How are you dealing with the Covid 19 lockdown?

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.

You guys need to get onto those magic erasers! They're the best.

https://home.howstuffworks.com/magic-eraser.htm

Never use magic erasers on gloss or semi gloss finishes. They WILL leave a dull spot. They act like a grit 3000 - 5000 sandpaper.

Never use it on car paint. You will ruin the clearcoat.

Be careful using it on glass too.

I do like TP's approach

One smack across the head and writing on the walls will never happen again.

And dont get me started with blutac on the walls. Damn disgusting oily filth..

Lucky they're Collingwood supporters. Whack a Richmond supporter on the arse
and you could give them a concussion.

I mean, you could also take my approach and not care about anything.

Texta also! Had to buy washable textas but no idea if the actually come off any easier and the damage is well and truly done.

My sisters kids.

so why isnt she cleaning and painting it then

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

Autism and ADHD is a hard combo. She has my understanding, but I still would not put up with th3 wall damage

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!

good luck, but gees be careful with any diet plan that promises those results!

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]

Where do you get the blood test done?

[stui magpie]

They email me a form to take to a pathology place. I don't know if they have a preferred mob yet, I'll see once I get the stuff.

The lock down at this time is just irrelevant to me - all of it is just irrelevant
