I read that as steam roller at first and I think I prefer that.

Also if your front door opens outward that means anyone you invite in has to step backwards off the porch or stoop when you open the door for them.

I�ve lived in the UK and US and have never encountered an out-opening front door.

Sure, that's how it should be done. It's just not "normal" in the US, so I've never seen one done that way. One suspects it's an extra cost thing, since it is atypical here. Sort of a vicious cycle.

It's also not normal in the UK, or at least it wasn't between 1977 and 2002.

Not really standard kit unless you live somewhere that has been built or renovated recently though.

Every house I grew up in in the 1980s and 1990s had shaver plugs

What�s the name of that Japanese technique where you blowtorch they gently caress out of wood to create a weatherproof long term finish.

It�s used in the UK too but on agricultural buildings.

Not unless that person has feet with a contact patch the same size as one of the feet or wheels that thing sits on.

The feet on the machine have a contact about the same size as someone stood on the ball of one foot, yeah. Which I did just now and can confirm, didn't split the tiles, or the bones in my foot.

Ok you really weren�t joking about it being massive.

What are you going to do with all these machines once you�ve built your stairs?

Sure if you want a crap workbench. I already had a crap workbench.

Can you not just drill holes through all the planks and then bolt them together?

Do you have or plan to get a patio? You could get a small shed or closet just large enough to store your tools and do your hobbying outside. You could keep your tools while deciding on a permanent shop, and working outdoors means easyn cleanup, youou can literally just let the wind blow the dust away.

He lives on Plague Island, so the rain would prevent working outside for most of the year.
