• 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!

    Look after yourselves chaps!!

    Sorry to read this but glad you've been able to open up - to us if nowhere else. All I can offer is to not go AWOL as you're sure to have friends close by that will support you on this journey going forward... even if only one or two... if not, then here as Mark (@TrimTheKing ) for one has...

    Time... recalling earlier memories... any that bring up the better times... ? None of it easy to go through... 😔🙏

    Look after yourselves chaps!!

    My condolences to you Mark on the loss of your friend. Also condolences to others that knew him and will also be saddened and shocked by his passing... and the possible way he left. You don't mention him having any family but, if he had, I offer condolences to them also. That *black dog*...

    Spot for a cabin, delayed for 5 years, maybe this year.

    Ah! Yes!... memories of being up there - on the edge of the moors. Rain always sideways - right to left from the top of our hillside... Remember the winds taking 2 homemade pig arks, 8ft x 8ft ¾" (proper ¾" back then in early 1980s) floors and 8ft x 4ft ends, galvanised steel sheets bent...

    What I have fixed today

    Thanks Bob... I hope I do also... no brownie points if my being ill spoils the trip to Cornwall 😎. I think most of us just "take the meds" when given... as we want to get better as quickly as possible. Put our faith in the Med Pros... I'd read through, not pay too much attention as most SEs are...

    What I have fixed today

    Thanks for the get well wishes Bob. Wish I could say I'm on the way but heading into the 3rd week and still have it. Thing is, having looked at the side effects of the Amoxocillin, I can't tell if the cough is now there because of the antibiotic as it's a listed side effect? So will try for a...

    What I have fixed today

    Bob... I don't know what you've done (or NOT done?!) for you to be chasing for 'brownie points' recently... was it something to do with the change of motors? I've been (still am) a tad *under the weather* and not been visiting the forum much so may have missed something... That said... on the...

    Threading like Grandad

    Thank you for sharing this Andy - very interesting indeed to hear some history of the owner back when these were in use. A lovely find indeed.

    John’s workshop

    Sad to hear you just missed out on that one. One that I got for the 'Retreat' I built for the eife was courtesy of a DG window/door company on the trading estate at the back of me. I'd been in and asked and given my details. Two days later I'd a message they'd put one just outside of their skip...

    John’s workshop

    John, I can't answer the question re this window but have a suggestion - which you may already be trying? Contact the local window installers in your area - also any firms making this stuff - and ask them if they are doing any replacement units of the size you're looking for... or if they have...

    🤔... there's a joke to be had here... all down to individual interpretation 😎🥃

    Photography: lubricating a tripod ball+socket.

    Understand Bob... under those circumstances 😊... Good to hear you were able to get a decent price for the other stuff for his widow which is what you'd some concerns over. I know what you mean regarding weight of those Nikon... my D810 gives me the wobbles sometimes - especially with the 80-400...

    Sad you sold the Giotto on Facebook so cheap Bob. You didn’t ask (put these) in the Forum 'For Sale' area?

    Seven Heirlooms - Rear view!

    You're a step further in communication with them Malcolm. Fingers crossed for better news - along the lines given by @PAC1 👍 I tried looking back in your thread for comments on the cases when you received but couldn't locate it.

    Seven Heirlooms - Rear view!

    Mmmm... OK. They're on a winner then with the 30 days (before seeing @PAC1 posted comment). Hopefully you'll be able to find buyers for them. The only alternative I see (at this point) would be you undertaking making some more that will fit in the cases. Is that something to try?
