• 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!

New garage shop

It's amazing what a handful of people can achieve with man-power alone. I've seen a double decker bus pushed out of deep sand in Namibia by a dozen passengers......so I'm not surprised to see a lump of cast iron get pushed up a ramp.
Someone needs to explain that capability to the incompetent muppets who failed to manhandle my Hammer C3-3, removed the sliding table thus rendering it unusable, unsaleable and, in its current location unfixable. This is likely to get legal.

Great space you have there, Gary
 
Well, we made it to our new home, but unfortunately our belongings are held up until Friday. We are busy, however, changing banks, changing locks, registering for this and that service, and exploring the changes in the town that have occurred over the 35 years since we lived here last.

We are relieved that we actually like the house as much as we hoped we would. And the neighborhood is even nicer that we expected. Here is a sneak peek. A typical-for-the-neighborhood midcentury ranch. Built in 1963. Brick veneer and vinyl siding. I wish a previous owner had not painted the brick but so it goes.

And a view from the deck in the back. The Japanese shed will go back there somewhere.

Nice bungalow and what looks a lovely plot. “Changing banks” intrigues me. I have to guess that banks are not national then?

Some banks are national, yes, but there are many local and regional banks. We actually use a credit union, a type of bank that is owned by its members. Those are mostly local.
 
That’s quite a trip Gary, I did one days worth yesterday driving back to Lancaster PA from Boston, certainly don’t envy you 6 days of it. We’ve done it a few times now and I must say it’s getting easier but still I think I’d take a day of in the middle.
Best of luck and watch out behind for the crazies who weave in and out well over the speed limit, had one yesterday who missed the front corner of our car by less than 2 feet, we were in the middle lane and he was going from 3 to 1, noticeably a lot more of them near the big Cities, DC is the worst.

Edit missed a page, glad it worked out well.
Also glad you like the new place, that back view is stunning.

Very nice home Gary!

LOL....some are but there are small banks all over the place. It's how a lot of scams continue from small bank to small bank. Remind me to tell you about the day they introduced machine readable paying in slips.
