I can foresee a world of pain in your future

It's been pretty pain free so far.
Plugged it in, turned it on, connected it to the wifi, it downloaded a few updates, and I signed in to MS.
All documents are where I need them courtesy of OneDrive, and MS365 is already installed.

Just need to download and install the various additional apps that I need on it.

Then I'll dismantle the old laptop and see if the broken hinge is repairable or not.

Consumer unit & related goodies:

I am looking at the same brand for my house that needs a new consumer unit due to car lift fitment. Be interested in hearing your thoughts on that kit once installed etc

 

[Onoff]

Really nice kit to work with imho. Was an SBS fan but they stopped trading. Mate recommended Fusebox. Loads of room and sturdy.

Not used their switchfuse before, always used Lewden. I'll be swapping the main switch for the Type S 100mA RCD. You can feed their 2P and 4P RCDs top or bottom:

Overkill for a garage?

Just dawned that the new garage board is bigger than the house one! I was constrained by space on that one mind and it is only temporary.

Just because you have a car lift doesn't necessarily mean you need a new cu. You could split the tails via Henley blocks and fit a stand-alone cu for the lift.

I had dual consumer units before and they physically clash with a lift post. So ill fit one large consumer unit now to provide the required clearance

My eventual cu in the house will be a double or triple stacker.

A big drive??

 

[badabec]

110 miles each way, a bit more if you stop to look for Nessie

 

[droopsnoot]

I passed a table outside someone's house with free stuff on it, so I stopped for a look and picked this up

It's handy stuff for waterproofing the hood on my daily Audi, I've got some left in a tin so I figured a bit more would help put off having to buy some more.

I was surprised to see that it's unopened. Worth stopping, then, though it's a bit pointless waterproofing the hood when it leaks around the rear screen.

 

[Blobber]

A big pile of PAR tree wood for not a lot of money

A big drive??

About a gallons of diesel each way if I drive carefully, so worth the drive.

A few other items along withe the bar stock. Looks like a bit of brass in there.

These will be useful for my sah window repairs.

They guy who is donating it to me also has an ML7 he is trying to sell.

A Bosch washing machine, hopefully better than the useless unreliable Indesit one.
