• 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!

    Yes, that is part of the method. I should have included a pic of the bark. This from the internet. It is impressive on a large tree.

    Looks like 34 bq/m^3 is converts to~ 1 pCi/L. That would pass, here.

    Probably that wouldn't work. I say that because the system comes with a simple U-tube manometer. If I turn off the fan the manometer...

    No, the posts are asymmetrically shaped. Only one way to put them together. The plan is to recreate the slope by adjusting the heights...
