Hello

Postby Woodpile » 17 Feb 2015, 10:15

I was a member of The Woodhaven (my user name then was Diy Stew) I've been meaning to rejoin but never got round to it.
I was a Fireman for 24 years before being pensioned out with back/spinal problems, I also suffer from severe to profound hearing loss, I wear a hearing aid in both ears, TBH the right ear is completely shot, because of my back problems I don't spend as much time in my garage/workshop as I would like.
I'm married with two married daughters, each have two children, Eva 8, Harry 3, Finn 2 and Toby 1 week, I like to think I'm head of my extended family but I'm not, yes you've guessed it, it's Eva who rules the roost!
Likes - woodwork (obviously), spending time with the family, helping others less fortunate than ourselves. A good laugh (I have a bit of a warped sense of humour at times, mods please note, I will be a good boy)
Dislikes - bullies, anyone who abuses or takes advantage of vulnerable people ie the elderly, the disabled and children, politicians (I hope it's aceptable to say that), and last but not least Mobile Speed Cameras!
Whenever I start a project I take pics, but then I forget so I've never done a WIP progress (although I do like reading them), this will change, hopefully.
And finally, I can go on a bit. :lol:

Welcome back Stew.

After three posts the moderation thing goes away.

Just to add that you should not feel apprehensive about the forum indoctrination process. Any embarrassment soon goes.

:lol:

Hi ya Wood pile

I am to new to say welcome as it seems you are old stock.
I wonder if civilian service is similar to military? If this this is the case you missed out cynicism, you know the thing that grows in proportion to age.

best wishes
