Thanks J, It was more to illuminate the use of timers on the existing extension lead! Not fussed about the voice side of things! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure this is where it belongs but has anyone got any experience with these? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys, I should add that I actually have a spare door for the cupboard in question, and after this pandemic we’ll be putting a new kitchen in anyway. This will be one of very few things that will entertain me while this s**ts going on! So imo it’s worth it! Sent from my iPhone using...

Photo from decoration. My house isn’t normally that untidy! The other side is more units Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The kitchen is getting replaced later this year. Hence the not worried about drilling a door. The wire grommets were an option but when opening the door I still fear it’ll pull the hoses Will get pictures later Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wanting to put an external filter in a kitchen cupboard. Trying to figure out the best way to route the hoses. Don’t mind cutting holes in the door, just want it near and tidy. Also will need to open and close the door. Any ideas? Extremely crude and awful picture of tank on the end of the...

Forgot to post an update! Doors on! Happy with the results, took some getting flat and level but got there in the end! Amazing what you can do with some scaffolding boards! Now just waiting on solicitors for the house move [emoji849] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Was meant to be building holiday cottages but got my priorities ironed out and knocked up a new unit for my 50L shallow tank. Made purely from the scaffolding boards I should have been standing on building said Holliday cottages and left over roof lattes. Doors will be done tomorrow...

That’s expensive!! Hopefully someone comes back with a more reasonable price! As others suggest, Hammerrite or rust-oleum is pretty good! Give it a bloody good scrub down! If you want to go all out a red oxide primer wouldn’t do any harm! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can’t see how if 8 legs are on the floor and taking weight, that only 4 legs will be taking all the weight, obviously, there will be a “sag” in the ply and I would agree a larger percentage of weight would be in the corners but the other legs will be distributing the load. Of course the unit...

Hi Keith, The legs are threaded, so are the nuts drilled into the ply, therefore you can adjust the height easily by winding them in and out then locking them in place with 2 nuts! I have literally cut the legs off this unit, I will be sanding the ply down to match the units profile, filling...

You’ll be surprised how many places do it! £30 might be in the cheap side as I’m a re-accruing customer and it’s always cash in hand but I can imagine it been much more! Good luck finding somewhere. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you thought about powder coating it again?! Very different but, I build motorbikes as another hobby, I have a guy reasonably local to me who charges £30 (cash) to chemi-strip and re-powder-coat old frames for me! I know £30 is more than £10 on a can of paint but you will get an...

I know! I’m dreading it! But I have a cunning plan! I’m just going to level the sheet of ply, I haven’t glued it yet, so I will remove it, level the ply, lock all the legs off, then glue and reattached the ply to the unit. Then fine tune! I think it’ll be easier than trying with the unit...

Just thought I’d update this! Not quite finished yet, need to get the belt sander out and clean up the edges (cabinet not quite square) before filling and painting the bottom! I will also be adding a “skirting board” to the bottom to hide the legs. These legs are M10 thread, rated to 100kg...

Sorry for the late reply! Absolutely no offence taken! You don’t know me from Adam so it’s always safe to assume the worst!! Your built in unit looks lovely! Tidy job! I like the work top! I have a 3 meter length of engineered oak in the garage from when I did my kitchen! Was saving it for a...

I will have a serious look into making a plinth, thinking about the load distribution, it might work better! Would 18mm MDF (sealed and painted) be strong enough? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Keith! I had taken this into consideration, I am happy to take the legs down further if/when I do move the tank, that’s not an issue. The plinth would be a good suggestion though! The legs run all the way to the top of the unit so taking them off wouldn’t cause any issues! Thanks for...

The floor is well over 100 years old, and has more marks, scuffs and scratches than I can count so that’s not a problem! I’m going to shave the back legs down, then add some felt furniture pads to take away any inaccuracies. I will also have some foam for the tank to sit on so they will...

The planer will be coming out this week! I’ve ordered some plastic shims from screwfix! Will take the majority down with the planer the fine adjust with the shims! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Keith! I have got some 10mm foam ready, that was always in the plan as there will be some vibrations due to it been on a wooden floor! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unfortunately it’s dipping at the front, so it will look unsightly! I think I need to get the planer out [emoji17] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds good! I’ve got about half an inch to take care of! Think I’ll be able to do it?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve got a fair bit of height to play with! We’re talking half an inch, but finishing with some of these will work a treat! Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds similar! Don’t suppose you have a picture for reference?!? Or explain how you’ve done it?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! Took quite a bit of doing! Yeah they are two possibilities! Not sure how stable it’d be! That was my first thought I can do it easily! Would just be worried how accurate I could actually get it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I’ve restored and strengthened (I can stand on top of it and weigh 95kg) this tall boy ready for my tank, I live in a 200 cottage with what I thought were fairly level floors, they are not, by a long shot... Can I use self levelling legs? Shall I just buy a proper unit?! Or should I...
