Those look lovely but we are large people. Not sure that is suitable lol.
I do love the idea of a bench swing though.

I had a similar thing ten years ago. Rusted to shit near the ocean. So watch out for metal standing out in the rain. Power coating just needs one spot for rust to get it. But up there it's probably less of an issue.

Move to the Karoo. No rust and lots of solar power. Just need a good borehole though.

The thing with grates is that they all corrode away over time, unless it’s stainless. And I’d hate to think what those would cost if they were stainless.

Sounds like you need to take a nap on that swing bed.

Slowing down is what will put you in your grave. So no thanks

And drinking is no excuse -just because you lack libido doesn't mean the rest of us are going to go the same route

I was wasted last night.
Don't even remember posting that
Thank goodness for forums with time stamps
I wake up each morning and go online to see what kak I spoke the previous night

Noticed you were drunk and was waiting for you to say Tribs is going to become a swinger or something punny like that. :LOL:

Now that would definitely have been funnier than telling me not to shag on it
Seriously though, the chances of getting the rhythm spot on with the pendulum of the swing are pretty remote, and even if you get settled into it, you’ll end up going out of sync on the short strokes.

And besides, three minutes isn’t really long enough to properly get all that stuff co-ordinated.

Um reverse or normal cowgirl is what I had in mind. And who says the rhythm needs to match - or that it has to be intense ? It could just be a really relaxed sideways cuddle.

Ok - currently I am building a room divider as I am stuck working from home for the foreseeable future and I do not have a dedicated, private place to put up an office. I am in the open plan Lounge/dining room. This means that I have the TV noise to contend with when I game at night and they have my "Where are you" to put up with. So I want to build a room divider.

Will go into details later but suffice to say I am using a fairly heavy wood that will be connected using hinges - to create a z-fold divider. My mom is concerned that it is going to fall over and kill me. So I am working on a removable stand for the panels. Which would be stronger?

The panels will not be fixed onto the stands.

How tall will the dividers be? :)

The second picture is better but it will be harder to fit the divider.

Are you going to put these all along the divider?
Will it have some sharp angles when it is in place?

If you could make it stand on its own with a corner( if that makes sense) then it would be the best.

If you need to use stands because it is too straight would go for the first picture with the plank across the panel and the long end of the steel bracket up.
