• 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!

    Banking Apps

    I must admit that I find banking apps very useful especially in the absence of any bank branches. How ever, and sorry about the long post: Last night I thought I would quickly pay my barclaycard bill in full to avoid interest, as I spent a lot last month. Log onto the app and go to Barclaycards...

    Old farts driving licence renewal

    Received the renewal notice from the DVLA as I am now over 70 and the pervious 3 year one is about to expire. I thought I would apply online rather than fill in the paper form and spent nearly £1.00 on a stamp. How hard can it be as they have all my details and photo. Found the web site and...

    Old chair refurbishment

    During a visit to the local tip I made the mistake of taking my wife. She saw, and I had to buy this old chair. She saw a similar chair on the TV last night and liked it. She wants me to sand it down and put polish on it. Apart from the difficulty in sanding properly I do not really want to...

    Gravel Drive and leaves?

    I have to replace a large gently sloping tarmacked parking area in front of the house. It has had two trenches dug through it for water and drains and was looking a bit tired anyway. Also the noise from the gravel from visitors should alert the dogs. Due to the cost of tarmc I am thinking of...

    Spray on roof insulation

    I have been approached about getting a quote for spray on roof insulation. My wife answered the phone and passed the phone to me after telling him we may be interested! The first hurdle was they would not make an appointment if my wife was not present, as she is often out and probably would not...

    A close friend who is a health and safety consultant, with all the qualifications, in construction and manufacturing fell off a small step ladder while cutting his hedge. Despite having a long pole hedge cutter he leaned over the hedge from inside to cut the outside. He landed on the grass and...

    Jet JWBS18 bandsaw tyres

    I started the bandsaw for a small job and it made a banging/clattering noise with a very wobbly blade. Stopped it and had a look, the bottom tyre had partially broken off with most still intact on the wheel. I had tensioned it prior to use adjusted the guides and had spun the wheels manually to...

    Osmo, Google and Facebook Agghhhhh

    I have just used Osmo oil on my floor, looks excellent, and wanted some further advice not covered by the FAQs. Osmo do not have a helpline/email enquiry facility but do have a user community. Thought I would try that. While creating an account so I can post it told me I would be sharing my...

Some of them also have other markings one is the AF size in 1/100s inch and the other is UH which I have never heard of and cannot find info on. I am hoping that someone on here can enlighten me.
