It makes a change. Quiet often on these type jobs you don't get to do it 100% right either because of time restraint or budget restraints. Here is today's contraption in the bathroom to allow for the water tank, a platform and access to the roof. Just to get the engineer to check what I've done and make sure the area that it will sit will take 300kg. I'm pretty sure it will just needs some hangers and floor cover done |

Here is a vid of how I cut a taper free hand on the erika due to the joist its sitting on having a dip in the middle. I maybe could do with a head cam, yet you should get the idea

I must be getting old, or is that less dangerous than it looks?

Don't know about getting old. It's less dangerous than it looks as long as you stay alert and don't bring your fingers past the front of table while pushing the material

OK WW - It was looking like the material was being twisted about the blade, so I thinking of a kickback risk...
Luckily (or not), I have to wear reading glasses now, which also keeps dust out of the eyes.
I don't think I would be much slower with a jig saw on high pendulum and the speed at 4-6.

That's the old flooring started to get relayed. They're not all the same width Attachments:

As I'm busy putting down these old boards some are quite tight to go. As I don't have any floor clamps I made a very simple jig to aid wedging the boards up

Not sure on grade, have a feeling its grade 2. Apparently when they where built it was just a basic shell, then when he first ever owners bought the house the internal walls and rooms was divided up. In every partion at every corner is the the door frame then one is used and the other got lather over. Giving people the freedom to have a house to suit thier needs and not be the same as 3 doors along on these modern houses. The first and second level is leveled off and busy putting the floors down. Just the ground floor to do. Which is a bit of a nightmare with 3 doorways in close proximity to each other. Almost got the client talked into or convincing themselves to change the flag stone heights at the bottom of the stair which is far too low.

Nice one. I started out on grade 2 restoring timber frame buildings when I was a kid so although some things like that are a pig of a job I enjoy it. Other end of the scale for me at the moment. Doing a flat in a 60s block in London. Solid concrete frame and block infill. Took all the walls out as the blocks had shrunk and cracks every where.
