• 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!

    Fitting a back-to-wall WC with an offset fitting.

    Can it be avoided. Even a small offset is apt to cause big problems.

    NHS - truly amazing service

    Adrian, I do not know what your diagnosis is but on Radio 4 today they were talking about an incredibly safe way of dealing with Prostate Cancer. no surgery, no radiology, no Chemo. The problem was not sufficient people (Doctors) know about it. A charity called Prost8 are trying to spread...

    A small project with a difficult joint

    Wonderful. And what an eye for detail you even adjusted your logo so that it was vertical in situ rather than centred on the wedge.

    New vs Old Machines + Optimum Drill Press

    The other good thing with a track saw is that on a dry day you can go outside. Two trestles and you are sorted. Even though I have space and very good table saw, I find myself more and more choosing to make the first cut on a sheet of plywood, mdf etc outside simply on two trestles with...

    New vs Old Machines + Optimum Drill Press

    I have the Record BS400. At the time I bought it I was torn between it and a Hammer bandsaw. If I were making the choice again I would go with the Hammer as you will spend the difference on upgrades and still not be satisfied. It is a good bandsaw but could be so much better.

    Record temps

    For over a year a ginger cat has tried to adopt us. We do not feed it and eventually it goes somewhere else to be fed. A few weeks later it will return hang around for a while and try to convince us to change our minds then off again. I share Roger's conclusion.

    Drip irrigation.

    Yes, but whilst it may be impossible to over water sweetcorn the rocket will be drowned. There may be different types of porous pipe so you can tweak the amount of watering according to your need (I do not know). Also the porous pipe will deliver the water in the hose pipe to the lowest point...

    Drip irrigation.

    In simple terms the dripper system needs an individual small pipe and dripper (mini tap) to each plant. It provides very accurate watering of the plant you want watering. But it is a Faff to set up and a pain to change. It gets expensive versus 50p worth of courgettes. The porous pipe is...

    Drip irrigation.

    Maybe what you want is the porous pipe https://www.screwfix.com/p/verve-30m-soaker-hose-pipe/295YE?tc=VC7&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19815175362&gbraid=0AAAAAD8IdPx3Vzw3dnom93TEelI8OAeqq&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImvmeoLC8lQMVcYlQBh192A5nEAQYBCABEgJBYPD_BwE on a timer rather than the...

    Drip irrigation.

    We tried the drip system several years ago. Designed and installed main pipes and feeders and various speed drips and a network back to several outside taps with timers. Great for three months then plants grow, die and get moved. We soon got fed up of moving stuff. I could box up and send you...

    Spitfire !

    By coincidence there has been a Spitfire flying over here last weekend and this. Having seen it for the second time today I thought I would find out why. It turns out it is flying out of Tatenhill, just 5 minutes up the road. They do a choice of 3 flights, one of which is the Dambuster run...
