• 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!

    Conversion - bathroom to en-suite

    Roger no offence was meant, I was just pointing out what for me was obvious and your thread is helpful for many other people who are looking and maybe thinking of taking on a major renovation. I will add that the bathroom is probably the worst room in a property to do when it comes to a...

    Conversion - bathroom to en-suite

    What is this doing under a floor, and clearly looks out of align going by the nuts shown on the left side not being parallel ? I only use compression type fittings where the pipe connects to a trap, or sometimes onto a stack and everywhere else are solvent weld and also avoid tight bends...

    Removing cat flap

    Might be easier to just get yourself a cat then you have a reason not to remove that cat flap.

    Conversion - bathroom to en-suite

    Decent adjustables are handy, cheap adjustables cause more problems than they are worth. When your long spanners cannot get in then these short adjustables can save the day and are also good in that they help prevent the overtightening of compression fittings due to less leverage. Another...

    Conversion - bathroom to en-suite

    The two advantages of that adjustable are that it is very short in length and the jaws themselves are very narrow, with straight fittings often not a problem but elbows and tee's are another game.

    Conversion - bathroom to en-suite

    The adjustable is not for the nuts but to hold the body whilst tightening a nut, bad practice to try and tighten both nuts at the same time without holding the body.

    Well that’s another f&£king awful day!

    Unfortunately it is not just dogs, cats, horses and any other type of pet will pass on and leave a bloody big hole in your life.

    Uses 'electrickery' so... Cross line laser unit

    I learnt years ago when using bubble levels that when first using them on a job always try them at 180 degree's and they should read identical, if the level is even slightly bent then it will show a difference. How did I learn this, well someone thought my level could double up as a lever to...

    Uses 'electrickery' so... Cross line laser unit

    For marking a level point round a room you could always go old school and use a water level, it can do something no laser level can and that is mark the same level in another room. Also cheap at about £20 and as precise as you can read the level, I used to use dye so the water was coloured...

    Uses 'electrickery' so... Cross line laser unit

    Well the first one I brought was a red line type and with too much ambient light it was hopeless, but it was a learning curve. I brought the second one several years later which was more expensive but had a green laser that turned out to be not very bright but better than the red line...

    Uses 'electrickery' so... Cross line laser unit

    Yes but from my experience with low priced lasers they failed to deliver, why did I buy low priced lasers ? Because no one pointed out the pitfalls before hand so sharing my experience and not wanting people to get there hopes up.

    The question now is would it be a good or bad thing if that mad monster Rudykanu who killed those three girls in Stockport got the same ? I think it would be much better to put him into a real prison like the Bangkok hilton.

    No mater how many of these types of people pass on there are always more in the wings waiting because we just seem to breed defective goods, the question to be answered is why, where does someone go off the rails and it does make you wonder about reincarnation, perhaps they just keep coming...

    Uses 'electrickery' so... Cross line laser unit

    But decent tools make a task easier, less stressful and if the job goes wrong you only have yourself to blame. If a tool fails to give good results then no mater how many you can buy and still be quids in compared to the single decent one the results don't change.
