• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    Probably Bye for now...

    Welcome back Steve and we'll done for keeping your principles. They are important and each of us has the sense/logic to see the wood from the trees 😃. I too try to stay away from certain companies/organisations etc. Its just about each of us doing our bit of what we can. Amazon, I try my best...

    The Joy of the Primary Bevel

    Thanks for sharing this @Andy Kev. I've often wondered whether I was wasting my time (complicated statement I know) of just using the primary bevel. So slowly have been getting used to getting a decent second edge on there. But, as you mentioned, I too found just the one bevel a much more...

    Probably Bye for now...

    But, in all seriousness though. Well done holding fast to your principles. I also try to do my bitn(in my case, China and Temu/Shien/sh**. Didn't even know Starlink was dishing out Internet to everyone now!! Hope you manage to get signal sorted soon mate.

    Upgrading my wearing out shed - in stages on a budget

    Not much, but work is work. I was dreading picking up this big one to take round the back. But thankfully it was a 600 x 900 split down the middle. Been there that many months as I built up my strength to get em hauled through the house. Then it was just a matter of taking as many others...

    Upgrading my wearing out shed - in stages on a budget

    Thanks Duke. He's one (of only 2) that I lend out my tools to (without adding siblings as then it just get awkward saying no!). We have a said/unsaid agreement and know that if we knacker a tool, we won't be replacing with a Temu brand. Anyway, had a sleep. No more runny *oo. Was aware of the...

    Upgrading my wearing out shed - in stages on a budget

    Bit of a haul from my dad's garage and my mates storage/workshop. Almost nabbed some rebar but he gave me metal gate pieces instead. Nice massive grinder which I'll try not to wear out the disc (we discussed it). Bit of (I think) old oak table which was going to the tip from dad's garden so it...

    Recovering from an op- ideas of what to do?

    Haha. Always nice to see it from the customers POV. I always try my best to remind my colleagues that it's called Patient Controlled for a reason. Worse (imo) is when they don't even educate their clients correctly. I think overopiating a morphine naive patient might still be in the 'never...

    Recovering from an op- ideas of what to do?

    Physio today was really happy with my mums progress too (post stroke if you recall). I walk her - with her doing all the work, just me instructing to try push the weak leg out more and get balance - without the frame and hopefully in the coming months she'll be even stronger. Physio being paid...

    Recovering from an op- ideas of what to do?

    Yes, definitely attitude and mindset. I'm same and I'd have pushed for the toilet too (within reason). What you describe about your branch staff, thats similar to alot of my colleagues. They never bother to learn/read and sometimes even ignore standard protocols (like a PCA pump, its in the...

    Upgrading my wearing out shed - in stages on a budget

    Lons, pallet wood. I always put that down as substandard wood? There's actually a pallett across from my dad's (where I've just raided loads of patio bricks and wood from... with permission from the respective siblings/owners) which my mum told me this morning that I could take (they told her...

    Upgrading my wearing out shed - in stages on a budget

    I've decided against moving it Duke. Getting an equal lift with lads off the street is probably gonna be a bit 'pants'. Plus inside I had worked up the frame to allow lots of shelving thats on a horizontal - think of leaning tower of pizza maybe but inside shelves being flat!. Anyway, got some...

    Recovering from an op- ideas of what to do?

    Lons, not spinal but tummy removal surgery (for big boned, wealthy people) and one of the staff once told me when I was working there at that particular place. That one of the best surgeons for that op is in Norway or Sweden (maybe even Denmark). He actually would wake the patient after the op...
