It’s illegal over here to grind up vegetarians or even vegans.Maybe if it's dehydrated and ground into a fine powder ?

You might stick some hinge bolts in for extra security?
Yeah, I was thinking of doing some pins or similar, there's easier ways to get in than cutting the hinges, being fibreglass it's not particularly strong anyway. I plan to put some timber on the inside of the door to strengthen the fibreglass.
Ive actually got round to doing some welding
I'm making a new exhaust for my car, so needed to weld a tube for the silencer body. I did buy a silencer and thought I'd make my own. I decided to try and make the tube without using sheet metal rolls, instead I bend the sheet stainless steel around a piece of tube cut from an old prop shaft.
I decided to use a lap joint along the length as it seemed to be much easier than trying to do a butt joint. the stainless steel was closed using jubilee clips and the end of the tube was tacked with the the ends of the can temporarily held in place
then a few more tacks were added, with the propshaft tube being a a backing to reduce the sugaring on the inside.
this was then autogenous welded with a pulse setting on my tig.
and the inside wasnt too bad either

Thurs I did another balcony, this one much quicker as having done it before, had a process worked out, no painter getting in the way or customer watching over me, and I have a solution for the existing wonkeyness. The difference meant I was out by 13:30 instead of 17:30.
Todays one cancelled until next week so, went to my friends, moved and tidied the log pile so her gardener can start making a flat lawn.

I've got new rotors and pads a month or so ago, after just after a flex line up and fail .
Didn't have time to replace them till yesterday evening.
They didn't have much wear but the pads lost their performance.
Pretty disappointed because the contact surface was kinda mold , and I've replaced them only a year ago,the previous set (rotors and pads ) lasted three years and it was Brembo too , didn't replace the rotors last year.
So now my Punto has new Brembo front brakes finally .
I've also checked the flex lines if they are ok after a month or so I've replaced them, they look ok .
Used a pry bar to check the suspensions cause sometimes I feel like something moves beneath the floor.
I've thought might be a control arm, but it's not, so an engine mount but it's not either.
I feel like if the engine moves somehow but I've checked and everything is solid , the gearbox should have been destroyed if the engine was moving but it's fine.
Anti rollbar is fine too .
Might be the exhaust pipe or the muffler .
Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to check also because I have mot on Saturday and I have to install the stock exhaust before to go

A bit more slow progress.....
There's a plan for a small stuffing space across the back there. That & the mattress/bedding will cover all the visible screws.
I've fitted the separate top section.... but it'll have to come out again as I have 3 feed cables behind it to hook up to lighting there (it's made removable anyway as there are rear lights and a currently [not connected to anything] reversing camera in there I may want to get at later).
I've got some vents coming which I hope I can fit along the leading edge of the bed base (The base is insulated, so the slats and vents at the entrance to the sleeping pod are to allow ventilation under the mattress into the living space - the idea being nice & warm but aired to discourage damp/mildew...just in case.
Still plenty to do...

A wiper arm puller. Made from bits of scrap I had lying around.
Top made from 32mm bar.
Bottom made from 3mm plate.
Barrel made from 1" gas pipe.
Drilling and tapping the top M10 meant I could screw it to the mill table and cut the edges of the mouse-hole square.
Then weld the bottom plate on, grind it roughly round with a flap disc, then finish off in the lathe.
Then back in the mill to cut a 12mm slot.
The rest of the mouse-hole was done free-hand with a die grinder.
Tried it on the rear wiper on the Legacy, works great

Finished the roller system on Friday although will have to remove the hauler and rotate the motor so that getting the hydraulic pipes on is easier but apart from that hopefully it is done as the next boat is coming out the water tomorrow afternoon.
When they were putting it back in the water the lift caught the aft vertical roller and they then dropped it down suddenly when they noticed meaning 15 tonne of boat was hanging on the top bracket which soon got ripped off, it also bent the stainless flange of the roller pin but thankfully that was the only damage so it was an easy fix, 5 mins to weld on the bracket and a BFH to straighten the stainless flange.
