Curious about the wood you used. Pine with edging? I was looking at a piece of oak or ash for my desk but wasn’t prepared to pay 5k without seeing the wood and I couldn’t transport it based on the size. Ended up going with a counter top and edging for a fraction of the cost and no effort for sanding and varnishing compared to a proper piece of wood.
If I could I would go solid wood. I got a trick up my sleeve and will post pics in the near future.
 
You , Sir always have a monkey up your sleeve , building and constructing and planning a coup d'etat to overthrow Kopdoek :D
 
That's fasting ? I need to learn from you. My fasting is no food before 16:00

Hugh Jackman follows the same eating plan and he looks like a Wolverine. I look like a short fat Koala bear :facepalm:
 
If any members had the same crappy experience from Makro , this makes sense ...
How Takealot crushed Makro

I saw that coming!
Edit. Don't get me wrong.
I don't mean Takealot. Just like Makro, Builders falls under the same umbrella and all they need is competition and they will go down with a smile too.

Customer service sucks and there always staff ,but they always busy...doing nothing.
There whole structure and attitudes needs to change first!

Then they burn down the schools because the government didn't fix the hospitals they burnt down quick enough. You know how it goes.
I seen a whole hospital disappear for the greater good of building shacks.
Now the people in the shacks complains they need to go to the next suburb for a hospital.
