Hi,

Wondering if some of the old lags on here (or indeed some of the new lags) could give me a little advice.

Been thinking about getting a working platform to make it easier to do stuff higher up (obviously!) -

Still got 3 ceilings to paint so would be handy, but it is worth the investment and am I likely to get any use out of it after done those three ceilings (I normally ...

PostPosted: Fri Sep 28, 2007 9:20 pm 
Recently on a trip to Florida I was trying to get to Home Depot, equivalent I suppose to B&Q. Never managed to get to the store. Upon returning home i noticed on their web site that they are going to be selling Ryobi Lithium One Plus System soon. Has anybody heard of a release date in the UK.

P.S I wish I had gone to the store. Prices are fantastic.

PostPosted: Tue Sep 25, 2007 5:35 pm

 Post subject: Steel Mesh
PostPosted: Tue Sep 25, 2007 12:34 pm

Any ideas where you can buy steel mesh - the sort of thing you see protecting landrover headlamps?
