• 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!

What I have fixed today

Today I'm "fixing my shed door" (by shoring up the shed front wall)...

Lately the door has been difficult to lock. Only just worked out a couple weeks ago that the front wall was sagging slightly - potentially the underlying stoney-clay subsoil shrinking due to hot dry UK summer - potentially tree root soil movement - potentially rodent burrows under/into the supporting gravel layer under the shed floor...

And the door Mortise lock has potentially been supporting the wall from sagging. It's built well - pretty sturdy DIY job...

Yesterday the key broke in the lock while I was locking it...

Which meant I needed to somehow get the wall back into square. Square-ish, anyway...

Brushed out some gravel and used timber lever and car jack...

Proper floor level re-established - broken key then easy to remove...
