    Sleep well
    Similar set up to a company I worked for as an apprentice.

    An old 1 gallon plastic oil can screwed to a tree with a cut out in the front and no drain holes as there was always an inch of water in the bottom. Got many electric shocks off it, and the Hoover we plugged into it also gave electric shocks if you touched the main body.

    Safety has come a long way since then.

    Decent earthing was the best we could do before ELCBs were invented.

    That's Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers which is basically the umbrella term for RCDs, RCBOs, RCCBs etc

    I found a really nice teak bench that I shared with him yesterday. The family all really like it.

    https://www.memorialbenchesuk.co.uk/...-great-maytham

    Family is happy for a forum message to be engraved/ carved on the bench and I am just waiting on dale to confirm if the family would also like a message As it’s possible to have it on the top and bottom bar.

    I also emailed the bench company directly to enquire about having a koi carving on the bench

    I provided this image as an example to them


    They have replied and said they believe it would be possible but was going to check with the engraver and come back to me.

    I am assuming that everyone is happy for me to take the lead on this?

    Once all confirmed with the family we can have a group discussion on what message we would like on the bench (believe it’s 100 character limit)

    Cost wise the bench is £495
    Carving is £60 per rail
    And if a custom image is added it’s £50 per image

    They also do an outdoor cushion for £50

    Not sure on delivery costs but I’m sure I see £30

    Would be a total of around £745

    If anyone else would like to also have a look around please do and let me know what they find.

    Funds become available to withdraw today, so I have set this process off. Believe it takes around 10 days. Then we can look to get the bench ordered.

    It amazes me when people on here all pull together like this.

    I know a few of us like a joke and quite often go too far but when it comes to things like this it shows how much we all care in reality.

    Ah you're not a bad lot I suppose

    Seriously, its very touching and says a lot about the folk on here. Hope Fred can look down and see how much he meant to our little community.

    and credit to Mike for arranging the funding page and sorting all this stuff out, hell of a good job.
