Gorse Fox started by taking the comatose PC to the ER where a nice man was going to take a look at the problem.
Then it was a matter of returning to Urban-cub's flat to fix a recalcitrant drawer. Unfortunately the recalcitrant drawer remained recalcitrant and whatever GF did, the drawer and its runners were too wide for the orifice into which it should slide.
After some thought and fiddling, GF gave up. Two options were open 1) make a new drawer, or 2) get a new base unit. GF headed to B&Q and looked at option 2... but whilst not too expensive they did not have the right coloured doors available. That led to option 1. GF stopped off at his favourite woodyard and bought some appropriate wood. Now it would just be a matter of taking the front off the old drawer and building a new smaller drawer frame.
Saw, band-saw, electric drill/driver, router, biscuit cutter. All was set. The Gorse Fox got cracking but was evidently not at his best. Everything was cut to size. The router ploughed (or started to) a slot for the drawer bottom, however it was clear the router bit was blunt and GF had no spares. Eventually all was well (except for cutting a biscuit slot in the wrong place) so GF got ready to dry-assemble the parts. This is when he found the drill battery was dead, and so was the spare.
Enough was enough. GF put his tools away and went to cook supper.
