  1. The problem is you only have the edges to tie the drywall screws to (half a truss thickness is too close to the edge) - and the sheets bend over time when they have insufficient support - so orient the sheet where you can screw to the most places possible, and stay away from the edges of the sheet ito screwing - they just break out, and your ocd will freak out... Also - please find a good dust mask to use - gypsum dust is a nightmare for lungs... a cartridge based mask, or a pressure fed air mask. You could consider using fibre cement boards in a garage (better fire rating) - and make sure you use the fireproof ones if you use ordinary gypsum boards.
  2. So if I use my 1" drive torque wrench I should be good at about 1400Nm?
  3. OK - not a problem I have with mine not that I use them a lot, so removing spiderwebs is more of a problem than moering them.
  4. Won't you run the sheet across the roof trusses? This makes it easier to pin to them. I you can level out the trusses with shims first then you won't have much rhinolite work to do... provide you look carefully at the sheets before you install them - they have indents for tape if you look carefully.
  5. How do you know?
  6. I hope the crosswind blows you off the mountain today.... ok - just kidding - FOMO talking...
  7. Ask him where he is - then you will really be sick....
  8. I will scratch out a few for you - see what I can find..
  9. Best you enter the hillhunter...
  10. I have pleanty of oak scraps from my tree trimming - been piled up for a year or two (outside and randomly) what size is your minimum? most pieces are short - 20 - 30 cm, but also 20 - 30 cm in diameter.
  11. That old chain is well f...ed.... past it's use by date.... Lube your chain EVERY day - it will last a lot longer...
  12. Bet they came in a box like this... which has a few toys in....
  13. Definitely a beech handle - absorbs shock nicely - I would make the head out of beech too - mostly because I have a beech mallet that's about 60 years old and still going strong.
  14. All that data and not a chart of climbs.... They could easily to that - total climb by day, include distance at inclines by % - this could also show average speeds and descent in the same graphic.... then we would have a decent picture...
  15. I crossed the Jukskei - several times today in fact - wandering around Monagan farm and some surrounding farms
  16. my wishlist said they had x01 cassettes this morning
  17. Bike24.com - Eagle mostly in stock too - just waiting for gripshifters...
  18. There are a couple of facebook groups
  19. My 10day old receiver was also a victim.... Yamaha did come to the party though - very kindly, and mostly because it lasted a couple of days after the event - fortunatly not a Krell, and fortunately most of my speakers survived - sub died...
  20. True - a fry up... literally.... was like a war zone - lost about 30 LED bulbs too - and they go off with a bang.... as do DVD players, radios, washing machines, receivers, computers, alarms etc - the list is long... most of the essentials have been replaced. Fortunately I have spare machines.... and a lever I have not mastered yet.... so I have not been stressing about it - kind of helps to have a 2grp at work too...
  21. BIG voltage spike - brain fried for sure, solonoids and other things probably too... Jhb metro hooked up a generator and connected it wrong to our local distribution point and fried half the appliances in the neighbourhood - lets just say the GS is bottom of the list of things to be fixed/replaced still
  22. GS3 time..... you know you want one...... mine is still hospitalised....
  23. Coffee with friends - I don't do lessons.... Especially not golf lessons normally.. don't want hackers to beat me...
  24. Lob those beans away - they make good fertiliser.... cheap fertiliser too... they are OLD and STALE - and they taste **** - and taste worse as they get older. Come spend an hour with me - and we can talk it through - and you can play on my Linea - with free coffee and milk It's unlikely to be a major defect in your technique - just stick to the basics and be patient, and focus on 1 thing at a time - you can't adjust 5 variables at the same time and not confuse yourself - setting up a new machine is tricky.
