@@mehDustMaker OK - I won’t ask you how you know (at least not in public).

Thank you for watching, mate. I'm glad you like them. The nail gun has a spring it - to keep it in the recoiled position. It's operated by me pushing it forward, like a swift punch. I bought mine on Ebay, and the nails are readily available there too. It's a very handy tool - I do recommend. One tip I have is to lightly oil it every 6-10 shots and disassemble to clean occasionally.

@@big-irish-git thanks Brian I will have a look into it.

Hard work indeed - for an auld fella. The ship wasn't as big as a cruise ship, but wouldn't be dwarfed in that company. Thank you for watching another 'exciting' instalment.

I never even thought to try the reciprocating saw on concrete. I can't imagine it would though. I just used a metal-cutting blade on the rebar.

I'm sure Hayley will be a sports superstar and Zoe will be an entertainer - possibly even "UA-cam Influencer" ;-) Yes, indeed, plenty of work ahead.

And that was just some of the highlights from about two hours of footage!

Absolutely - something artistic in that girl's future 🥰

Hi Sharon. I did think off using the gate for plant growing - and might still. I could indeed dig the hole the way you suggest - but, two reasons I'm doing it my way (aside from because it's my way🙃) - one os because, as per usual, I get a grand idea and then make up the details on the fly - and two, because I think doing it in stages makes the planning the dirt disposal easier to plan. Also, I'd probably get bored and maybe overwhelmed if I did it in full-sized bites, if that makes sense. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment.

I proposed a digging party instead of going to the beach this morning - but, for some reason, that didn't meet with the level of enthusiasm I expected.

Many happy returns Sharon

OK - I'll try "Mark said...' and see how that does down. Personally, though, I thought I'd just 'man up' and do it my way 🙂 See you in the new year, if I survive 😁

LOL

Absolutely she exploits my height - even when injured! Don't mention Colin Furze - we might get in trouble. I'm no Colin Furze, though. Colin Furze is a dead-set legend. Colin Furze leaves me for dead. I can only dream of being as good or as brave as Colin Fuze. In fact I do dream about Colin Furze - because Colin Furze is my hero. But, like I said - don't use Colin Furze's name in vain - we might get in trouble for exploiting a link to Colin Furze. 🤔

I've been mulling this for a long time, so I have a plan - and a contingency - for water. What I didn't plan on was the sports injury I suffered mere hours after visiting you on Friday 🤔

That was the plan - until I suffered a sports injury on the weekend (details in Sunday's newsletter) ;-)

Thank you for your attention and interest, Mark. Would you like a guided tour on Tuesday (I'll cook brekkie)?

@@big-irish-git absolutely!

Thanks Mr Dust Maker and Boss ;-) The client is fully moved in now, with no complaints - which usually means she likes it. Thanks for all your input and feedback during this very long build. I'm moving on to a 'me' project starting tomorrow - which may or may not be interesting on video too.

Thank you Mike. I agree - the fiddly bits do take a lot of time, care and attention - but do add a lot of 'finish' to the project. And the project is indeed finished - client moved in yesterday and is happy ;-)

Thanks Mark. I can report that all are happy with the result.

Cringe-worthy others have said ;-)

Thanks Mike. It's hard to know what the 30-something teenage customer thinks. She's quite vocal and quick to pick minor flaws, but says little about the overall job. Which, I guess, means she's happy, because she not complaining 🙂

Thanks Mark. Maybe one day I'll get a sponsor - like Bunnings or Ozito.

Sanding is the worst - especially with shoulders on fire after being to the gym. Thank god I was dealing with small spaces, is all I can say. Thanks again for watching. I will check out the Vancouver Carpenter.

Thanks for your continuing interest Mike. The timber-insert video will be published next week. yes indeed, that little plane was a real champ. I'll have to start collecting the others.

I'm in love with ironbark 🙂

While that was two day's effort (and about $300 wasted (don't tell Rosie)) - I am sorely tempted to give it another go. Thanks for watching - and thank you for your encouragement.

Thanks as always, Mike. Ozito may not be the best tools - but they are great value no doubt. They'll do me just fine.

Thank you for watching my humble efforts. A sponsorship deal - wouldn't that be sweeeet ;-)

That gap had a planned purpose. But, as you'll see in a future video, not all my creativity pans out ;-)

Thanks for watching, Mark. I saw those selves at Ikea on a recent trip to the big smoke - and in a kitchen display shop. But they were tagged at about $800. I got them on Ebay for about $200! And they really do add a bit of 'cool' to the DIY install.

💪

The bigger cupboard I put up first was meant for the high placement, so was shallow - and when I moved it to the left,, I did bring it forward about 100mm (with a cavity behind it. The skinny cupboard that filled the remaining space was meant for floor mounting, so was deep. I left that 100mm deeper when I cut it up, so as to use all the space, but still leave it flush with the other cupboard. So, overall, the cupboard faces are 100mm forward of original. Thanks for watching, as always.

Not the first hot screw I've had - and probably not the last. There's dem dat learns and dem dat are a bit slower 😚

Coming along surprisingly well. I just hope you haven't jinxed me!!!

Each company of 6RAR had an artillery battery attached to it for indirect fire support. Delta Company was directly supported by 161 Battery, RRNZArtillery. During the battle, 161 Battery took the lead, providing fire support throughout the battle, with the others only joining in later being directed by the kiwi forward observer, Morrie Stanley. The Americans were tasked with keeping Charlie's mortars occupied. Apparently, the Anzacs considered them not accurate enough for such close work.

It's your fault - you said to make it solid ;-)
