Today's happenings were, go an pick up 80 x22m sarking boards, then unload start strippin the roof
oh feck there is a section cut out the roof like a veranda type with a railing round it and patio doors
the floor is rotten outside and inside the ceiling is sagging an has been leaking.
I dont know why they never said as soon as I stood on it the flooring (rubber roof) sagged in about 15cm ffs :eek:
The timbers above the patio doors with a metal beam is just sitting on top of the door frame
only nailed in and butted against one joist and not supported. ??
the other side has dropped and there is wood worm present.
Great more work :D chap doesnt know yet he's in Glasgow for a night out his misses will
tell him in the morning. Ooooffft

Did it bolluks. Ah woke up ter hear somefing wuring. Realised it were me phooter and gorrup all eggsited at what eye would find. A message ter say there wern't enuff space ont me backup drive. Eye fergottid to check. So I deleted some of the old stuff and started it oft again. 15 hours later I had a backup of me broke'd phooter but at least eye had all me files.

Messed about trying to fix the bootmgr fing but no change. Couldn't see a drive it could boot oft. Messed wiv disk partition ont dos screen but still wouldn't boot. Found me usb with a dell recovery fing onnit but fort betterer of using that. Eye was scared of killin it propper and losing all me files.

Put me previous backup on and it wouldn't boot. Realised eye din't select the option to get norton ghost to make the drive bootable after the recovery. Only one partition ont drive as eye dun't need to mess with da hidden ones. Done it again and it booted. But only after putting me usb dell recovery tool int and running that to fix bootmgr and other hidden bolloks eye can't easily solve meself. But that was a 6 week old backup which is before I gottid me desk and phooter setup and did lots of fings ont me phooter. But at least it were now booting to win 7 again which is a good starting point to work from.

So eye then fort me drive was bootable and therefore I could recover the latest broke'd c drive only, which is where me windows is. Not much data on there other than email files but eye plan to auto back them up to me data disk wiv a batch file int start up menu option fing int future. Eye tend to drop a lot of stuff ont me desktop so int future eye will leave shortcuts there int stead to reduce risk. Easier to know everyfink is ont me data disk and separate int case yer need to reload windows.

Putting the broke'd backup ont the now working drive din't work. Went int but wouldn't boot. Norton ghost did it but must have messed wiv the bootmgr fing inna bad way and stopped it working. Or put back the damage in some way. Bastid. Each of these recoveries are running int ghost dos mode so take 5 hours to copy across 180GB as the dos driver is slower. So that p*ssed me oft. So eye put back the 6 week old working recovery and it wouldn't boot like it would before.

Did some more playing and gave up. Then eye seen me usb dell recovery fing looking at me. Put that int and looked at the options. Clicked next as eye wern't sure what option was the bestist. It auto analyzed the problem. After a bit it said it were fixed. Me 6 week old backup then booted. 'Hum' eye finks. I then put yesdi's c drive recovery back on (another 5 hours) then run the dell fing again and it fixed that anorl. So the problem is now solved. If I had used the dell fing at the start it would have been fixed int 10 minutes.

Good news is am gerrin one of thems external ssd's to do faster backups. Int background eye will then copy it to me external spinning disks while I'm still working. Need to get back to regular monthly backups anorl.

Guid morn
A fine August morning, looks like last day of sunshine before the rain moves in.
Coated the complete underside of the Defender in Lanoguard yesterday.
Will inspect it this morning and see if I missed any bits.
Will make the effort and look for a job (to satisfy my Job Seekers allowance)
Otherwise possible final opportunity for an hour or so Taps Aff in the garden
Enyoy your week all
:cool:
