BH I think he leaves at least half the issues unaddressed and was even confused over the role of the VB in the garage tanking bit.... Still Alan thingy is a good chippy ;) Jim K |

Caught the second part today. I did enjoy it - there were some quite good tips that weren't totally obvious and Tommy actually gave the details on parts, eg "this is 18mm WPB ply". It's how I imagine DIY programs from the 60's would have been, but a bit more hard core. There seemed to be enough detail to actually go and do your own. I approved of his level of engineering - very strong looking frame nd a dormer just to add interest. Not sure about the use of shingles on the roof though - would have been nice to explore a newer robust product like rubber or something - but overall a thouroughly decent effort IMO. Son (5 YO) requested a late stay up to watch a dinosaur programme at 9-10pm and that was good too. Seemed quite in depth but lots of CGI brought it to life enough to hold his attention for the full hour. I'm converted now. Wish they'd put the "How it's done" or whatever on earlier though, not 10pm! -- Tim Watts |

Some fascinating stuff on those programmes, but the background musak gets a bit tedious. Chris -- Chris J Dixon Nottingham UK Have dancing shoes, will ceilidh. |
