That didn't work on mine, there was serious stubborn happening.
Anyway, working on this 2nd front door. There's 4 mending plates at the bottom holding it together, had a brainstorm and ordered some 3mm plywood from Bunnings. With that, some liquid nails and some real nails, make a support strap for top and bottom, inside and outside. Then I'll be able to put some silicon around the glass and finish prepping it for painting.
While I was there, the door lock has never worked. I have a pad bolt and padlock on it to keep it closed. So got to work with the WD40 for the lock mechanism and hammer and chisels for where it's supposed to fit in. 30 minutes of fkn around but works like a bought one.
The doorknobs are really schmik, round, really heavy wood look but the face plate's are in serious need of tidying. One's been painted over the other seems rusted or tarnished.Next job.

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Never use magic erasers on gloss or semi gloss finishes. They WILL leave a dull spot. They act like a grit 3000 - 5000 sandpaper.David wrote:You guys need to get onto those magic erasers! They're the best.

Never use it on car paint. You will ruin the clearcoat.
Be careful using it on glass too.

My sisters kids.
and no, mine didnt, not after the first time anyway!!
Her clean? Too funny!
Actually I can't be that mean, she has been doing some re-tiling at Nans when the tiles in the bathroom keep falling off the wall
The biggest problem is the older child has autism and adhd and the younger one just copies anything he does!
Mum says my sister used to write on the walls and kick holes in the walls, of course I never did any of that, I was an angel

I'm hoping to use the restrictions to drop some weight.
I haven't put on weight working from home the past 5 months but I haven't been able to lose any either. Couple of kilos one week, back on the next.
So I just signed up for the Aston RX weight loss program, drop 10kg in 28 days is the spruik. Eddie refers to it on his radio program. So I'm be doing it for the month of September. We'll see how this works.

10kg in 28 days? that doesnt sound healthy. I downloaded calorieking onto my ipad 11 days ago, ive lost 2.2kg, and that first day i almost died from running a klm in 8.43 min, i can now do it in 7.36 and not fall on the couch in a heap! i wore my jeans today, no squeezing, no coathanger/jumpoffthetopofthewardrobe needed! go me!stui magpie wrote:I'm hoping to use the restrictions to drop some weight.

I'll watch out. It starts with a blood test after which they supposedly come up with a tailored diet and exercise plan. Sounds legit. I also got an email from a person after signing up on line regsring my high BP and how I should check in with my GP. So signs are good. It looks like a variation of the Keto diet, I'll see how it works.think positive wrote:10kg in 28 days? that doesnt sound healthy.
