• 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!

    Well, that day didn't go to plan.

    FFS Mike, that is not good. :oops: Look after yourself, you are not getting any younger. Hope your recovery is successful. Physio and more physio. (Someone mentioned a ladder. Can we start a Go-Fund-Me to buy you one?;))

    Dividers for book shelves

    My 2 bits. 1500mm is a very long shelf to have books/weight on without support. The couple I built was max 500mm with dividers every 500mm, using 20mm pine boards between 200mm to 300mm wide. This popped up the other day on one of the feeds...

    Best way to keep a partially drunk bottle of wine - a novel approach ?

    Adrian we also suffer from the taxes. Our useless Govt. in their budget just nail 'sin' taxes each year, this year also added to the fuel tax just as Donny Duck did his thing. PnP has always tended to keep the wine prices the same for at least 6 months. I watch their prices carefully and when I...

    Best way to keep a partially drunk bottle of wine - a novel approach ?

    I always cook with wine. Sometimes I will also add it to the food. Adrian, I am a peasant regarding wine, so box wine is fine for me. A 5litre will last 10-15 days. Last price was ZAR189.50 at Pick-n-Pay for their dry white.

    Best way to keep a partially drunk bottle of wine - a novel approach ?

    Just looked at this thread. Rog you are a disgrace to the Woodies, left over wine indeed! Either drink it or cook with it. :) Alternative, there are some very good wines in boxes with taps. Open tap, fill glass, close tap, no air into box. The 5litre box is very economical. :cool: We had a...
