is old fashioned .... It is 1*2m ... Would like to get a solid top for it of some kind, not to fussed what kind of wood. Will stain it to match the existing table of it's just pine or something. I guess it should be reasonably 'thick' so that it will feel solid? Any suggestions where to have something like that made preferably Jobeg south/East Rand area? Happy to collect and 'fit' it myself @Stretched@Birth - can you maybe help ... Please boss! Sent from my LG-D958 using Tapatalk

I would have thought frantically scrambling around to find a new partner would be the last of one's worries when you're in the process of getting divorced but what do I know ... Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using Tapatalk

Ok all done, probably not perfect but most important SWAMBO thinks it looks 'fantastic' ... Many brownie points have been earned! But bliksem that's a lot of hard work, would I do it again? Not on your life! Sent from my LG-D958 using Tapatalk

First coat is on, I'd rather go out and ride a bike for 200 miles [emoji57] There is a certain satisfaction as it gets closer to the end though [emoji41] Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using Tapatalk

I did get satin [emoji41] Sent from my LG-D958 using Tapatalk

Thanks Grebel, Porqui and Eddy for your suggestions. Had a discussion with Stretched@birth as well yesterday and decided to go with the polyurethane gloss. Today is the big day, just finish off the edges and then start, will have to move the bike stuff I need for the next few days out of that room into a spare room though. Don't want to need to walk through there to soon and mess it up Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using Tapatalk

So many knowledgable chaps in here, some advice please! My wife got a bee in her bonnet that we must 'sort out' the floor in our 2nd lounge. So after the umpteenth sarcastic comment I stripped my moer and sommer went and hired a floor sander this morning and did it (well started [emoji16]) As you can see it's a parquet floor, I never really gave much thought to what I will 'treat' it with [emoji848] I will still finish the edges and some of the bits with my small sander and sandpaper tomorrow morning. There is a portion that is a walkway to another room but the rest is used very seldom. Any suggestions what would be the best product to use, how long it takes to dry (important as my bike room is on the other side [emoji41])? TIA Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using Tapatalk

Rummaging through some family photos today I find this coolest of cool photos! Nothing written on it so no idea when, where or who is in it ... Sadly both my parents have passed on so can't ask them, will have coffee with my uncle next week and see if he recognises anyone ... Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using Tapatalk

Fortunately it's only road racing that I'm taking a break from, I still ride a bike six days a week and do the occasional MTB race as I've always done. Perhaps some time I'll go back, in fact I don't I'll miss 94.7 for some reason .... Sent from my LG-D958 using Tapatalk

No, I doubt I'll do many more road races ... This after nearly 28 years of cycling Sent from my LG-D958 using Tapatalk

I meant mostly around the danger that other riders present ..... Sent from my LG-D958 using Tapatalk

And someone asked a while ago why I had decided no more Fast One road races for me #SMK Sent from my LG-D958 using Tapatalk

Jeez dude those are almost compression pantihose [emoji50] Sent from my LG-D958 using Tapatalk

Do it you won't be sorry! Love that bike Sent from my LG-D958 using Tapatalk

Despite my reservations about how they look they are seriously comfortable on and off road ... Will keep them on for sure! Great to be able to use the 'drops' in some singletrack ... And it's still easy to get to the brakes! Sent from my LG-D958 using Tapatalk
