Or they've got a mind-reader back at base and knew what you were going to do before you did it. Spooky!:)

Morning All :D
Certainly a brisk one out there today. :)
All the usual stuff done, going to have a cup of coffee in moment.
I may be putting up some battening and some curtain track later. :(
There's another minor problem with the "CHATHE" (CHinese-lATHE), it seems it was spray-painted underwater, all the paint is falling off the sheet steel panels. :(
Now this is not critical to its operation at all, but it is depressing.

Have a nice weekend. :D

Smoothriteable?

The response from the seller is: "We are very sorry for the inconvenience, we have express shipped (FEDEX) 2 new drive belts, and would offer you £40 refund for your troubles."

I think I will cut my losses, take their cash and fix all the issues myself. ;)

Better than a smack in the face with a wet fish, just about.

I think I will try some proper "metal paint" and go for a very light (brilliant White?) colour so as to improve overall visibility in the working area.
I might try Rustoleum or smooth Hammerite. But TBH, anything is better than the "poster-paint" they seem to have used ;)

Smooth Hammerite or Smoothrite! (Well some peeps call it that). https://www.zoro.co.uk/shop/lubrica...MIyunih_OO7gIVw6fVCh1k2QslEAAYASAAEgLO0vD_BwE

But we both know what we mean. I use the black one lots and lots. If you follow the directions to the letter which isn't obvious, it does a great job on surface rust, that has been basically wire brushed and sanded a bit. Just done my tow bar mounting parts and didn't even second coat em.
Best of luck with it.:):):)
 
In my ongoing quest to reduce energy consumption in me house I am currently doing a load of clothes washing while the machine is connected to a power monitor so I can see just how many pennies it costs.

I'll report back once the wash cycle is complete as I know you all want to know the results ;) and I'll then do a tumble cycle and let you know how much that costs as well.

I do like to live life to the max. :p

Looks like the result of using the wrong paint on contaminated metal. Eye finks a good clean after the paint is removed will be of benefit. Perhaps an etch primer anorl.

I can see where this is leading but don't forget, when you do get a new job people are a bit prejudiced about BO. Sniff sniff - :eek::eek::eek:

I have a washer/dryer so it's all enclosed and doesn't have any eggsauce pipes. It just has a drain to the sink outlet.

Our tariffs don't offer cheap overnight lecky, so it doesn't matter what time of day I run the machine, it would cost the same.

It is a cheapy one from Currys. L8W6D18

As I live alone it makes sense for me to have an all-in-one device as I can put a load in the machine and it comes out clean and dry.
