• 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!

    Phone Reception Problems

    As I’ve mentioned elsewhere I’m in hospital occupying the same bed slot as I did 6 months ago. I’ve got an iPhone 7 using Vodafone with lots of data allowance. The problem is that I cannot make or receive phone calls or use my data allowance. I’m faced with using the hospital setup which is not...

    A Bit of a Bummer

    I was taken into hospital over the weekend with a reoccurrence of my old medical problems. I’m being operated on first thing tomorrow morning but think it’s very unlikely that I’ll be home for Christmas Day. Christmas is a bit of a wash out with covid so not too disappointed. Sadly a lot of food...

    Woodworm

    I’ve always thought that woodworm liked cosy and dry places to live. My bird table blew down a few days ago and to my surprise the main supporting post was riddled by the blighters. Next time, a good soaking of Cuprinol is going to be applied Rod

    Building Regs

    The Building Inspector carried out a final check on our extension and failed it in that our existing fire alarms are not mains fed and linked to the ones in the extension. We’ve fitted mains powered ones to the rooms in the extension and one in the garage/workshop. The one in the downstairs...

    I’ve just opened two complaints to PayPal One was the item received was not the one I ordered and the second was another charge for the same item I did not make a few days later. To my amazement they’ve kicked out the unauthorised claim. Any thoughts on what I should do now? We are not...

    Clash of Wings

    I stumbled across this series on UTUBE A history of WWII made up from original footage. The gun camera scenes of the dog fights is horrific to watch when you realise some 20yr old pilot has just his life. It’s an American production in 13 episodes but gives a fairly unbiased account in my...

    VE Day

    Did anybody hold a private street party? I could hear lots of trumpet calls and bagpipes in the distance at 11:00 ish. I’ve been reading a book about the Atlantic War, something that doesn’t get a lot of attention. I’d always thought that a few hundred ships had been sunk but in fact it was...
