    protect and survive

    Until quite recently I thought the Cuban missile crisis was a bit over hyped. Apparently the only reason all hell wasn't unleashed was a Russian submarine officer refused to obey orders. same programme mentioned waddington bombers minutes away from take off.

    protect and survive

    I have just been tidying up "the cupboard under the stairs". Under our downstairs floor is a gap of maybe 24": when we first moved (1978) in, I needed to get under the floor to run/redo various services. I did this via a hole in the "C. U. T. S." Unknown to my young wife, I built a sturdy...

    chalara at Westonbirt.

    I frequently drive past a tree supplier. They call themselves a nursery on the internet, but in reality are a fast turn round warehouse. And often there is a foreign artic unloading, I assume all of their stock comes from abroad. Why the hell we cannot grow our own trees and shrubs is beyond...

    Gas meter box

    My son has recently moved house, the white plastic gas meter box is a wreck. I have tried to find a new one but they seem hard to come by. Are the gas company responsible for these ? i.e. their property, like the meter itself.

    Still in Rehab, but closer to discharge home.

    My father in law had a "bar stool" chair with arms. It also had a low back which was quite useless. He used it in the kitchen but got into the habit of just squatting onto the front seat edge which is an accident waiting to happen. I caution you about getting a chair (or stool) higher than...

    Dovetail Saw Quandry

    Regards eyesight. Mine are not great and as you say teeth are small. I get a fat marker pen and black the old teeth so I can see where I have been. Main issue here is good lighting. I have fitted a couple of these and they have made a significant difference to what I can do...

    Dovetail Saw Quandry

    Holiday to USA, anything worth picking up?

    Whatever you buy will need to go in the hold baggage. Do not lock your bags cos "homeland security" will take a perverse pleasure in opening the bag for a rootle, and it's then down to luck if it gets closed or ransacked at thiefrow DAMHIKT.
