I do not know if you can do this on a PC but on a mac open a doc in word, insert a text box then insert an image inside that. Then insert another image inside another text box and place one on top of the other, removing all backgrounds borders etc. Then take a partial screen grab (on the mac...

Roy, if you are able to fit them external shutters can have a considerable benefit on heat loss Have a read of this thread. post228560.html#p228560 Andy

this is how I store mine. The fresh stuff:- Only the ends are keyed and lean towards the middle of the row. The dry stuff is under cover:- Andy

Roger, can you catch one and gives a better look? They could be Mayflies. With all this warm weather I so no reason why they should not be a week or so early Andy

You've never been shopping in France then? Hardly surprising that they are still used EVERYWHERE over here as banks here charge for a debit card, about €30 per year IIRK. So I save them the costs of processing cheques, AND I get charged. UK Banking, you do not know how well off you are. Andy...

Roy, you can cut plastic pipe with piece of string see here http://www.5min.com/Video/How-to-Cut-Pl ... -142811673 Andy

Great work, and you put me to shame by making them yourself as I have just splashed out a small fortune on a tilt and turn window for the workshop. I totally agree about the advantages listed for inward opening windows, especially cleaning and painting, but the fact that there is no provision...

Something that has always worked for me are baby monitors. The type where you plug in a transmitter in the baby's room and have a receiver, also plugged in, in the workshop. I could then hear the kids, the doorbell, the telephone and even the radio. The transmitter need not be plugged in close...

I'm on a sabbatical as I am far too young to retire. The missus is keeping me in the luxury I deserve at the moment. Moved here in Sept 2007. No regrets although as mentioned tools etc very expensive. priority a droit I can cope with but when the don't stop on a stop line I get really scared...

We're only 15 mins from the ferry on the east or the River Orne. With young children and family close at hand moving anywhere in france was a no brainer. Andy

John, thanks for that. I've bookmarked the site for future reference. Comparing UK with france is like comparing USA with the UK. I'd like to put a flush fitting floor socket in my workshop cheapest I've found over here €30 in the uk less than 14 gbp Cheers Andy

John, that sounds interesting. I was able to register without any issues using France and french post code. I'd be interested to know how you get on with regards to their delivery prices etc. Andy

My only complaint - typical of documentaries of this type is that a potential 30 min program is reduced to about 20 mins by going over what was seen last time, what we will see this time and what is coming up next time. I enjoyed series one too and agree that MP is a good presenter. He did a...

Eric, not answering your question on rust proofing but there are other designs of corner WCs. I will bring one of these over here when we redo our shower room http://www.bathstore.com/_application/b ... .html?pg=0 Andy

If it aint broke dont fix it. I'll steer well clear until, like last tim, I am forced too upgrade. As I don't use half the features of snow leopard I cannot imagine Lion will give me anything that I actually need Andy

It just so happens that I have a copy of the Celotex Handy Guide but having read it 3 times now I am still not sure of the correct installation guidelines. You can download the guide from here http://www.celotex.co.uk/Literature/Fur ... ndy-Guides Hope it helps Andy

Around here not even the principle road into the village gets completely gritted. The village council sends out 2 blokes in a van and they shovel grit onto the road but only the bends and junctions , the straight bits are left alone. Seems to work through as there were no accidents that I could...

Bob, the search facility will be coming back see the second page of this thread forum-maintenance-tonight-t46561-15.html and Charley's reply to my question Andy

Nigel, thanks - your explanation is indeed understandable. This has been my first foray into the world of the moving image and I guess I was naive in the extreme to think that just because I had a webcam and the ability to make movies that recording one for use in a different bit of kit (the...

Roger, sorry I meant visually it looks the same, as for the size - a tiny 6mb video is now nearly 20mb in MJPEG. I don't actually have the frame, it is a gift for my father which I have had delivered to my brother who will load the video before he gives it to him. It is a shame that the...
