The ultimate forum backup has been made
I've been planning a shed that is also an office for about 12 months - but 9 days ago my neigbour helped me set up the wooden shuttering so that this weekend just gone, we could pour a concrete base for it. Now - you can't just set to work with the mixer and get on with it can you...oh no....you have to do two things 1. Bury stuff 2. Write things in the concrete So -as these pictures will show - a backup of the forum was taken - burnt to DVD - tucked away in a case, in a bag, and burried under the concrete just about where the door of the shed will be - and the UMSF logo badly drawn on top of the spot. Also, In the far corner of the concrete where it will stick out a bit from the shed base, I also wrote DHLLL and the logo - that's Me, Helen, Lee (the neigbour) Lorren (his little girl who helped...a bit...she's on the 'pluto is a planet' side of the fence) and Lorraine, (Mrs the neigbour). i.e. everyone who was involved in sorting out the foundations for UMSF HQ I'm still finding concrete in my hair!! Shed will go up in the next couple of weeks, but it will probably be after I get back from Valencia before I can sort out the inside of the shed and fit it out with a proper floor, walls and office 'stuff' Anyway - the DVD should be fairly safe for a few years under 4 inches of concrete!
