"Live long and prosper" Mike.... Sam.

Thanks from me too. S.

Yeas, where please Raymond? As an ex-Norn Iron refugee, I am intrigued. Sam

No worries Rob. I was indulging my love of 'pulling your leg' by mock criticism. I knew you would be up for it and, although I've never met Roger in person, I have nattered to him by PM and I reckoned he could take 'a bit of bant'. I hasten to add that I expect to be 'slagged off' in exactly...

This...from the man - with a fair bit of woodworking behind him - who advocates loose, several kilogram weights, on an unstable medium, poised directly above three, to four, fast-moving 'womeras' powered by a multihorsepower motor? Give us all a break from the provocative, self-agrandising...

"Ay thenk ya"...one tries to please... 8) Sam

And you remove the weights.....SPROING!!! (Thank you, Mike and Dana ) ....the wood bends up again? Concave up, weighted 'flat'(???) seems like being perverse for the sake of swiming against the tide. P!$$ poor publicity ( or is it notoriety?) attempt. Sam, who can't wait until a weight...

Tssk, tssk, tssk.... :roll: Sam

Lucky you never encountered the Psychology lecturers who got lumped into the 'Life Sciences' faculty alongside us normal (! yeah, right..) biologists and ecologists. Never seen such a collection of lunar-influenced individuals outside of a specicialist containment ward... Sam Edit: Sorry Mods...

"Spelt" is bread, "spelled" is past tense. :-" Then there's "dealt" as opposed to "dealed".... :? Sam, having stirred...or is it "stirt"....

I'm staying upwind of you mate... Sam

Kerfs, not single kerf surely? Sam

Water, 1.0ml at 4°C, 1.09ml at -2°C. Get enough cells full of water, and the cumulative effect will be much greater than 9%, hence fracturing. Sam

Withdrawn, superceded by more informed comment. Sam

W2S got it spot on re propane heater/ condensing on cold spots, but you also need circulation. I recently installed a PIV system and banished previously sodden (with condensate) surfaces. I suggest, ventilation and a dryer heat source. You can pick up oil- filled rads second hand and also small...

Yes, not all that was insulated I hasten to add, but the extra room to stack timber as it was processed, line up long stuff etc is sorely missed. Once I draught-proof the garage, I am highly motivated to extend its pitched roof outward into the driveway to form a carport/ working area. Might be...

Enjoy it Mark. I moved house and lost 35' x 10' of an insulated workshop and gained a 16' x 8' draughty garage....just pure jealousy on my part! :D Sam

" Bishoping dovetails"??? Now, that sounds right mucky!! Sam

:D I assure you D_W, that was - by far - not the only piece of flummery we encountered from the Indian populace. I quite concur with you. Sam

Coming back from Agra to Delhi at midnight, motorway gantry sign said: 39°C, 100% humidity... Daytime temps were 48°C or so and in the monsoon, we had small (1m across) clouds drift in through the open doorway of the hill station school I was working with. You wouldn't believe it unless you...
