• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    Thats not taking anything away from anyone who has/will decide to buy a wrist/BP watch. I'm always sceptical of these new inventions anyway, sorry.

    You definitely did make the right decision then Rob... BP cuff, use it, put it away, and you know it works. BP cuff on your wrist that you're not sure if/how it fully works and probably uncomfortable and owt if it actually does work. I'd take one Rolex anyway and another free wrist...

    Well, that day didn't go to plan.

    Glad to hear you're out of your boot Mike and walking on own 2 feet 😀. Lovely that.

    If you get raw/organic honey then (again, IMO and not wanting to argue it out with anyone) we're getting the extra benefit of another antibacterial with countless benefits into the system. I couldn't afford the stuff from RawHoneyShop all the time so ended up settling on some organic Zambian...

    NB. I used Braggs too but whatever is with the mother and affordable, gets put in my basket.

    Raw apple cider vinegar with the mother is, the bees knees. Amazing stuff and well shared. AFAIK it has so many many benefits... Defo not snake oil. Thing with health is, there isn't a 'magic bullet' that fixes everything. One can't (and not referring to anyone or anything said on this here...

    Upgrading my wearing out shed - in stages on a budget

    I reckon I have whacked enough rocks to make a decent amount of concrete for some thin footings. So dug another bit out on the side (where I'm trying to stop the neighbours fridge from growing into my garden) for ant extra concrete. That'll have to have a few bricks set in as I bring it to...

    Upgrading my wearing out shed - in stages on a budget

    Yes. I realised that after it started getting hot and downloading the pdf. I think I may well have saved it. Good shout sir.

    Upgrading my wearing out shed - in stages on a budget

    Gave me an excuse to go read the instructions after 2 years of ownership. Its very powerful but I wonder if I'm using it beyond its capabilities!!

    One other thing about cholesterol folks (without causing sharpening levels of difference of opinion). Adding (lots of raw, organic, cold pressed, single origin... just my opinion) olive oil in the diet isn't a bad thing. Check out the info online, theres loads of it but generally speaking it'll...

    Upgrading my wearing out shed - in stages on a budget

    Recycling some concrete to make the footings for them bricks at the front of the shed. After 2 bucket loads (thats bucket one) I decided to have a rest and read the instructions for the SDS Plus drill in chisel mode. Its getting very hot!! It was only after bucket 1 that I remembered my...

    @Woodbloke I really like your doctor 😆. After a heart condition (infection of the outer 2 layers which landed me on the coronary care unit) my consultant cardiologist started me on a heart med. Ramipril which AFAIR he'd put me on for heart failure (sounds about right). I refused to start me...

    So you're high BP was actually not taking in enough salt. Interesting that one. Sounds like maybe she blagged it but definitely low salt can cause the dizziness. I'll bet the 'high BP ' wasn't actually that high and I'll also wager that you don't have the regular hardening of the arteries...

    Blood pressure

    @Accipiter good point there sir. I'm assuming here (it happens, not as often) you had been or are a good drinker (pf good old water) and never been one for loading everything with salt. Thing with electrolytes (salt, potassium, magnesium etc) is that not only do they help the retention of each...

    Haha. Sorry. Wouldn't want it becoming a sharpening thread would we.

    Thanks Andy. I generally aim for 15 minute working time. 45 minutes break. Maybe why my wife hates my workload and keeps adding extra stuff as she goes. I really ought to move to Italy.

    Gone... Suffice to say. We all need to reduce our salt intake, take brisk walks regularly, eat healthy and get a watch 😁 IMO. Taken a screenshot (of the deletion) if someone wants it. Well done Lons for using that watch to get health sorted.

    Upgrading my wearing out shed - in stages on a budget

    Latest pic as it is now. Thankfully when lifting these 41kg slabs I've just about managed to 'not cripple' my back. I'll keep trying to be equally as carefully. Also, that sand I'm being sure to recycle it and thats what the blue swimming pool (and white builders sack behind it) is for. Gonna...
