      Harry - I've made a start on the "Sub Base Units" which will be used as Storage and as a support for the Baseboards. Just need to find some mojo to get cracking with the baseboards.

       

      David - That's a novel idea, our young Cocker Spaniel will have some fun with that!

      I'm eleven days from qualifying for my bus pass. Where do I fit in with the overall scheme of things?

      To avoid dismay I'm going to contact one of the many ready made baseboard companies around to ask if they can build them.

      Zero Garvitas, good luck with your forthcoming procedure. I've passed two stones previously, the painful bit was leaving the kidney and travelling in the ureter. Passing it from the Bladder was painless. I seem to be having Kidney Stones every 20 years!

    3. Zero Gravitas

      Zero Gravitas

      Thank you, Pannier Tank. The stone was stuck in the ureter and that really hurt. It's currently been pushed back into the kidney and I have a stent in the ureter to keep it there. On Tuesday, it gets blasted with a laser and the bits removed...

      Without a doubt it is the passing of the Stone through the Ureter that is the most painful part, you have my sympathy. I only found out about my latest (3rd) Kidney Stone by chance (I had a CT Scan for another symptom) and was surprised when my Urologist said he was putting me forward to have the stone zapped. Quite a relief to know that it will be a controlled procedure instead of being in Slovakia like last time it happened. Anyway good luck I hope all goes well for you.

  9. What a lovely gesture (picture) on the RMweb Header this morning.

  10. Redundancy confirmed! First time out of work for 46 years.

      Agree with the above wholeheartedly. You have nothing to loose and everything to gain by finding out. Good luck!

      I'm sorry to hear that. Assuming you will be looking, I hope you find something soon.

      Thank you. Yes, with a mortgage of 6 years to run, I will be looking for work, although I fear age maybe against me. I am quite relieved in some respect as work pressure was getting to me, now it will be financial pressure!

      Thank you all for your kind comments. It was a great relief to hear that I was clear; hopefully after a few more tests we will have the high PSA Levels under control. As Tim says, a reminder for over 50's to get checked out.

      It is very nice to receive the support from you all, thank you. Wednesday can't come soon enough. I am at the final stages of completing my outbuilding for Moretonhampstead and now this has misted the future.

    4. Pannier Tank

      Pannier Tank

      After my Hospital appointment I feel a bit happier about things despite some concerns that my Prostate is firmer on one side than the other. I'm having a biopsy done next week so hopefully within a few weeks I should know one way or the other. Not looking forward to the biopsy though!

  22. At the Plasterboard stage with the outbuilding.............not long now before we can start to think about the layout!!

  23. A change in scale from 12" to 1ft down to 4mm to 1ft is getting nearer.

    1. Grafarman

      Grafarman

      Followed by a change down to 2mm to 1ft when you realise you can't fit it all in...!

    2. Pannier Tank

      Pannier Tank

      I hope the layout fits the building when complete, otherwise 2mm to 1ft it will have to be!

    3. Grafarman

      Grafarman

      A move I've never regretted...

  24. A few flakes of snow..........................
