    Wooden window frames

    In my first townhouse, on a north facing wooden door I used first coat 75% turps + 25% woodoc. Second coat 50/50, third coat 25% turps + 75 woodoc. After 3 years my door still looked a lot better than my neighbors door which he treated yearly. The turps gets sucked into the wood and thereby...

    Is it worth switching car tracker services?

    The latest "trick" from the insurance is to apply their knock for knock, rule. Your insurance pay your damage and the other parties insurance pays their damage. And you must pay your own excess and your insurance "claim" that they will claim it back from the other party but I don't think they...

    Inverter Eskom consumption vs pre- paid meter

    Y I think that is where your problem lies. Can you manually overide your geyser timer during the day and then see what is happening on your inverter? It wouldn't be so difficult to change the settings on your inverter yourselves. That will save your installer a callout.

    Marantz remote conflict with Primare amplifier

    It might be worth a try: what about using a Logitech Harmony or any other learning remote? Maybe there is a little difference which might stop them from interfering?

    Moment medical students find out school will be tuition-free

    When I was there, when people ask me if I have adapted, my normal reply was: not very good because I still eat biltong instead of bokkoms, drink beer and not wine and I still have all my teeth. LoL

    Moment medical students find out school will be tuition-free

    That place has got a "interesting" way of growing on you. I would love to go back to Dwarskersbos and stay there permanently. You learn to carry a light, wind and waterproof jacket along, even when the sun is burning you to a crisp.

    Moment medical students find out school will be tuition-free

    Haha you are a bit off target. I used to stay in Dwarskersbos for 5 years, while working at Saldanha Steel. Please note that I had to drive a differt route to work due to burning tyres and "industrial" action 3 times in that five years and that was only between Dkb and Laaiplek. And this...

    Moment medical students find out school will be tuition-free

    With all the striking, protest action, intimidation of students who wants to attend classes, does it still count? I wonder.

    When you rely on help that does not happen.

    Haha and to buy from somebody just before they emigrate, didn't work for me. From torn surrounds, noisy Nad tuner to a very weird working Rotel amp. Lets hope the repairs wouldn't cost a arm and a leg.

    How much do cables matter?

    Please remember to use a wet bulb thermometer and include the reading in your assessment. Then your victim can truly say "He blinded me with science". Where would the world have been without cables? I wonder. LoL

    Vacuum cleaner recommendations

    I have a Wap in my garage and that thing sucks very well, but it is quite bulky. I have fixed a Nilfisk's cable a while ago and it was very quiet compared to my Wap but it sucked just as good. Btw to get cat hairs out of furniture, dip your hand in a bucket of water and then wipe the hair...

    How Should Audiophiles Think About Hearing Loss as They Age?

    The problems with my hearing makes me more susceptible for background noise/sound. There is a restaurant close by with very decent food but the acoustics is very bad and everything echoes in the building like a empty room. N prefer not to gou there due to the noise. I prefer to sit outside if...
