Some New to Me Books

[Raymond Sanderson 2Participant @raymondsanderson2]

LOML returned home from her spinners and weavers group with 4 books from one of the other members who's hubby passed away some time ago.

I have had a quick browse/flick through only at this stage but I think my favourite will be the Recycling Use and Repair of Tools

G'day Ray.

SWMBO is looking after you well. That looks like an interesting read.

I have noticed lately that so much decent equipment is being scrapped because the basic skills to repair the item are being lost. I just offered a local security firm to rebuild some circuit boards (alarm systems) that had pretty minor faults. Their reply indicated that a replacement (from China) would be much more cost effective as they could charge more. One board had a blown fuse. The 'technician' was only trained to replace the board (at $150 p/h btw). Further investigation revealed that he was only paid $30 p/h btw.

We live in a "throw away society", it's sad!
