What are you going to do whilst in lockdown II?

[Andrew C!]

Golf this morning. Finished 2nd in a 3-ball, so lowest scoring player purchased coffees. Bandit status retained as highest handicapper in today’s game.

On to hoovering car boot out - I seem to have a fair amount of Worksop GC sand collected in side.

Then piano practice. Today I need to smooth out the octave notes in the right hand - make them more legato and joined, but relative to each other apparently - from my lesson notes.

hanging doors, hinge measurements out slightly, door frame modifications ahoy. This'll be a test fit for the doors, then I'll take em off and paint the frames copper to match the others

liking the sound of this.

another backwards walk, but facing forward. woofer confused but not an issue

pergola needs some screening, trying to find solutions, want to go more abstract, an answer will come, eventually they usually do.

good day at the races. so far made a profit in second race, 26/0 at £1.50 each way, love it, will open a good bottle to savour in expectation of no more winners today, who cares

I'm not - door frame modifications reversed, scratching of heads - doh the door frame is about 1cm out of square....

doors hung, not quite in the position I envisaged but are OK, need to do more work on the door frame

Hanging doors while holding onto half pints of alcohol rarely ends well. I remember plastering a ceiling and getting the instructions wrong about the word plastered in instructions.

i have hung doors where the lining is so bad at the head, up to 35mm out of level. client not interested in altering said lining,
after i explained the top panel of the door would look bizarre. so 1cm out is workable, can shoot to suit and plant a bit on if painting.

could be a splattered effect if consuming continues

with double doors the gap down the middle is uneven could pack out the hinges at the top a little to even out a little.

width is the problem? more difficult, add a tapered fillet to one jamb maybe

funnily just thinking about that.....

if the lining has architrave, you could remove them and move the frame to suit, refix, replace architraves etc

I am not that dedicated

cooked a quad of Spanish dishes

Chorizo and peppers in cider, Potato Bravas, Chicken in sherry with green olives and Migas with mushrooms

 

[hifinutt]

Discovered a erbaur multitool. Can't think how I missed getting one , what an incredibly useful bit of kit for cutting floorboards and many other things

 

[Tarzan]

Back to work Tuesday having completed what l was going to do in lockdown- nowt.

an experiment - packed one hinge, about 4mm - alignment perfect . Think I'll leave it there......

use to make up hinge packers/shims out of decent cardboard, not corrugated. splitting the difference can deceive the eye

no cheese pizza with toms, anchovies chilli flakes for lunch and a lovely bottle of Albarino one of my preferred whites

Years ago we had all our doors dipped/stripped and all hung to open on the opposite side. The doors/house is about 120 years old, so they are all a bit skewed.
The door being hung so they are on the opposite side of the frame made a massive positive difference.

I don’t know, but I seem to think that internal doors opening so that you cannot immediately see into the room is a Victorian fashion? Some daft thing about manners?
Somebody on pfm will know.

Wow, not heard that name for donkeys.

I used to like his reflective shop window gag in the titles of his show. I think I preferred Dick Emery back then though. And Benny Hill
