Another busy DIY day.

Hole cutter – used it to make a cover to fit neatly around a waste pipe that passes through the floor under the bath. The pipe had a huge hole cut for it, which will have been a constant draft source since the house was built, and potential rodent access point, which is probably why someone had place some poison under the old bath.

Cut up the old (fibreglass) bath with a saw - surprisingly easy. Cleaned up all the debris and went on to tackle another long needing attention job - preparation to sort the fence for a neighbour, by initially removing some gates I'd erected some 23 years ago to prevent the step daughters' dogs from straying... back in those few years of marriage. The gates' screws all came out, eventually, at the cost of two screwdrivers and an impact driver bit. Then dug up one of the posts. It wasn't willing to move at all – a big challenge to dig it out and haul/lever it out of the hole, not helped my frequent rain and one very heavy hail shower - near frosty temperature, but okay whilst working away. Broke off all the concrete from the post with a mash hammer and chisel. Perhaps did too good a job of fitting those gates. The other posts will have to wait for another day, as it was becoming too cold, wet and dark, and my hands were in too bad a state to continue outside.

Back indoors. Fixed bath to wall and floor. Seems solid enough. Ordered some closed cell joint backer rod foam to fill gap around bath prior to deploying mastic.

Whilst on the computer, in a moment of madness, ordered six(!) faulty SB700/800 flashguns along with a faulty Nikon 1 wide-angled zoom lens, for peanuts. Those flashes should mostly be an easy fix, and even fixing one or two of them will return a wee overall profit, along with doing some useful recycling.
