nonnaB 4,909 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Ben No matter how you feel now it can only get better. Youve just had surgery so expect a bit of discomfort but you'll feel great before long and you be able to get back into the swing of things ( and make up for what you've missed .) Glad anyway that you're home so recovery will be double quick. Keep well we are all rooting for you. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,909 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 This morning it was a pleasure to read a lot of comments ( just like the " old "days) But theres a lot of members missing. I enjoyed reading to see what others were doing even if I wasn't interested but it was nice to read of those who I met in January. But I feel that something has changed. I know we're supposed to be reminiscing about Nottingham and quite rightly too but we have become a social outlet too and I for one feel I know a lot of you not even having met you. I feel now that the group has become a photo albumn and although I have enjoyed the photos they are dominating the site. I may be wrong but I feel that that could be the reason why we are losing so many members or should I say why they dont post as often as before. Maybe I'm the only one who feels like this but what do others think? We all have our days mapped out and come online when the opportunity arises and possibly NS isn't the first thing we think about. But members I hope you will all return and bring back the interest and joy we used to have here. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In my experience, all that lying about in hospital is exhausting. They are always at you for something and what with assorted kit 'pinging' away for hours on end it's difficult to properly rest. Take it easy at home and don't rush things. You'll be back on form soon enough.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,740 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Today I will be mostly repairing the hole in the corner of the dining room walls and floor. It's where the old and ugly internal soil pipe ran down through a 14" x 14" total overkill boxing. The boxing was inch and a quarter thick plyboard, nailed onto 4"x2" timber, itself nailed direct to the breeze block with 5" nails. A right PITA to remove and definitely a bit OTT for a 4" soil pipe. I've fitted an external soil pipe and removed the old internal pipe and boxing. Have cut down and blanked off the old internal clay pipe to below floor level. but this has left an exposed damp proof membrane which I'm going to patch with a bit of 'poly film and strong jointing tape, then top off to level with cement. I'm using Bostik Waterproof cement for the whole job. It's not cheap but not taking any chances with the possibility of damp coming up. Next I need to move a couple of central heating pipes which were run down inside the old boxing but about 12" out from the corner. I'll tuck them into about a 2"x1" boxing which will be much less of an intrusion into the dining room. Finally, make good the now exposed bare breeze block, with plasterboard and a bit of Easi-Fill and repaint. All of that 'faff', will create a space to accommodate a sliding door to the kitchen, when it's open. And when the dust settles.. A nice new dining room carpet. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
