Nice people thread part 7 - a thread in its prime

This is pretty normal and would be why you have those sizes (making 2 rolls of 300mm)

Think the best tool for the job was a normal (long) wood saw.

The standard rolls make THREE rolls of two hundred and TWO rolls of 400 along existing perforations.

We are going to try with a wood saw, but I think it will be too fibrous to cut cleanly enough even while still in the roll.

ATM we are still clearing out the straw. Our room (where the loft hatch is) is no longer a nice cat haven, but rather a mess of dust and straw. The cats still think its great though, and are running up and down the ladder and loft with glee. The room has a tarp spread in in and we are throwing down sections of bales of straw mainly onto the tarp, but with significant collateral spread around the room.

Pretty sure I will be using disinfectant on all my earrings :eek: and washing out of our clothes.

I was led to believe that a side wall repair was illegal ... and the reason for this might be that with the side wall compromised the tyre might not have the strength to support the car.

The position of a screw/nail can affect the possibility of an effective repair.

And of course a damaged tyre wall can render a tyre unfit.

Neither applied in this case. I spent many months working with 30+ time served mechanics. They showed me exactly what to look for with my own car when I had a problem.

...it doesn't stop tyre retailers trying to sell you a new tyre though. This tyre is now fine

Saw it with the plastic wrapping on, if its the same type of stuff I have. A woodsaw is fine.

It should go without saying to wear a decent pair of goggles, gloves and a face mask. A 28 day A1P2 mask from the likes of Screwfix is great; perhaps overkill in this case.

I also like the paper all in one suits with elasticated cuffs.

The downside is you can't walk to the papershop without raising a general alarm!

We'll try.

He has a sort of gas mask thing, always wears googles for stuff like this. He's wearing normal DIY clothes though.

Edit, I want him to check more joist distances before we try though, because otherwise we will surely find that they are all different distances.

Measure twice and cut once.

It's looking more and more annoying. Several at not straight distances apart.


It's beautiful up there though. Probably nicest part of the house. Really beautiful.

Nope, defintely each one having to be cut my hand now.

So, I am going to have to disappear to do afternoons for the animals in a minute and we are .......(fanfare). A third of the way through the first roll.

It's going to be a very late night, lol.

It is squidgy isn't it so I would have thought tolerance even a couple of inches off could just be overcome by squishing it in?

I prefer measure once (first time), cut, too big, cut again, too small, trip to shop for new piece, cut carefully, decide it will do....

Yes, it's squidgey, but the air is what traps the heat, so over squidgey and you have lost the warmest part of the beggars.

My job is passing the rolls up. And tbh, it's not very taxing a job (hence time to sit here with macputer chatting and taking pictures of the cats in curly dogs new bed etc etc. no point in starting cleaning up while first is still being trackeddown either.

I did just hand another roll up though.

Is he working away, looking fit and building up a little sheen of sweat?! Perhaps you will need another little break from the macputer in a minute
