joe90 Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 I have just visited family (covid rules applied) and took the opportunity to visit @pocster and look at his underground lair, (I used to live nearby) wow , I discovered he has the same contempt for health and safety rules as I do!!!, place was a tip (but he knew where everything was!). He is the opposite of me with regard tech, I am a Luddite and hate tech, I prefer KISS (keep it simple stupid), Pocster on the other hand has tech running everything, from the front door lock which he can open with an ap , to flushing the loo (I bet). However as a software nerd I was impressed with the building work he has done (plumbing pipes aside ?) tiling is spot on as is his attention to detail. His site is basically a huge hole in the ground and I take my hat of to him for his perseverance and design. I don’t think he has any idea of a finish date (which he confessed his wife keeps asking him about). He was quite put out that I had not arrived to give him a hand and had the audacity to accuse me of wasting his day (mind, by midday he had not even started work yet ?), I have promised to go back and help him with his hoist (as he admits to not be much of a mechanical engineer) where I am not a software programmer like him. It was great to catch up with him and put a face to a name (he did say I looked nothing like my picture, but nor does he).I am not holding my breath on when he wants me back to help with the hoist (before I am in a wheelchair I hope!.) well done mate. 4 1

ProDave Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 I would like to see this house because from the snippets I see I just do not have an overall feel for what it is and how it fits in, or even any hint of it's size. Did you escape without buying some walk on glazing that rumour has it he might have for sale? 1

Oh he tried soooo hard to sell it too me, but I told him if I go just a foot underground on my plot I will drown ?, didn’t stop him trying tho! 1

ToughButterCup Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 Ermmmmmmm, if his house is underground, why does he want walk-on glazing? 1

Gav_P Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 To be fair... anyone visiting his place needs to get past the obstacle course of dumped building materials and Harris fencing before even getting to the gates! ? 1

Ferdinand Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 Quote Younger than me Some old gits are under 30. Or 74. Quote He does not live there. About time he did. Quote anyway, sting of the dump has no tech, @pocster,s place runs on it, if ever there was an EMP, he would be stuffed, can’t even take a dump ?. Stig of the Dump had a whole quarry full of old televisions. And a Bow and Arrow. Hi Tech Caveman. 2
Pocster Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 Just for the record ANYONE can come and visit. Though I'll add a caveat that certain members would be less welcome than others. I'm sure you lot can work out if you are in the 'like' group or the 'murder' group ??? 1
