Tactile / Re: That 'big project' I've be...

Last post by James Harrison - September 02, 2024, 05:19:27 PM

So, now I have the fun task of deciding what will be on the 2025 Programme.  Watch this space, I guess.

Maybe pull the bath out and do it right, it still leaks, don't look great and is a basic bodge on top of a bodge on top of bad fitting in the first place. Ditch the shower curtain and install a screen for a drip free shower experience.

Love the rest and I particularly like the fact you took time to line up the tiles on the boxing.

The devil is in the details.

Bit harsh I know, but there you go, all round a grand job.

I don't disagree that there are a few compromises and rough edges and bits that could do with being improved.

But if I were to set that as a target next year, it would feel that the project has stalled. The room is now actually in a usable state and I don't think I want to be taking it back from that anytime soon unless I absolutely have to.

I have a few ideas of what I want to do next year, but no idea yet what form that will take. It will be another part of the house though.

Morozow has added a page for the Steampunk Party in St Petersburg.

Perhaps some enterprising member could create a page for the Lincoln Asylum, which recently appeared in my Google Discover feed.

I could do a very lengthy ramble about my childhood and a basic mamod. Me my dad and contraptions he made at work for the little engine to drive in the shed. Mid 60s early 70s

I seriously doubt you would be interested.

Shame they have wrapped up, not enough LEDs, flashy lights and touchscreens I suppose........ inevitable.

...my flairs/episodes of shakiness are way more obvious when they happen, I'd pretty much recovered from symptoms milder than this before spring

Have you had your thyroid checked? Thyroid trouble is often overlooked in the US and the blood work (TSH & T3 levels) to check it MUST be during the manifesting of symptoms. I cannot stress that enough; if you aren't having a shaking episode when blood is drawn, the test will be useless.

Sleeplessness, racing thoughts and tremors are very common symptoms of hyperthyroidism which can be genetic or come about due to extreme or constant stress.  The thyroid is dismissed by many "Doctors" as "minor", but if a thyroid problem is left untreated it can become very serious, even fatal.

Not trying to freak you out, just the facts as I've personally experienced them.
