A window in the laser room.





Other stamps are available for laser mishaps.











While searching or that lot, I noticed that the Thunderer has its finger on the pulse of all the latest stories.

Today's focus was on the laser room to make sure that it's all done and ready for the carpets arriving on Thursday, so we've got the plasterboard finished, the sparky put all of our lights and switches in and then we quickly popped the skirting boards on tonight.

There's still a few jobs to do in there, the sockets need putting on, the plasterboard needs skimming and some holes need filling, the window needs framing and we need a new pair of doors at the corridor entrance.  Then the whole room needs a coat of paint as well.


While he was here the electrician popped the lights and emergency lights in the exit corridor as well.

Elsewhere we had the security company onsite upgrading the alarm system to a fancy new one which I can control using my phone.  Everyone will have their own entry code so we can see whos's opened/closed each day and I can set the alarm remotely if we ever forget to set it as we leave.  We've got CCTV cameras coming as well which will also link to the phone so that I can watch them from home.


And some good news for everyone, we're a bit ahead of schedule on the workshop side of things so we got Dave and Ian to do a day's casting each so we've managed to get a good chunk of orders done and ready to go out in Thursday's post.

Does this mean you can live stream the doings of ... whatever you're going to call the building? Imagine! I get a text saying that my order is being cast ... and if I go to camera 6 I can see it happen!

PM must be working double overtime since I got a shipping confirmation for the order I did a couple of days ago ;)

Not quite to that level I'm afraid, the cameras are mainly external plus a couple in the shop area.

We really appreciate these new orders at the moment, the moving costs have severely depleted the funds (long story, the bank screwed us for an £3500 at the last minute) so every penny helps right now.  Once we get in and settled things will be fine again but it's a bit nervy right now!

Luckily that was mostly stock items plus those trays, so all done and shipped out!
