I started this diary blog because I had a few people (and customers) interested in what I was doing but also to help others with there own building and DIY projects and problems they face on a day to day basis, the diary is what I do on a working day and other projects I get involved with, mostly described with pictures along the way.

As I learn more about the wordpress platform I am using, it has become reader and user friendly with recent comments and top commentators shown in side bar.
