I hear what you are saying, and agree - the old jointwork on the frame is impressive. The structure may have been standing 500 years, supporting roof 'tiles' which are 2+" thick cotswold stone. The mortice and tenon joints are still snug, and most are still pinned with 'dowel'. (How did they...

We are staying in a converrted/renovated barn for a few days break. It seems that they straightened the roofline at one time. I was not entirely reassured by the workmanship.... What I was actually wondering though, if this had been made from a single piece of timber, would the grain have...

I really feel for you. Make the most of what you have. Phill

Yeah, wording seems to be everything. We have one (in our favour) that allows (from memory) us " and our assigns to pass and repass on foot, with or without animals animals and or vehicles" The 'repass' always amuses me - it is as if someone in the past tried to argue that the clause applied...

It happens like this....

I feel for you. Make the most of what you can.... When I was young we had a dog that liked swimming. Her last holiday was for her, though by then all she could do was lie in the shallows. We have two elderly dogs - 12 & 13. There will be time enough for tears soon, but until then lots of...

Instead of accessing one page, why not export the bookmarks to a file, and then import them all into Opera, or whatever.... I do not use windows regularly, so you would need someone else here to provide more details on exactly how.....

Long time no windows but..... does a right click of the mouse on the shortcut bring up a menu that includes 'properties' option? If so select that and tell us what it says. Phill

IKNATB would it be possible to have a large slightly flexible vessel between the tap and the pressure washer to act as a 'capacitor' for water, smoothing out the pulses that occur when the washer 'overdraws'? Not sure if such a thing exists.....

I think that the order would be quite important.........

So what does 'memory' really mean - all foams that I have seen expand back to their original shape? But perhaps I need to adjust my expectations..... Damn, that rules out memory foam anyway as SWMBO runs hot anyway.

Thanks JonzJob, that is very interesting, and not something we had actively considered. We try to eat organic/homegrown/unprocessed food, use natural cleaning products, and (maybe as a consequence) seem to be more sensitive to chemicals than most other people, so we are possibly going to react...

Yes, I agree, and this is part of the problem. How to buy an expensive one-off item to suit personal taste?

Thanks for the suggestions..... and keep them coming. I had not realised that many (most) online mattress sellers do trial periods (as long as 365 nights in some cases). That may well help us a lot. In fact, we could free trial mattresses for several years looking at the offerings. I am not...

It is time for us to replace our mattress, but I cannot figure out the practicalities. How does a person choose a mattress? Some of them are downright expensive, and there is so much variation that I find it bewildering..... Add to that that we live in the back-of-beyond and the nearest...

Maybe a stupid idea, but...... why not apply a thin opaque white layer to the inside of the triangular bits. Could look just like the plastic pannel, will not lower the insulationn, and could be completely reversible.....

Very interesting.... thanks for posting that. ((and it was the increasing frequency of the 'music'.... :D ))

The rising pitch of the background music?
