SSTEEL Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hi guys, I will be winding things down here starting from tomorrow, this is due to an upcoming move on the 23rd of this month. Not looking forward to it one bit, but needs must.The apartment I work from is over a Century in age, and as such its in need of renovation, this renovation work will last six months or so. During this time, I will still be working, in the same town, but a different address, so please take note, and don't ship anything to my address you currently have on file. Don't worry though, if you do, I have already completed the redirect forms for our local post office just in case.The temporary apartment is much smaller than my current one, so my workload will be reduced so to offer the same level of service and turnaround times.Thanks for your continued support.Micky.!

kernow Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Moving is a pain in the ass. Still 6 months will fly by. Hope it all goes smoothly and that you're back up to full capacity soon. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSTEEL Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I am now in our temporary apartment, and almost completed setting up my workspace, just need a few days, and I will be back up and running, and continuing work. This apartment, whilst smaller than our own place, it was a bit of a mission to shoehorn everything in here, but we made it Just have a couple of shelves to put up, and then pretty much ready. Having said that, I need to put up all our lighting, and asset able furniture etc. Oh boy!Untitled by Micky Aldridge, on FlickrOh and then there's the postal strike, which is still ongoing here, and with over 30 incoming packages, and over 20 waiting to be shipped, its quite an inconvenience right now.

kernow Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 You're getting there mate. It takes a while I know. '20 waiting to be shipped'. Any for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Aha, not yet G I'm afraid.Whilst the wife had me wiring new light fittings today, I thought I would put an old idea I had years ago to some good use, I had an old strip light, and always planned on fitting it to the underside of my work bench as a floor light, never got round to it until now.Untitled by Micky Aldridge, on Flickr Ideal for when parts go ping! Also planning on making a confined area under there to remove crystal AR coatings. Edited November 30, 2015 by SSTEEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 See that white wall in the photo above? I hate it. Tried to put my shelving up today but after a few visits to the local hardware store, getting colbalt drill bits, the wall won, its damn solid stone. Guess I need to now go and hire a decent hammer drill, and invest in some much better quality drill bits.The cobalt bits I purchased melted.! Which of course resulted in a hole in the wall, and no way to drill any further/deeper I hate DIY Bottom drill bit is new, the top one is the melted one.Untitled by Micky Aldridge, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pick_br Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Downsizing to something more manageable? I'm thinking of doing the same, release some equity from the property. Good move, :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Hilti is what you need...everything else is just Kindergarden Sent from my wooden drums via Tupperware I will look that up, have found a local hardware hire place, so will hire a proper hammer drill. Glad we are only in this place for several months, will be glad to get back in out much bigger place once renovations are completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
