Aaargh. I've got a similar problem for a customer. They want a very large telly stuck on the wall in a room with plasterboard walls. Only plasterboard. No studs. The oak timbers are close enough together for there to be no need for studs just at the point where they want the telly. Can I screw into the oak? No.
So...I think it's out with the welder and make something that will transfer the load to the floor - but slim...with luck I can disgujise it in the tunking that will carry the cables to the telly. That way the wall only has to take a tiny fraction of the weight.

I'm fitting one of the ones with a basin on top next week. Customer has a tiny downstairs loo that currently has nowhere to wash hands. Loo is so tiny it's even smaller than ours - which the kids call the sidraT 'cos it's much smaller inside than you expect.

Perhaps they're not aware it's there. I mean - there's only one sign....

I used to fly models at Nothwick Park in Harrow. There was a crow that really didn't like my glider going past her tree. She was never bothered by power planes, but gliders really got her goat. Usually she just escorted them off the premises, but occasionally she'd savage one.

Either a couple of flashes of the hazards, or alternate left/right a couple of times is common in the UK...or a cheery wave. I rather like to do a "courtly" baroque wave out of the window, if I can.
The one that really annoys me (apart from not saying thanks at all) is flashing headlights...at night. Great - thank me by dazzling me. Clever. Instead, I blink my lights off for a moment...just as effective, but no dazzling.

The "after" shots look so artificial. Has everyone forgotten what real humans look like?

We have three black cats, Meep, and a pair of twin sisters, Fluorine and Chlorine. I can't always tell them apart if they're not near each other...and we didn't actually mean/ to end ujp withj three near-identical moggies, but that's what happened. Two are on the table with me now (actually, I'm not on the table, just at it) and the other - Florrie - is off terrorising something somewhere.

IR is fun, too. If you have a spare webcam, take it apart and find the infra-red filter - usually a small square of glass on the back of the lens or on top of the sensor. Prise it off, and your camera can now see near-IR. Add a filter that cuts visible light - I make a sandwich of red and blue gel for stage lighting, and all it will see (near enough) is IR.
Cola is transparent. Some black fabric stays black, while other appears white. Some printed pictures, such as those on ID badges vanish, while the text remains. Fun.

I think that table's schist.

I think that's a bit harsh. We've IKEA stuff that's not needed reinforcing, though what we mostly use them for is components. They sell plastic boxes and slides, for example, which can be built into "properly" made built-in stuff. But Rascal Cat is right - use a drill/driver not the little toy you get with it.

When I was a kid we had a magnetic soap-holder. It had a thing like a crown-cap from a beer bottle and a magnet on an arm that stuck out from the wall. Push metal into soap. Hang from magnet. Perfect.
Oooh, look, you can still get them...

He's right about the lack of danger...mostly. Because there's no air, the entire space is filled with incompressible fluid. That means that apart from the tension in the metal, there's no source of energy to propel any fragments. Were it filled with gas, the energy stored by compressing it could be enormous.

Ours goes up on pulleys in the stairwell. It's out of sight, uses a space that would otherwise be wasted, and dries a full load of washing in overnight, or in about three hours if you turn the fan on - a small desk-fan screwed to the ceiling to circulate the air a bit. We have a tumble-drier - but being part-Scottish, I can't bring myself to actually turn it on.

Strikes me you're going to end up with neck muscles like Tim Curry in Legend.

It's missing that most useful tool, the special thing for getting Boy Scouts out of Girl Guide tents.
