We had to do that with ours. Wouldn't fit with the doors on. That wasn't the tricky part - it was getting it even on Victorian house floors. Only the front adusted so had to use a wooden wedge at the back. But (despite it being the worst fridge/freezer in the world (made by Whirlpool if anyo...

New computer is finally up and running and has just about everything loaded on to it again. It was all fairly painless I'm pleased to say. I even did most of it myself :D. The only thing I don't like about it is the noise it makes. It sounds like an old cold water tank in the loft refilling. Very ...

It's new so take it back and complain. Mine was like that when I had first it, so were several others in the shop,(the bearings dry out in storage-apparently). The technician spent 15 mins and changed the fan (and put the old one back in the box the new one came out of:?)- I now have to listen to se...

Thanks Bret/Algi I'll investigate these options as I gone back to manual backups. I discovered that the Western Digital automatic backup doesn't include .exe files and a few other types so I'm missing some of the data/files I've collected Bargain of the day. My dad had a black "thing" that l...

I have a Lubitel 2 I was given for nothing and I am astounded how sharp it is. The lo-res scans I get done by the lab are every bit as sharp as my Yashicamat 124G... :shock: Check out my flickr and web sites for examples. :D Oops. Sorry. I'm talking cameras. After two weeks of foul lager I...

A Muslim was sitting next to Paddy on a plane. Paddy ordered a whisky. The stewardess asked the Muslim if he'd like a drink. He replied in disgust "I'd rather be raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips" Paddy handed his drink back and said "Me too, I didn't know we had...

But back to knocking Ikea (which is good fun). I'm still doing the bathroom, but bought all the units from a company called Paramount Bathrooms. Absolutely superb quality, low price and... They are already assembled! Woo Hoo! Strongly recommended. And unlike others I am absolutely, completel...

A word of advice for the adventurous. Don't try rebuilding a frozen aperture, the blades have a mind of their own!!:( My 'bargain' CZJ Tessar is currently in bits in a tray, I don't know when it's going back together coz I'm now off out to work!:wink:

I've got a couple of M 80-200mm lenses in the to do pile when I can be bothered. First one was scruffy but perfectly functional, then developed fungus. So I strip it down, clean it out...and struggle to get it back together without loads of dust or smearing inside! Second one was in better co...

You need a tripod and something like an ME Super with the split prism focus screen now. Oh, and a suitable landmark a decent distance away. I use a hillside which I would guess to be about five miles distant and which has clear line of sight from my bedroom window. Set the camera up on the tripod an...
