Now you e-mail address is out in the open (and it is unlikely it was something that happened only a few days ago), lots of spammers will start to get hold of it so you will get more and more spam, not only supposedly for banks, but also for medical supplies, gambling, stocks and shares, etc. You...

Install it by downloading rather than installing off the web and then burn a copy of the downloaded install program to a CD together with a copy of your licence key as your backup. You can download a demo version anyway which I suspect will convert to a full version by inputting the licence...

You should be able to download the whole web site to your hard disk using software such as the free HTTrack http://www.httrack.com/ Archived copies of older versions of your web site are available here http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://hom ... t/john.jt/

An update for those living in France. I've just received a new (first edition) printed mail-order catalogue from Metiers et passions which has been formed by the merger of a couple of companies. Much more "Axminster-like" in breadth of tools and materials on offer than any French catalogues...

Yet another for 1 April here!!

Is your blade the right way up?

The same vac is on sale here in France where mains circuits are 16A. The tool socket rating is 2200W. That is probably the reason for the reference to 2200W on the Lidl site.

Is that timber treated? It doesn't look as though it is tanalised nor does it look as though you've given in any "creosote". I'd get as much rot-proofing treatment soaked into it as you can if you've got a few days waiting for the cladding - despite the other precautions.

You'll regret it! Those timbers need to be higher off the ground (on lintels or bricks!!), with the possibility of water running past them in all directions as well being protected from ground water by a damp-proof layer of some sort. Given the higher ground around, water will run down...

According to the description of the Bosch ADV 82 Thicknessing Attachment on the Axminster web site: "The planer is mounted on top of the attachment as shown in the picture for thicknessing and upside down in the attachment when surface planing. A parallel and angle guide can be fitted to the...

I wasn't suggesting they had direct replacements but possible designs that might satisfy your requirements. It possibly isn't that clear from the illustrations on the website, but if you go to the Kenngott site and select Wooden stairs you get several illustrations. Hover over the KENNGOTT...

A couple of web sites that may give you some ideas of legal stair designs in France http://www.escaland.com/ http://www.kenngott.de/english/2stairs/index.html - they have stairs wall-supported on one side only. As far as I am aware, there is no regulation concerning the need for risers to stop...
