A nail gun
Whoooaaaarrr nice. Is it as quick as a gas gun in use?
I have no idea — I’ve never used a nail gun before. It’s a 2nd fix, so does 32-63mm only, which is fine for my needs. It will mainly be used for putting backs on cabinets and is sooooo much faster than doing it by hand.
Yesterday I was putting 18mm reinforcing batons onto the base of a cabinet, ready to hold some oak legs. Before I would have had to joint these on and it would have taken a couple of hours. This time it took less than ten minutes. A bit of glue, a couple of clamps. Bang bang bang. Job done.
I bought a natty shirt
Nice. Is it... flesh coloured?
Are you wearing it under that pink one?
Victim skin shirt.

I doubt I'll be using most of the features of this watch, but it'll replace my Amazfit Bip.
Is it for people with short arms?

I'd probably want to pack my old service revolver if I was going out in a shirt of that colour.

Partly cloudy, indoors.
It's the way he's getting some extra purchase by grabbing the towel covered radiator.
A classic move.
Plus, you know, he's got previous.

Brilliant! Do you mind if I ask dimensions, how much and who from? A man is coming tomorrow for a chat about getting one here
That's the fanciest shed I ever did see.

Of course. It’s 3m x 1.8m and cost £3900 for everything including the electrics which is a good price, and best bit was only 4 weeks lead time. It was a friend’s husband who does them but he’s in the West Midlands so may not want to be going as far as you.

Wow, that’s absolutely brilliant. It looks super smart. Is there a way to keep it warm in the winter months?

That's super, thanks. A 3m*4m is being considered here.

As the back garden isn't big enough, end of the drive. Smash down the outbuilding, then rebuild there with a view to incorporating the downstairs toilet somehow.

An oil filled radiator will heat that up in no time at all. It’s insulated and double glazed so I’ll just use a timer to turn it on half an hour before I start work.

There’s some interesting looking prefab kits on eBay if you don’t mind doing work to assemble yourself.
I was tempted but decided to be lazy.
Heh ,the gulf between my "That'll do" and my wife's "job done" is quite the wide one, so it'll be someone else doing it. And fixing the mud room issues. And maybe joining them together.

How wonderful. It sounds just perfect. How are you decorating?

Not sure yet. The outside is being painted grey which should make it look fairly modern, and I’ve got an industrial looking desk and shelf unit to go in there. I’m undecided on carpet or laminate floor plus rug, and then whether to do all coloured walls or just one as a feature to keep it lighter. Got next week off work to get that done.
If we get ours done then a trellis to have hops growup, or a basket with fuscias to grow down is my idea.

I’d go for laminate plus rug - you can get some really nice looking laminate flooring and it will be more hard wearing and easier to clean if you have to walk on wet ground to get there. Plus easier to redecorate if you fancy a change since you can just change the rug. Love the sound of the desk. I saw a home office design online that was lovely with a really deep dark green wall then lighter walls. Something like that or a deep blue with loads of plants like palms, snake plants, rubber plants etc would be brilliant.
That looks great, DrZ!
That looks great, I can't wait to see the finished article.

You can get really good vinyl flooring nowadays, I recommened that! Nice and quick to lay, as well.
I was going to suggest that, then I didn't.
We had a thick lino that looks like a plain stone colour in our outdoor utility room / Guinea pig suite.

It scratches easily but has a very warm sound.

I was also going to suggest this, but for some reason also didn’t it wouldn’t suit your office at all, but I saw a really pretty Moroccan tile one recently, but there are loads of quite nice designs out there, and it’s not like the old fashioned linos.
Such cute fabrics, GJ; you have such a great eye for cute prints and colours.

I bought myself a book of the most beautiful building in the world, as I haven’t visited for a while and just miss it. I’d recommend it to anyone, and it’s full of inspiration for any design/art bods.
The pterosaur made me think of @Zardoz especially.

Challenge accepted!
I never realised the museum had such beautiful architecture.
Oh, honestly, you could absolutely empty the NHM and still spend a full and exciting time just looking at the walls, the columns, the ceilings, windows, staircases. Every inch is a masterpiece. The tea rooms (not the newish, large, open plan one but the older ones) were designed by William Morris. I haven’t managed to sit down and read the book yet but I didn’t see any of the pictures of that from my quick flick through (maybe because it counts as the furnishings rather than architecture, though). Did you spit the trilobite in one of the carved friezes? I’d have put trilobites everywhere.
