House in turmoil
« on: April 12, 2016, 08:55:49 AM »
My wife and I have decided to have timber floors laid throughout our house, the laying commences on Monday 18th. In the mean time we have to clear the house of all furnishings so massive disruptions have begun. My model/computer room will be the last room to be done so I will be off air for several days, I will let everyone know when my computer will be unplugged and hopefully when it will be up running again.

Thanks for the heads-up Des.  The house will be a mess for a bit, but I'm sure you
will be pleased with the result. Are you installing a light or dark wood?  The
only other question is will it affect the goings on with the Site and forum?

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Thanks Ernie, the wood colour is a mid tone, it is called 'Australian Lustre' which is just a product name.

Unplugging my computer will have no effect on the forum or my website, just means I will be off air for a few days. I will still be able to check in to see if there are any new members awaiting approval by using my mobile phone.

If there are any issues with the forum during my down time I will get to it as soon as I am back on line, but I can't foresee any problems.

Best of luck and I'm sure you'll be thrilled when the work is all done. Wood floors just seem to exude warmth and hominess.

Have the installers put in some prop designs in your work room floor.

Not prop designs on the floor but I have been thinking of a real WW1 propeller to hang on the wall, pretty pricey though.

Good to hear you are about to banish the dreaded carpet monster for good...though with it gone and winter coming I hope you have a pair of comfy slippers to keep the toes toasty!
Woof!

Hello ladies and gentlemen,
Sure I promise too.  ;)
It will be more confortable. Personnally, I like walking barefoot on timber flood. It's some oak in my bedroom.
Best regards.
