    Mens Sheds

    They call it health by stealth. Invite a man to talk about his mental problems and he walks away, invite him into a room to fix a lawnmower with a group of strangers and two hours later they will all know about each other, their wife’s names and grandchildren’s achievements. You might even have...

    Because Mouse knows - he was a Trustee of UKMSA, saw it, heard it, felt it, left.

    Email account has been hacked.

    Sounds like you need to change your password on all those sites then. Using the same password is dangerous, but then having different passwords for every site is impossible to manage. What I do is make each password site specific. For example Password1234@UKW for here, Password1234@BBC for BBC...

    Email account has been hacked.

    If your email has been “hacked” that means someone else is using it, that is they are logging in as you to send emails, place orders and generally do things in your name. If you can log in change your password to be sure. I suspect you have not been hacked but somehow found your way onto a spam...

    Speed Awareness Course

    Shortly after passing her driving test my daughter had to attend one of those. Upon her return I asked if she had learnt anything. “Yes”, she replied, “everybody speeds, young, old, male and female”.

    Mens Sheds

    Men’s Sheds are entirely owned and managed by volunteers. They receive no funding from the UKMSA or the government. Some have been able to raise small grants from local councils, but most rely upon member subscriptions and donations. Very few, perhaps none, have any paid employees. The average...

    Mens Sheds

    Men’s Sheds are all different, they are independently owned and managed. While the Men’s Shed brand is often used, that brand is not actually owned by anyone. The UK Men’s Shed Association (UKMSA) is a membership club, they do not own, operate or manage any sheds at all. As a consequence your...

    Portable gas fires and bottled gas.

    Facebook marketplace, Nextdoor and Freecycle are good sources too. I managed to acquire 10 15Kg and 8 7Kg bottles last year. One old lady had 4 in her garden one of which was full and another half full - she had no idea but I insisted on paying her the full price for the gas and gave her £75...

    Hello, my old shed fell down

    I did treat the first 11 rows of timbers before construction, and washed large quantities of the wood preservative stuff down the corner joints and all around the door and window frames. You can see the slight discolouration to the bottom half of the build in my last photo above. I will add...

    Hello, my old shed fell down

    I wish I had watched this before my build, I'm not bad at DIY and got it up but some logs were a challenge. The use of clamps as leverage would have made life easier. Secondly do keep it square, keep checking that. Mine moved as I went up. When I went to fix the first roof boards I realised it...
