Hi, 

I'm all new here, dragged in by ProDave from another forum,

I'm an electrician currently residing in the NW of England,

But, circumstances are forcing a move, as its not looking practical (read affordable) to outright purchase the type/size of house SWMBO would like it may well be a self build, or quite a large extension type job on whatever we purchase,

So here I am,

Prepare for some inane beginner questions,

Welcome. You can never have too many sparkies  

Welcome aboard the fun bus.......all questions and any input are much appreciated because you bet your bottom dollar, someone would be wanting to ask the question you have. Oh by the way, what sort of forum did ProDave drag you from?

 

PW.

I keep telling you Steptoe, take the easy way out and buy my house up here in the Highlands.

 

If you haven't already noticed, @OnOff is also here, pulling his house to bits and rebuilding it. slowly.


 

Welcome aboard

Well,

Things in order,

I can NOT afford your house in the highlands, I'd love to move there, but, I don't have another saleable kidney, and I quite like not getting divorced,,,

 

I did notice OnOff, I pulled present house apart 9years ago when we moved in, still putting bits back together, but that has hastened now due to the potential move.

 

@Redoctober PD met me on a private type adult forum

He thought it was about time I grew up and became a responsible adult,,,,,,

Welcome, looks like you'll fit in fine 

Hello you! Yep I've been here a while now (and eBuild before) all down to PD!  (He's on a MASSIVE commission btw .

 

As for inane building questions you've a long way to go to catch me up I reckon!

 

Collective knowledge on here is great. A bit gutting when you realise you could have done such and such building job so much better though!

 

It's not all the Grand Designs brigade at all they'll help all sorts.

 

A few  Pi & Linux fans about. There's some really clever PLUMBERS here too and a blinding roofer called ProDave!

Without pictures this thread is meaningless.

That depends whether they are answering questions or sending invoices  .

I think I might need to start moderating this thread

As long as "moderating" is not some sort of codeword you use on your, erm, private forum.

I'm keeping schtum.

 

Couldn't find a suitably unsuitable "gagging for it" Garfield cartoon featuring a gagged Garfield as a double entendre.

Safe word? 

you got it, 

its mainly mods here and a new friend so the convo is going on as it would on site, Fine by me, BUT this is a public section and anyone can read this so lets not go TOO far, 

 

seriously its fine so far in my books but i fear this might have become a slippery slope

Steptoe will be getting feelings of deja vu on here wondering if in fact he has left TEF. Seriously, it's got a LONG way to go here, the recent body piercing thread over there was quite something!

I have it on good authority the only reason Steptoe is thinking of moving, is his patio is "full"
 

have you considered keeping pigs?

Aka the Mandy Jordache of TEF!  

To be fair this is not a topic which will be referenced as part of core content, and I don't think anyone would start posting inappropriate construction related keywords to bring in visitors.

No, but it might get browsed over by an innocent bystander just seeing how other "introducing yourself" posts went down.

 

nothing was even close to being a problem yet.........but iv been in whats app conversations like this before and were very close to the Porn section.
