I want to cut a channel into a brick wall using an angle grinder.
The channel isn't deep / long, but there will be a lot of dust - which will pretty much destroy any vacuum cleaner I use to suck it up.

The channel isn't deep / long, but there will be a lot of dust - which will pretty much destroy any vacuum cleaner I use to suck it up.
I've asked this here once before, but if anybody has an old, nearly dead, but still working vacuum cleaner they'd be happy to part with, please let me know.
My alternative is to buy a new $40+ vacuum cleaner from the warehouse and then throw it away after using it.
I'd rather not do that. It'd be a shame to put that amount of plastics and electronics in the tip after only one use. Better to use something already pretty much at the end of its life.

The saw can be mounted above or inverted below the bench (saw guards supplied) and there are lots of YouTube instructional videos available, including the original 1984 3hr very methodical video. This one has done a lot of work and has a little surface paint flake but is generally in good condition. The saw is a 235mm Makita N5900B in nearly new condition - has only done a few light kerfing cuts, worth $380-420 new.

We’re raising awareness of falls prevention for over 65s. Older people can worry about having a fall, so much so that their activity reduces and they move less. Their strength decreases, affecting their balance and the risk of a fall increases.

Older people can worry about having a fall, so much so that their activity reduces and they move less. Their strength decreases, affecting their balance and the risk of a fall increases. We want to know how many Neighbourly members who are over 65 have had a fall or fear falling?
We value our older people and want them to stay well and independent. We want them to Live Stronger for Longer. We’ll share more about why we’re asking next week.

Attunement can help build trust in a relationship, but it's not as intuitive as those definitions sound. To help, we've created an acronym out of the word ATTUNE to guide you through the steps it takes to attune to your partner's emotions:
Awareness of your partner’s emotion;
Turning toward the emotion;
Tolerance of two different viewpoints;
Understand your partner;( try to)
Non-defensive responses to your partner;
and responding with Empathy.
While this process includes many of our other approaches—turning toward, responding with empathy, and validating different perspectives—following it will help you both attune to each other and create emotional harmony.
Remember, every employee must have a written employment agreement. If you’re an employer and you want to make sure you’re doing right by your workers, and are meeting your legal obligations, visit your local CAB, call us on 0800 367 222 (0800 FOR CAB), or check out our website, www.cab.org.nz.

Hey neighbours,
How do you feel about pets being allowed on Wellington's buses? The council will soon allow domestic pets ride along on public transport. So, will you be taking your dogs, cats and rabbits for a ride? Do you think it's a good idea? To read more click here.
