Show me a better weld anywhere in the world

Getting a welding helmet is going to give you much better results than just welding with your eyes closed the whole time...

Mig is the easiest way to weld by a million miles.

Tig takes the longest to get right.

But it's like riding a bike. Once you have mastered the skill it's pretty easy.

MIG provides a good clean finish, but it carries additional cost of renting CO2 or Argon bottles.

Hi guys. Want to make wooden balcony frame glow in the dark. Where and What’s the best paint to use?

What do you guys do with regards to a toilet when you have people working at your place, specifically outside.

I have guys working on my gates and paving the next week, but I also have a dog that lets no one in the house. Coordinating letting the guys use the toilet with my dog and between meetings all day is gonna be a nightmare.

Should I rent a toilet or is it not my problem?

Largely it depends on if your acting as the "contractor" or not.

If you've sourced guys to do the work yourself, then hire a toilet, if you're paying a company (even a one man band type setup) to do the work, then its their problem to sort out.

What is the cost per day?

 

[SAguy]

What is the cost per day?

Last time I rented it was R500 per week

 

[APoc184]

That seems a bit high. Was it because you took it for a short period?

Around here the going rate is about R1000/month and it gets cleaned once a week.

Cool thanks

Yeah, weekly is more expensive.

Whats the mess situation like when changing old wooden windows to aluminium. Not too bad (a quick vacuum) or I need to move everything out?

I recently changed some iron windows to alu doors. Mess wasn't too bad. I just covered everything with blankets and vacuumed/mopped after.
