Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Well hello to anyone who's discovered this new thread .... and welcome!!!

For some time I've noticed things are a bit quiet on a Saturday, especially in the evening. So this will be a social gathering for all forumites and hopefully a place to relax and meet friends. It's also a place where you can talk about whatever's going on for you at the moment, safely, and find support.

If you want to bring something to eat or drink that would be welcome, whatever makes you happy.

Actually that may be a good place to start - jump in anywhere and let us know one thing that makes you happy - currently or over time.

Really looking forward to finding a posse to hang with on a Saturday.

L E T ' S P A R T Y !!!

Hey, hi @Adge, thanks for tagging me. I really wish I could come help you fix the series, or send TAB out to give you a hand lol But We're limited to words here. Have you got a tip shop, recycle shop where you are? Good for building materials. I'm sure you could start a thread with photos and get all tips on this project. Zoe7 healped me do up chest of drawers 🤗 It's been dark here, and rain, forgot you were few hours west lol

@TAB@HopefulWarrior @eth @Judi9877 @Shaz51 @EOR @Darcy @Smc @Determined @Adge

Hi TAB, Yes It is times such as this that we review our resources to see that they will carry us through any predictable but infrequent events. It's things like the hook for the connection of the power line to the house coming adrift. Then Western Power says it no longer complies with regulations and disconnects my power line from the pole. So now to get an electrician to reconnect the house correctly then Western Power to come back and reconnect the house to the pole. Ah well, that's how it works out sometimes.

As it happens, the corrected connection will be in compliance, whereas the old one probably hasn't been 'in compliance' for years. "It is an ill wind that blows nobody any good".

If I can get through all this "in one piece", I'll be satisfied with the process.

For Now

Cheers

HenryX

Sounds odd @HenryX generally everything to the meterbox is their issue . Was here. They tested house before reconnecting tho. Hope it works out.

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

You're right @TAB I might be surprised what I can do - I often am surprised.

YouTube videos on how to Do stuff - yes surprisingly helpful (sometimes).

eg on How to Cook & Eat a Lobster - With detailed demonstration/ instructions.

After watching Lobster Videos (several), I still thought it seemed too hard - left Lobster in Freezer.

Not cooked or eaten yet.

I should have thought it was easy - After watching Lobster preparation Videos.

Don't know why I didn't do it....

Mental blank @Adge lol Learning new tasks holds off dementia. Worth the effort, well, that's what I'm telling myself lol
@TAB I have no idea what a boiler maker really does, accept maybe a cross between a motor mechanic and a plumber... Yes?

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Thank @Former-Member Good to see you.

Not sure where to start.

Volunteer guy who fed & watered my Birds (all 3 Aviaries) - When I was in Hospital, for my 1st Emergency Bowel Surgery (then had 2nd Emergency Surgery).

He ripped up the flooring wire in 3 separate aviaries - With a Shovel, he tore it to shreds.

Then he made a formal Complaint to the RSPCA (proved wrong) - That I was mistreating my Birds, While I was in Hospital (& almost died twice Nurses & Drs said).

RSPCA Inspector came & Inspected - He was Happy & Confident (after Inspection) that I look after my Birds Very Well (Happy & Healthy).

So the Floor wire has remained in Shreds (Ripped-Up), mostly gone - Ever since then (6 & 1/2 years ago).

It's a 3 person Job to Replace that Aviary Flooring Wire -

- 2 people have to lift each Aviary up (one at each end), while the 3rd person Places a Pre-Cut (pre-Measured) Sheet of Wire under each Aviary.

- Then they put each Aviary back down on the Flooring Wire Sheet.

- Then you can attach the wire at the sides (wire it on).

I do not have 3 people, there is just me.....

Plus frames are rusting - not too bad yet.

Aviaries don't come with flooring Wire on them (mostly) - You do need it, it stops Rodents getting in (birds getting out).

Maybe will have to somehow buy whole new Aviaries (someday soon) - Maybe that's the only solution.

Cannot afford new Aviaries right now - Plus it takes 3 people to carry an Aviary into the Backyard (over Fences & Gates etc).
