What you should have done was had some walk on glazing there so as to see the pipes... ? I all seriousness I reckon you're somewhat screwed if there's foil faced pir under there. What would sense through that?

An accurate drawing or photos, or both of the pipe layout is best. Cover meter? I've used one to find RSJs under an existing concrete roof for which there were no structural drawings. ...ground penetrating radar...see @tonyrobinson ? Why not, where the base of the spine lands leave a hole in the screed or glue a base plate down.

Nothing indecent. Just pics of young, ripped, tanned, buff GUYS! Doesn't float my boat...though there was that volleyball scene in Top Gun... ?

Welcome!

I know YOU want me to! All gone, trying to forget them. I'm a ?man anyway. Last eBay lappy I bought I recovered their skiing holiday pics with one choice apres ski pic! Taken on a low res mobile but Google searched the image and it appears "real".

20+ years. Will never be connected to the internet.

Thanks. I know the laptop is that old it won't boot from USB. Would it see the CF card in the BIOS I wonder?

Thinking of splurging £25 on one of these: Yes to go in the very old Dell laptop. Speed is not the issue. It'll be a Win2K install, at a stretch maybe XP though I've always found that less stable. I got to thinking... Is there a way, maybe by means of an interface to fit say an 8GB memory stick in place of a removed 2.5" ide/pata HDD?

Bare in mind I don't know what I'm taking about here... Could you apply for outline planning permission for a knock down & rebuild, then get it valued on the basis the valuation should be higher with pp. Then present that valuation as how you're mitigating risk to the lender. ?

A 16 year old, apprentice monkey with a gas axe could have done a better job fitting our 2G windows here. I think they did these too:

Pot, kettle.

Typo probably. Cambodian! ?

Slightly off track but can you get in roof trays for solar thermal, evacuated tube arrays?

Cheers @PeterW, all up and running:

That hatch for the ST aav came in handy...

Dunno, maybe someone offers a course?

I use this on car door rubbers. I wonder if it would help on window rubbers?

Vaseline the keyholes. See @pocster. ?

This 12GB HDD in the eBay lappy is noisy. Would a 2.5" IDE PATA SSD drop in there OK I wonder? Something like this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KingSpec-PATA-IDE-2-5-2-5-Inches-8GB-8G-MLC-Digital-SSD-Solid-State-Drive-V8O3-/133034413169 Wanting ruggedness, longevity etc.

L to 3 bridged with a spare switch & a tank of hot water!

No harm done. Critical HDD back in its own lappy and booting up fine / back to normal. Result on this newly purchased one too. Same screen above trying to boot from the HDD it came with. Problem with the "modular bay" turned out to be the CD drive. Whether it wasn't sited properly I'll find out shortly after a bit more playing. I did buy it with the rider saying it booted to the screen in the OP so all's good! Now to delve into his JPEGs and deleted stuff! ? Christ...hit the mother load here. Folders such as "berlin", "amsterdam" & "naughty". EDIT: Nothing "naughty". Plenty of ripped male torsos taking selfies in the mirror though. Squaddies possibly. What looks like an Army wedding. WTF couldn't I have bought a fit lesbian's laptop??? I've contacted the seller asking if there's anything on here they want. He's come back and thanked me for informing him but said feel free to wipe clean.

Got half the bricks tonight. 175 bricks in the back of a Golf GTI... My back hurts.

Lidl often do a Baufix Stain Block spray.

With any luck!
