New from Worcester (sort of)

Postby DBT85 » 11 Jan 2016, 13:08

Howdy folks,

My name's Darren and I'm for London, been into all sorts of DIY since I was a kid up to and including fitting kitchens and bathrooms. Always had an interest in woodwork and would watch hours of Norm on the TV when I was younger.

In 5 weeks or I'll be moving to a nice house in Worcester and so will finally have enough room for some kind of workshop for all sorts of things. Found this place after reading about Mikes workshops from another forum.

I'm new to woodworking but hopefully with time I can learn like I do everything else!

And hello and welcome from me too!

We like builds here no matter how big or how small. And don't forget the photos as we like those too.:D
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Thanks guys,

There are sure to be plenty of pictures. It's just in the sketchup/planning/"can I afford this" stage at the moment, but since the house is an old farm house there is plenty of room.

Hi Roger,

We'll be in Pinvin, Pershore.

The house has been undergoing lots of work in the last 12 months. I've got 90% of the kitchen done but desperately need to get the main bedroom finished before the end of January.

A bit of a pain living and working in London when I've a house that needs so much work done 120 miles away!

LOL....been there. Done that. If it's any consolation, we're still working on the house 20 years later on !!

I'm just West of the Malvern Hills and if you're ever passing this way you're very welcome to pop in.

And a big welcome from me too.

If when you get to the new house, there is a bit of a bad smell, that will be Roger S ** - you might even get a council tax rebate :lol:

** Sorry I should have said "that will be Roger's septic tank" :shock:

And if you are into aircraft then you are ideally sited for the Throckmorton Air Display.

Hi Darren,
welcome to the forum. I don't get on here so often, but not that far from you, just a few junctions up the M5.

Hope this new year will be a good one for you in your new home.

Yeah my in laws have had people pull in and watch the display from their place when nobody could get in as it was so busy!

Huge fan of a good airshow so that's always good, and I think you can get on the flat expanse of road/tarmac/concrete there which could be fun in the car ;).

Thanks for the welcome all!

You better believe it! Last year, because of the 'Vulcan Effect' Pershore and all surrounding roads were gridlocked. As I used to live in The Lenches I knew a sneaky way in the back and so avoided the crush. :eusa-whistle:
