RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted September 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19, 2019 Currently sat in the kitchen with muggertea No2 having completed most of the tasks I’d listed earlier; new light bulb in kitchen fitted - check change water jug filter - check clean dishwasher filter - check clean washing machine filter - check I’ve also cleaned out the washing machine dispenser and door seal power up and test new cellar sockets - check I just need to fit the wall brackets for the shelving and paint the underneath of the stairs. I think it would be a good idea to drill before I paint. 10 2 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted September 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19, 2019 Muggertea being consumed. Ironing has been completed with several halts to help the builder. My main rask was holding ends of tape measures while he marked out. He's noe digging foundation trenches. He's finding it gatd work as he has hit buried reinforced concrete beams. We can only presume that there may have been some sort of agricultural building there before the house was built. Jamie 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Popular Post PhilJ W Posted September 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2019 This little snippet was on another forum. During WW2 a German minelayer used to enter the Thames Estuary and lay mines every Monday, Wednesday and Friday night. The British minesweepers went out the following Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights to sweep them up. One of the minesweeper commanders noted that the mines were always laid in the same places. So one Tuesday they decided to leave the mines in place and just issue a warning. The following night the German minelayer ventured out and ran smack into one of its own mines. The survivors including the captain were rescued by the Royal Navy, the German captain complaining bitterly about the minesweepers not doing their duty. 1 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted September 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19, 2019 Evening all from Estuary-Land. I carry an organ donor card and if they find anything that isn't completely knackered worn out they're welcome to it. Made another try at sorting out the modelling room this afternoon, despite my efforts it still looks just the same. Thats it for now, be back later. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerburnie Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Evening all, visitor has departed and a lot of the "G" word has been partaken, two of the disease ridden apple trees have been felled and the wood is now on the village bonfire wood heap, one more to go, then the joy of trying to get the roots out and putting a wildlife pond in instead. A small amount of muddling took place, but I have run out of grass, so now waiting for the postie to deliver. I keep bidding for a small video camera on Ebay and keep getting out bid, apparently I'm a tight old git and should bid more, now where's the fun in that? 10 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyram Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Good evening fellow ER’s and another round of good wishes are offered. Today has has been a very hectic day. After taking Amber to school, I had to drop Sarah into Derby City Centre en-route to Matlock Bath. Unfortunately my route out was very busy due to an accident that closed one of the key roads from the city whilst emergency service dealt with an overturned vehicle. Fortunately it sounds like no one was seriously injured. The delays resulted in me arriving at just about opening time and I was still setting up as the first customer walked in. Thankfully he was not put off by my hectic moving of display baskets and signs. I was so glad about that considering the bags full of stuff he departed with. This is a gentleman who first appeared on a Monday morning a few weeks ago, ignoring the closed sign on the door and walking in as I was busy restocking the shelves after a weekend show. He spent well then and has become a good customer, I am so glad I did not turn him away. The late start meant that I never felt like I truly caught up all day. The marking was heavy going too with less achieved than I would like. In the evening there was a meeting at the local community centre to attend. Considering I have ended up as chair of the committee, I could not back out. The centre is due to open soon and is a nice building. The main hall is a decent size - maybe even big enough for a small model event in years to come. That one can wait for now though. Best wishes Andy 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted September 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19, 2019 Good evening everyone Once the sun came out this morning the rest of the day’s weather has been glorious, wall to wall sunshine with very little wind, but I didn’t see much of it this morning. However, having spent the morning in the cellar, I got plenty done, everything I’d planned to do has been completed. After dinner I even found time to get to the big orange DIY shed and buy myself a new sheet sander. The one I already have, is one I inherited from my grandad, just after he died just over 34 years ago, so I’ve had my (well his actually) money’s worth so to speak. Whilst I was there I also bought a roll cork underlay, this is 2mm thick, 1m wide and 10m long (10 sq m). The leftover bits and off cuts may well find another use! In the clearance section were a number of off cuts of 2” x 3” timber, I bought 4 pieces, each one over 4’ long and got the lot for £1.00! These will eventually form the frame for a large pull out drawer that will fit under the cellar stairs. This evening I once again went to Salford Quays for a swim, the water temperature, although still cool, felt a little warmer than last week, but it’s still just hovering around 17C. But with little or no wind the water was once agin quite calm. I managed to sort out my goggles, by applying some anti mist solution and so I was able to see where I was going tonight. Tonight I managed a mile in 33 minutes, but it’s now starting to get dark as I get out of the water and I suspect that the season will draw to a close in the next few weeks or so. I was late getting into the water tonight due to a very heavy pedestrian presence around Old Trafford. However, once home and my bag had been unpacked, I poured myself a bottle of Doombar. Goodnight all 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted September 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19, 2019 I forgot to mention, whilst driving past Old Trafford, I was driving through a pelican crossing (I had right of way) when a bloke wandered out into the road whilst gazing longingly into his LIFESUPPORT SYSTEM mobile phone and completely oblivious to the fact I was there and he shouldn’t have been! Until, that is I WOKE HIM UP alerted him with a blast of the horn, he didn’t half jump! 3 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Cleared out a lot of old/broken/no longer used stuff today and took it to the local "garbage transfer station" (i.e. dump). It's a while since we'd been there, and the place was definitely showing signs of the rapidly growing population in the area. Stuff is dumped in a huge shed, then big front-end loaders put it into a compactor, and the compacted bales are trucked away to a landfill site. The piles inside the shed are continually being tidied up by being pushed back and piled up by these loaders. We had to wait much longer in the lineup to unload than we've ever had to before - on a Thursday afternoon! And the garbage piles were spilling out of the shed despite the efforts of loaders, which I've never seen before. More people, more garbage. Then we went to the blue and yellow Swedish store to buy some new stuff, though not nearly as much as we'd thrown out. Reminded me of one of George Carlin's monologues: https://youtu.be/MvgN5gCuLac 1 1 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
