Bye bye tanks, hello more flooring

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

Yes the tanks finally went to the tip this morning along with a battery which has been sitting out the front for about 4 months now (oops).. Only managed to get the three metal ones in the van yesterday but the plastic tank and the hedge trimmings will go down during the week for sure. [...]

Tanks, BBQ’s and Bubbles in your PSU’s

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Nothing from Jasper in the morning so we head out get some bits and bobs, ended up doing some shopping Thursday and forgot some stuff and after a damn good Chinese yesterday didn’t feel like going out instead managed to get so far with some bits and pieces in the office. Anyway Jasper and P [...]

Going then NOT going

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Ok so got the call this morning that I am going offshore for a bit.. Got to be there at 3pm Sunday for a couple of weeks at least. Which sucks a bit as I have a booster injection on Tuesday (opps) anyway get in an argument with Angel as she wants to know when [...]

MOT doom

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Ok not that bad to be truthful Van needed a new tyre and had a note about chip in the windscreen… Cool.. Had a coffee in town wandered around a bit.. Then picked up the van before doing some bits and bobs around the place. Popped round to see Jasper and P and then ended [...]

Rock Banned!!

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Well the van is booked in for the MOT tomorrow, fingers crossed there are no major problems with it :-p Been playing around a lot with Linux again and starting to get very annoyed with Asterisk and how much of a pain it is to setup. I did try Trixbox but have given that up [...]

Am I going back?

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Seems likely I may be making a return trip to the realms of offshore shortly.. Although to be truthful I’m finding the thought a little disconcerting. Did some more work on the floor to the loft today and managed to get about two thirds of the way there before I had to come down and [...]

Half way point (cheers Jasper)!

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Jasper popped round and with his help the tanks came down and he even managed to clear away the old header tank setup that had been knocked up making the floor even bigger up there! Once he had gone I started laying down more flooring, until the jigsaw ran out of steam at any rate, [...]

The floor starts to take shape

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

So anyway after F1 today (FIA stands for Ferradi INstantly Apprioved – As in they can’t do anything wrong) it was down Screwfix and then off to drop off a lead. Then once back I started placing some flooring down and started to lose heart as everything is in the damn way.. I will ask [...]

Why halogen lights should be banned

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

Got the flooring then watched Formula One Qualifying and charged the drill and jigsaw before moving some of the stuff around in the loft, decided I’m going to take my time on this and do it right rather than just rush through it all making a mess (my normal way). I have four tanks to [...]

Hard drive? What hard drive?

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

Waited in for my delivery and it turned up just as I was on the phone, sods law that, anyway after getting the Hard drive I was waiting for I popped over the road to fit it.. Only they had a huge one already in the machine but it was errr not being used at [...]
