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.
 
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.

They where double opening doors with parliament hinges and side lights.

Total cost was about R19k including installation, but not finishing. So I had to fix the floor and move a power point, paint and so on.
