Simon Davey Posted June 26, 2024 Posted June 26, 2024 Good afternoon Started our 7.5 ton horsebox for the first time since February. It fired up on the button, the brakes released quickly, and I went out for a nice drive for an hour. No aircon, so windows open and enjoy the muck spreading 2 1 Quote
Bender Posted June 26, 2024 Posted June 26, 2024 I'm making a lightweight kitchen unit for our little van, it's going slowly as time is hard to find, finished the worktop tonight. Laminated 5mm ply, 20mm styrofoam and. 3mm ply, strong and light, ohh and some shiny Formica. 6 Quote
Simon Davey Posted June 26, 2024 Posted June 26, 2024 That's pretty cool. Can the Formica take any heat? (just out of interest) Quote

Available in many many colours and patterns, in America it's pretty common to just build benches out of ply and just stick on whatever finish you want. Easy to go wrong on big areas though. 1 Quote

S-Westerly Posted June 28, 2024 Author Posted June 28, 2024 Not a good morning at all. During the night my Dad fell over in the bathroom. He seems OK but in the process managed to somehow dislodge the toilet which is now leaking so having to try and get a plumber at short notice. Great. 8 Quote

Steve_M Posted June 28, 2024 Posted June 28, 2024 Good morning. I’m off for a week’s break just up the road in Northumberland. Remember. Best behaviour while I’m away. 1 3 1 Quote
