The Old Mill Guest Accommodation: Supermarket Home Delivery - A step too far?

The Old Mill Guest Accommodation. Disconnected jottings about life running a busy Guest Accommodation in North East Wales. Saturday, 12 June 2010. Supermarket Home Delivery - A step too far? We're supermarket tarts, no not the lemon ones, we like to shop in different places now and again and are not particularly loyal to one company. You joined the end of a food queue without knowing what you were going to get and. It's almost too good to be true. So how is it possible? So, market stall vendors, low cost...

It's A Stock Item: September 2014
http://itsastockitem.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
It's A Stock Item. Monday, 8 September 2014. Can we make a pig ark from stock items? With two side struts added, the base was carried up to its first home in the lower field. The end pieces each came out of half a sheet of 18mm ply, with a bolt-secured door. The roof struts which, like the corrugated steel, were leftovers from our old postbarn, were friction fitted to the ends. So there we were. I had to buy the plywood and the bolts, but all the other bits came from stock. Posted by Ian Thorpe.

It's A Stock Item: March 2016

It's A Stock Item. Saturday, 26 March 2016. Installing a window, and fixing a loo. Again I took a Land Rover full of tools, in particular saws of all varieties, electric and hand - but the most used star of this show was my Bosch multitool with its small, oscillating blade. This offers such accurate and reliable cutting that most of the window work and the cutting out of a door opening from one stall to the next were achieved without even changing the blade.

The Old Mill Guest Accommodation: April 2012

The Old Mill Guest Accommodation. Disconnected jottings about life running a busy Guest Accommodation in North East Wales. Wednesday, 4 April 2012. Car Horns, what are they good for? What are car horns supposed to be for? Ok, warning people people of your impending arrival. But - if you need to blow your horn for that, you are going too fast. Ban them, simply build cars without them. They're unnecessary. If you agree, toot your support as you go past The Old Mill. Posted by Neil Evans. Links to this post.

It's A Stock Item: House-warming present
http://itsastockitem.blogspot.com/2015/08/house-warming-present.html
It's A Stock Item. Friday, 28 August 2015. The last backbreaking tasks were pointing up all the joints and loading the waste onto the trailer to bring home to contribute to some land-levelling to be done here later this year. Two good days - and the weather helped by being dry but not too hot. Here's to the first BBQ! Posted by Ian Thorpe. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Procrastination is the thief of time.

It's A Stock Item: February 2015
http://itsastockitem.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
It's A Stock Item. Sunday, 1 February 2015. Our most recent trip to elder daughter's in South Wales was partly to help with the transporting to the abattoir of the three pigs which had had a very happy life in the pig ark described in my last post. So the reward for the jobs which were done while I was there was half a pig, neatly butchered, to return to our freezer in North Wales. If you've spotted the rainwater pipe, that was for a different job! It's important with this kind of shelving system to get ...

The Old Mill Guest Accommodation: Lighten up Mr Dickens
http://its-that-time-of-year-again.blogspot.com/2011/01/lighten-up-mr-dickens.html
The Old Mill Guest Accommodation. Disconnected jottings about life running a busy Guest Accommodation in North East Wales. Saturday, 1 January 2011. Lighten up Mr Dickens. Having watched a couple of Dickens' classics on film over the holiday - I'm reminded how unremittingly miserable the existence was of most of his characters. Did David Copperfield ever have any moments of light heartedness - hardly a one. Checked out Oliver Twist, looking for laughs - nothing. Great Expectations? Now that's much better.

It's A Stock Item: June 2015
http://itsastockitem.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
It's A Stock Item. Wednesday, 3 June 2015. After another three days' work in elder daughter's kitchen, I have had to concede that some stock items should just be thrown away - a difficult admission for me to make. So, there's still some boxing in and re-tiling to do. And some rationalisation of my plumbing stock - I'll be throwing away anything that has a used rubber seal in it. Posted by Ian Thorpe.
