Extraction and destruction

February 24th, 2008

I’ve had a weekend of DIY – it started on Friday night when I discovered that the Big Maplin on Newmarket Road was open until 8pm (gosh, I have an exciting life, don’t I!) and so I bought the bits and pieces for a job I’ve been meaning to do for a while – putting extractor fans in the bathroom and kitchen. I did the kitchen fan on Friday night, and in the process discovered that most of the wiring for the kitchen lights is just held together with insulating tape…

On Saturday I had a tidy-up and a clear-out of unwanted junk, and then did a recce for some wiring work I want to do fairly soon. In the process, I found myself looking at the woodwork in the dinette area, which I’m planning to rebuild into an office and wardrobe area. I ended up ripping out all the unwanted timber, which turned out to be slightly non-trivial. Anyway, it’s done now.

Today I’ve done the wiring for the bathroom extractor, which I’m hoping will reduce the amount of damp and condensation in there.

    you’ve re-ordered the site somehow – my rss feed is picking up your first posts about Antarctica, not the most recent posts!

    sounds like you’re enjoying the DIY – we will come and see it all SOON!

    Hi Ruth,

    Yes, there’s a bug with the most recent version of MySQL that’s causing the problem… sorry!

    Do drop me a line and book a weekend visit…

    Mike
