• 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!

    What I have fixed today

    Ive deep cleansed keyboards by prising the keys off( take reference photos first!) Keys in a pillowcase into the washing machine then towel dry. Wipe clean dry the base then clip them back in. Maybe worth trying as a last resort Drowned phones have been restored by burying them in a...

    Co-op Rip Off Insurers

    We had Major Problems with them as an energy provider. A bit like Boots,even on a good day they dont seem to do anything different or better than anyone else. Pointless existence. I tour the comparison sites but often find smaller independent outfits can beat the big ones and you get to speak...

    A question for the electricians

    "You still have rights under various bits of consumer legislation - fitness for purpose, etc. I'd say it's worth trying a strongly worded letter if you still have the machine." Tried that Eric with a karcher once before That heap was only a few days out of warranty despite having been used only...

    A question for the electricians

    400 w would cover devices left on standby and things being recharged Not sure the device would pay for itself before it ultimately failed We got shot of the tumbledrier because it ate electricity and switched to dehumidifier s but the latest eyewateringly expensive one has just failed two...

    A question for the electricians

    If you could store the electricity ( or feed it into the national grid for reward) it wont lose as much energy like hot water will as it cools We will need electricity to replace things like gas cookers in the future Converting energy to a different form will incur loss.

    A question for the electricians

    With all the issues sorted and the hidden ones discovered I think its a step forward. In my case a fully fitted rooftop installation would require a new roof underneath it first,then some clumsy out of town contractors clambering all over it. Then all the electrical installation.Then the tariff...

    Charger Dwalt

    Good link Thank you Roger Crazy as it seems it transpires that one has to fully insert said battery until it clips into place. Who'd have thought of that !!! :mad: Its charging now.......

    Wheelie Bin Store

    I dont think Special Branch would be kicking the door in at 5am if you bought yourself a set ;) Aside the arbour length and physical gap there is the integrity of the bearing and motor to consider -theres a lot more mass to initiate and a lot more cutting load transferred. The 255 tbl+ would...

    Wheelie Bin Store

    I thought it was that the length of the arbour is too short on "European" machines. Perhaps both,although Iirc there was someone who claimed on his yt video that he had a very simple set fitted to an Evolution. They seem to be widely available in Sterling on on Amazon/ebay

    If there was one hand tool which you would like to see made again.

    As a kid I was graciously given a drill just like the one on the right in Dukes photo along with a yankee screwdriver, by my dad Upon reflection the old bugger was just offloading his rubbish as the screwdriver just jammed at the top of each recoil and the drills chuck/pinion/shaft kept...

    So..is anyone feeling, justifiably, just that little bit smug ….

    Its a similar situation with boiler servicing as ours is right out in the sticks Ive got a choice of cheap rates but never turns up,cheapish rates but sends spotty teenagers who do more damage than repair,or excruciating rates but is faultlessly reliable and ( a bit too )thorough. One time we...
