on the plus side, you'll probably have fewer ghosts with a more conventional house Sucks it fell through though, one of the first things I was told was to not get too attached to a property unless it's highly likely you'll get it...easier said than done. I'm sure you'll love wherever you end up!

Pretty much finished the hall (just waiting on a clock for the brick wall). We’ve started work on the dining room now, much like the office and hall we had to remove old painted over wallpaper, fill any holes (main walls were great but the arch needed a little bit of work), sand flat and lift the carpet. we’re going to start painting tonight and then see about getting some laminate

At first I wasn't really that confident in the strength but after seeing the work you've put in and the strength tests I'm more confident now and I'd love to do a collab!

seriously impressed Adam! Not sure your thoughts but I'm sure if you boshed together some words and these pictures into an article for Pinkbike they'd snap it up...it's a great achievement and lots of interesting aspects I'm sure plenty of people would love to see.

good to hear Yeah 2.2 front and rear...not sure I'd want to go any bigger, they inflate quite large on my 38mm rims

thank you :) I must say that Holy Rollers weren't the easiest for me to inflate but I did manage it with a tubeless air blast pump. The Ikons should be a little easier but I still had to wiggle my front wheel around and physically pull one of the beads towards the rim edge for it to inflate with my compressor...just be patient, manipulate the tyre if needed and you should be ok

I think that's the super simplified version of it yeah, I had jane explain it to me and I've forgotten the details but that sounds close enough

I didn't do anything quite that involved, I just added a few more layers of gorilla tape over the valve hole to stop the valve from being pushed through

this is interesting... It's coming from perhaps one of the most qualified scientists regarding virology and vaccines (just check out his qualifications and job titles he's had). He's suggesting that the vaccines could be a good idea if we WEREN'T in a pandemic and actually intervening like this could be disastrous and prolong the pandemic or even make it worse. This is the first time IN HISTORY that humans have taken the approach we're taking regarding world-wide vaccine intervention in a pandemic. Here's his interview https://www.voiceforscienceandsolidarity.org/videos-and-interviews/geert-vanden-bossche-interview-at-the-highwire and if you fancy a read here's his open letter to the WHO https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/616004c52e87ed08692f5692/6180d0742de00f1d9cd1f0a6_who-open-letter.pdf "I am all but an antivaxxer. As a scientist I do not usually appeal to any platform of this kind to make a stand on vaccine-related topics. As a dedicated virologist and vaccine expert I only make an exception when health authorities allow vaccines to be administered in ways that threaten public health, most certainly when scientific evidence is being ignored. The present extremely critical situation forces me to spread this emergency call. As the unprecedented extent of human intervention in the Covid-19- pandemic is now at risk of resulting in a global catastrophe without equal, this call cannot sound loudly and strongly enough." Edit: To try and give a balanced post, here's a link to a page who thinks this is all wrong. I'm not saying who is right or who is wrong but I know one is more qualified than the other...not that means everything. https://www.deplatformdisease.com/blog/addressing-geert-vanden-bossches-claims

good to hear!

rimpact could make you one, I had them make me a 26" version of their plus size rim...fitted my carthy rim perfectly.

"We note that when patients die 60 days after a positive covid test, they are added to the covid death figures but if someone were to die 60 minutes after a covid vaccine, then it is just a coincidence." I hadn't even considered that

Apparently each strain is named after the Greek alphabet, I missed a few of them so it wasn’t exactly obvious but it seems we’re up to the 15th named strain

I like the disc mount idea...using the caliper itself as a brace?

haha took me a second

also an update, I rang the carpet place and explained how we weren't happy wit hthe join. They agreed there shouldn't have been one and are replacing the carpet. So that's two of my angry items sorted.

It was a place called Sculpt. I have an update though…turns out I’m just a colossal muppet and couldn’t work out that MY OWN LOGO was upside down! I’m so embarrassed

Related to the angry thread I now have a carpet fitted (just vacuumed so looks a little funky). They said there’d be no join in the hall but they did put one in which I’m annoyed by

Too late, I just let them finish. The joint is subtle but you can tell it’s there which is going to drive me mad. I’ll certainly be telling the company that they need to be more accurate with measuring and perhaps a small refund would nice.

I've got 52 items selling on ebay now and I don't envy having to deal with that crap when it inevitably comes. I'm angry because I've ordered three things recently only for them to turn up damaged or just made wrong. First was a radiator cover that was such bad quality they don't even want it back, they just refunded me and told me to dispose of it. Second was a shoe storage hall bench, arrived fully built (wasn't that big) and badly damaged, awaiting a reply. Third was a custom neon sign of my personal logo for my office, took a couple of weeks to arrive but it came today...it's backwards! It's also just wrong with it not actually being the same as my logo even when the right way round. As I typed this I'm getting a carpet fitted, we have a long hall and specifically didn't want a join. The supplier came and measured and said they have one that's just big enough to do this but we had to get their biggest roll. The fitters have just this moment told me it won't fit and there will need to be a join...I'm actually raging as we could've probably saved money with a smaller one. Edit: Totally forgot that someone scammed me for £35 on a pair of BMX tyres on FB market, sent payment via bank transfer (figured a fan of the channel wouldn't scam me) and the tyres never arrived and then he stopped replying to my messages (while posting every day on his personal FB page) so that's not something I can fight. This weeks been shit

Appreciated, I certainly hadn’t considered that could be an issue

I assumed you’d still be able to operate them from the wall switch as a normal light in that case no?

Carpets are all pulled up ready for the fitters to fit new ones.

I'm currently into the 7th month of still trying to get the paperwork done so that would be awesome if you can get it done that quick!
