This Weekend?

Painting fresh plaster. 3 storeys of hard labour

Evenings I've been out of my mancave for a week so de-dusting the beast and getting thrashed on Rocket League seems to be me all planned out.

This weekend, I am the TtaskyTaxi.
Wife is going out drinking with my work buddy, so I get the pleasure of ferrying two half-cut harpies around... fortunately it's my car, so at least there will be no music played that damages my calm.

Just better hope that no one spews...

Had that once, she knew how much I loved my car and spewed into her handbag.

If they do, they'll be buying me a new one... This is L&K trim with lots of black leather!

Sounds like a keeper, I still have residue in the stitching of my back seats

Haha... not really.

A valet not get it out? Or too ashamed to take it to one? lol.

Too cheap. I don't have to sit in the back

We're off to Cirencester for our gradndaughters 3rd birthday, I bought her a tiny trowel and a "dig it up and build the model" T-Rex. her mom n dad are both well into history, Jim is Collections Officer at Cirencester Museum (well worth a visit) & Catherine works for National Trust in a similar role.

Isabel (the birthday girl) was crying last week cuz it was too late for her to watch an episode of Time Team ..... Hence the trowel

Sounds familiar. Got a large garage conversion and kitchen extension to paint bare plaster in. Need to get it done so I can get my PC out again before child number 2 arrives in April. I might get a week or two gaming if I'm lucky!

I just bought 3 900mm x 1800mm x 9.5mm sheets of plasterboard.

Bet you can't guess what I'm doing this weekend...

[g8ina]

Getting plastered ?

Well I had an OK weekend.

Patriots won so there goes my free bet, Falcons won I would've been £80 up lol.

Car decides to act up on Sat night, turns out the front driver side brake decides to stay on partial lock as I got to my destination which was approx. 15-20 miles from my house. The brake disc is glowing red hot, I think I could've cooked a breakfast on the disc. I had no choice but to drive home, cars been left since and going to the garage tomorrow.

Heres hoping it doesn't rape my wallet...

Depends on the car but sticky calipers aren't expensive to fix or even replace. You'll be in for some moderate pain if you have warped the disc - and really you should replace those in pairs. Don't forget some new pads as well.

If they tell you they've replaced anything, ask to see the part they took off - I've had a garage try charging me for a new caliper when all they did was loosen/lubricate the existing one.

This weekend I'm sanding intricate 1900s oak banisters and spindles (2 staircases worth) that someone thought thick bright-green lead paint would be a nice addition 80 years ago. And painting more plaster.

Weekend turned out good...
Taxi duty was the anticipated irritation, with drunken women laring about and forcing their Country music on me on the journey at 0230.. next day was replacing the aux belt and curing the squealing noise on full lock, along with a lovely wander around a local woodland with my squad of combat doggies!!

This weekend I'll be tinkering - I've got a 3d printer kit on the way so that's going to take some building and calibrating...
