Maybe time for new house ?

[jonjonck] 26/1/2024 20:39

That is very much on my mind, 2012 I bought it, so old and old technology but still was a very good 'putor. Dell 23inch All in One.
Have looked at new Dell computers but need to do a bit more research and decide if I want and All in One again or desktop with a display , or a laptop.

Gave it a break earlier to cement a bit on the roof and wallpaper the patch where the paper had loosened off with the damp.

How old is the computer, maybe time for a new one

[jonjonck] 26/1/2024 15:10

pulling my hair out here. Found my recovery disks but no success.

[jonjonck] 26/1/2024 12:08

Cannot get it working yet. Seems pretty corrupt and will not let me do very much. Doing a hardware test just now. Cannot find my recovery discs so shall have to down load and make one on this laptop.

[2gekko] 26/1/2024 11:03

Oh I hope you can get your computer sorted, if anyone can you can

I shall mention green coffee beans to A, she's rather impatient though but does love coffee do maybe would do it

[jonjonck] 26/1/2024 08:51

Good Morning.

I have crashed my computer.... trying to fix it and using Mrs J's laptop just now.
You can buy Green unroasted beans from most coffee roasters or online.
Lots of different ways to roast from a frying pan to a saucpan with a lid, using a grill ot an oven. A counter top grill/oven works well. You need 190 to 210 degrees and takes about 8 to 12 minutes to roast. Lots of U-tube videos on home roasting.

My computer has found disc errors and attempting to repair... not hopeful as I think I have corrupted system files or BIOS. We shall see...

Morning

I haven't seen green coffee beans before and that does sound interesting, what is the process A would need to follow

[jonjonck] 25/1/2024 20:57

As she is into her coffee, next thing you can get her doing is roasting her own coffee from green beans. Will take her coffee to an all new level.

[2gekko] 25/1/2024 20:25

The old machine was bean to cup and was over £400 ten years ago but the new one has to take ground coffee and yes she does have a grinder, I have paid for the new machine so got one for £160 which she is getting on alright with praise de lord

[jonjonck] 25/1/2024 19:22

Evening.

Does the A have a coffee grinder? Or is her new machine bean to cup?

[2gekko] 25/1/2024 17:28

Artnoon

I'm sure you will find something to repair, shame it's so far as A loved that coffee machine but is getting on well with the new one, it's a dizzy 12 degrees here but does not feel like

[jonjonck] 25/1/2024 10:19

Good Morning.
Back to having rain again. Mind you it feels warmer today at 5 degrees than yesterday at 9 degrees with sun shining. Very strange.
I wonder what I can repair today... might have to just do some preventative maintenance instead.

[2gekko] 24/1/2024 22:25

I think the storm is over thankfully, I need to put some sealant on my garage roof as it pools in one area but the felt seems ok, I just need it to drain properly

[gateside] 24/1/2024 20:43

No storm damage up here.

[jonjonck] 24/1/2024 19:51

I do not want any rain until the roof seal I put on the garage roof and shed roof has fully cured. Been really busy today doing repairs. All temporary repairs however to keep things going until better weather days are here.

[2gekko] 24/1/2024 19:02

Yes my mind was in top gear, I've done a rain dance today and hoping for another storm so she might be scared and need comforting chuckle

[jonjonck] 24/1/2024 10:43

Looks like the weather will improve and stay dry today so got a few tasks outside I need to get done while it is dry.

[jonjonck] 24/1/2024 09:45

LOL. I bet your mind really was racing. tut tut.

[2gekko] 24/1/2024 08:25

Morning

No damage at Gekko Towers, the A asked me to ensure my phone was by my bed in case she needed me in the night, of course my mind was racing but she meant in case of storm damage sigh

[jonjonck] 24/1/2024 07:05

Good Morning.
Hope the storms last night have not affected anyone. Not nearly so bad for us.

[2gekko] 23/1/2024 09:54

Yes they were Forest Garden, they are ok it was just a couple of supports that looked like they may break in a couple of years due to cracks so I used metal brackets to bridge the cracks. It's only six months ago but they are ok after the recent fluffily named storm

[jonjonck] 23/1/2024 09:25

Good Morning.
Ah, the place that sells waxless candles.

They are £39.50 each delivered for the same panels. Is Forest garden now the only manufacturer of these pressure treated panels - surely not.
Thank you 2G.

[2gekko] 23/1/2024 06:49

Morning

Mine were £42 for six foot panels and supposed to be pressure treated from a company tat rhymes with Twix, I did have to add supports as in a couple of places there were cracks in the frame

[jonjonck] 22/1/2024 22:24

I can get good ones for around £50 a 5ft larch lap panel but hoping I can get good ones for around £30 a panel.
