IN HIS workshop on Eel Pie Island near Twickenham, glimmering with light from the Thames outside, Trevor Baylis kept wrenches, pliers, cables, hammers, gear-wheels, lengths of piping, light bulbs, massed coat-hangers, tubs of washers, wing-nuts, screws and nails, books, chisels, old St Julien tobacco tins full of bits and bobs, saws, hacksaws, cross-saws, balls of string, a splendid metal lathe which neighbours would pop in to use, sheets of foil dropped in the war by German bombers, all his dead domestic appliances (for disassembly and cannabilisation), and last but not least his boyhood Meccano sets, their instructions held together with yellowing Sellotape, out of which he would still make little clockwork vehicles that buzzed along the worktops in a determined way.

Should some bacteria survive a chemical attack, they give rise to new generations composed completely of bacteria that have resistance to the particular chemical used. Under a sustained chemical attack, the surviving bacteria in successive generations are increasingly resistant to the chemical used, and ultimately the chemical is rendered ineffective. For this reason, some question the wisdom of impregnating cloths, cutting boards and worktops in the home with bactericidal chemicals.

A concrete grinder can come in many configurations, the most common being a hand-held angle grinder, but it may be a specialized tool for countertops or worktops. There are also purpose-built floor grinders that are used for grinding and polishing marble, granite and concrete. Machines that grind concrete floors are usually made to handle much more stress and will have more power to drive the unit as concrete has a much higher sliding friction than marble or granite which is also worked wet, therefore with less friction. In fact some types of marble will spark when it is ground dry, causing deep damage to the marble surface.

Since Reliant would be known for building robust fibreglass vehicles, it would diversify into producing fibreglass items other than their own vehicles. It was showcased in the "World of Reliant" documentary, which was written and filmed by Reliant in the early 1980s to show how diverse the company had become from a small car company producing 3-wheeled vehicles. Other fibreglass products produced were items such as GRP sinks and kitchen worktops, GRP replacement car wings for metal vehicles, GRP guttering and tubes, GRP train carriage bodies for British rail, and GRP aircraft bodies. Reliant also had many contracts with Ford to build fibreglass high roof tops for their Transit model.

The most modest modern mizuya may comprise little more than a hot-plate or electric kettle and several buckets of fresh water, and might be located in a screened-off outdoor area with a grass floor. A fully equipped modern indoor mizuya may rival the best- equipped kitchen, with several sinks with hot and cold running water, an elaborate system of storage areas, cupboards, shelves and worktops, a refrigerator, stove, and microwave oven. In practice, however, most fall somewhere in between. A typical indoor mizuya has in it a recess three or four feet wide and two feet deep, possibly with a tatami mat in front of it, equipped with a traditional sink (a long metal tub sunk into the floor and covered with a bamboo grate), several wooden shelves for storing tea supplies, and a board with pegs for hanging ladles and towels.
