Hello Robert and welcome to this wonderful forum.

Apart from the house, are you into any workshop or modelling activities?

Any questions? Just ask away.

Hi nice to have quick replies.

I'm in the Charente half way between Poitiers and Angouleme. "in house" was meaning can't get anything done here when I want so do it all myself -in house . I've been setting up a small woodworking workshop as one of my sons is very interested in carpentry, a welding and fabricating area – just putting doors on a hanger to keep dry and have already got a well equipped garage to maintain our cars and my latest thing motorbikes – born again wannabe trials rider. I joined this forum as I've read so many interesting posts and lots of good info and want to do all my own engineering and introduce my kids to something practical other than computer games and it seems to me there aren't many followers on to succeed my generation of hands on folk
