Garage

The Gorse Fox has returned to the garage. Some progress was made on Friday, but more was needed. The Really Useful Box company have a 35L (XL) box that holds about 95 LP's. GF buzzed up to Chi to buy some, but could only get one. This did enable him to crate up some of the old record collection in a secure fashion. Boxes and bags were emptied. The boot of the Silver Vixen's broomstick was filled with another load of material for the tip(*).

The trip back from the tip meant a stop at B&Q for GF to buy some robust hooks. These are now nestling against the side of the house and are holding the long ladder that had occupied the centre of the garage.

Empty crates are up in the garage rafters, hooks hold some tools and bags. Clamps are clamped to noggins in the rafters. Areas of the (painted & sealed) concrete floor are now visible. There is more to do, but progress has been satisfactory.

(*) This included a Woodfield, which was an RS/6000 model 850 laptop; a model that was never sold, but was presented to the GF as an award. It did have several limitations, however. It had no connectivity options. No LAN, no WiFi, no nuffink. This somewhat limited its use - even as an award. It did run AIX or Windows/NT... but then what could you do with that when it wouldn't communicate?
