• 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!

    Nervous about Surgeon

    It most definitely is. Train carriages, massive project, in your 70s, big team, old wood etc etc... Sounds like those of those 'thread of the year' type of topics. Thankyou. Yes pls (obviously, if you actually have time for such a potentially busy thread and the work itself). Time consuming...

    What I have fixed today

    Fuse, thanks, do you mean to just fill the whole of the void with bubble wrap or insulation. Or just wrap the hot water pipe.

    Checking out for work at B&Q (or checking in) at about 19 years old.

    What I have fixed today

    Very nice thinking (about the insulation) Duke. I was gonna brace it but hadn't thought about insulation. Good shout as always Duke and thankfully it doesn't weight over 10kg. So can be done during my hernia recovery 😁

    What I have fixed today

    Aha, yes. They are part of the bath and fitted exactly where they were advised to. Maybe cos its a shorter bath (1500mm) they seem a bit off? I thought most baths in the UK came with metal supports (which leaves me with the question, now that you've mentioned it, that maybe it doesn't need...

    What I have fixed today

    Oh, you mean the wooden lengths under the metal supports. No, thats what was sat sideways on/under the previous bathtub. I only put them in this way as space beneath the copper pipes was limited and also they now sit perpendicular to the floorboards. I'm hoping it will all work out as I have...

    What I have fixed today

    They do indeed Duke. Its supposed to be a higher quality bathtub (Ideal Standard) but I'm not entirely sure. I think I only got it as its what I usually see at work (NHS Hospitals) instead of Armitage Shanks of old. Put it this way, it was fouling my bath trap slightly so I had to use an extra...

    What I have fixed today

    For reference I never actually rode down that 35%. Its the recently resurfaced Bamford Clough in the Peaks. Not that I didn't want to, but common sense got in the way. Anyway, another update on here once I've put some more woodwork framing in.

    What I have fixed today

    Story so far (after I sacked my builder/bathroom installer and let him keep the £1150 deposit, for an easier life) as belly button hernia repair (mesh) gets in the way. In pictures of as many I can find. None of his **it dangerous work, but some is what I'd reversed/fixed/redone!! In a nutshell...

    Square of Thales

    Yup, I told her that initially but this one seemed the best of a bunch. Good rule that and from the level of kit he turned up with yet charging us double (which is what made me think it might be feasible that he's actually shuffled some jobs about... especially since he's part of apparently 'a...

    Square of Thales

    Its a complex one Duke. Involves a really stubborn wife (whats wrong with a perfectly functioning but boring looking bath, sink, tiles and the lot I ask ya) and a few tradespeople. First guy was supposed to be good. Came with a recommendation from my mate who's a part time builder. But that lad...

    Square of Thales

    Hello everyone, long time no see/speak. Justto reintorduce myself, @duke I think was making good ground on the shed upgrade. But then builder/fitter number one cancelled on me. All bathroom tiles, bath, sink etc already bought awaiting for his big day. Found bathroom fitter number 2 with a 50%...
