I needed some more room for a retro workbench so built a new top for the cupboard. Just needs a leg at the end by the door.

@Icky Just leave the door open and then screw it to the door, problem solved.

Then I would have the family pestering me all the time as they go past if I can't close the door @PhilC

Hmm...

Its hard to tell, but there looks to be a good diagonal 65" or more on that wall...if you know what I mean

Maybe its time to ditch those other screens and the clock?

What happened to the idea of using that large outhouse for your retro stuff?

That will all be in time @stephen_usher. The new house is taking up a lot of my time as my major project at the moment and that outhouse won’t be finished for a while so hence needing the desk space.

Ah, I understand.

Whilst talking about the house the old Bakelite transformer and bell back here viewtopic.php?p=77754#p77754 was an interesting project in the end. I disconnected the old transformer from the mains and bell and replaced with an in consumer unit transformer. I left the old one in situ as it’s a period feature but removed the horrible switch.

Anyway upshot is my electric bill went down ~£4 a week according to the smart meter by swapping out the old transformer.
