Bangernomics Escape to the Shat-ohh, brownmotion and other suppositories now with added time wasting/house ruining.

I’m using a track saw but per my usual MO the track is a bit short. Need another set when I go to screwfix again in september.

It isn’t so bad just a pfaff moving it about twice for one cut.

Nearly there just another two skirt board cuts then onto the uprights. Will be decorated this weekend with a good wind. Then an “easy” week for the floor and trimming up the cabinet.

[bangernomics]

May actually do some car based stuff this year other than basic service and CT not that I am complaining.

[bangernomics]

More slicing and gluing later.




On schedule for paint to start tomorrow.

[bangernomics]

She’s started the daubing stage.

Shite shelf made from some leftover t&g chipboard flooring.




Need to figure out a home steaming method for the trim. To get round this corner, a pan and a lid should do it?

[bangernomics]

Well that was much easier than expected.

[bangernomics]

Getting there now.



Quality cupboard is back together.



Need to figure out what to do with the beam, cream paint and wax is the plan. Personally I would just wallop it white and move on.



Paper and then flooring to finish.

[bangernomics]

Mrs B started papering today and then I got roped in. She did a good job all the same even with my help.

Almost there



Flooring starts tomorrow. After this I am going cyclemotor shopping

Funny enough it is excellent still after a few years. 3 sets of filters that we wash after each use and replace every couple of years seems to work well. It is about 5/6 years old now although yes I think they suck all the shite through the motor given half a chance so miracle.

The bolloxed french supermarket own brand thing is totally asthmatic after living on the end of a chopsaw though.

[bangernomics]

Had CBA after a tough work week so got not far with the floor. Tomorrow is another day.





I need some kneepads.

[bangernomics]

Floor in. I’ll make some skirts and trim up tomorrow. Just a piece of wood for the curtain rail, two sockets to replace and I am out of there ready for Mrs B to fill it full of things.

Fast work, well done.

Went to the mower racing today. Spotted a few bits of quality.

Is it better for grass to be cut quickly?

Dullest failure ever? Washer pump not producing much more than a piddly dribble. Makes the same noise though?

Pulled it apart and it has one motor and some witchcraft that feeds both outlets? Maybe theres a pair of earths and the gubbins moves left or right?

I pulled it apart in the most awkward way as these things are not designed to be fixed and it has a plunger with two bits of rubber one on each end which if it moves would shut off the outlets. Maybe a magnet polarised by the earths?

Anyway it didn’t work so temu to the rescue and 3 or so days later…. New one landed this morning so will throw it on and dissect the old one further.

Pics of not so interesting stuff to follow.

The power and earth are reversed depending on which function is selected on the switch. When the motor rotates one way water is sprayed over the front screen, when it turns the other way, over the rear.

Washy wipey worky.

[bangernomics]

Pumpy stopped pumping again. Luckily it has bounced down the last couple of days so need to order a better one rather than the chinesium one that landed last.
