Re: Stuff and Things.
Just to make sure the point/link wasn't missed, it was @exxos's chair that caught fire. Moss is just for celebration.

I missed that particular episode of 'exxos breaks stuff and sets it on fire' because I was away, then due to family stuff I was a bit out of kilter for a few weeks!

It was a good episode. Glad to help you get caught up.rubber_jonnie wrote: Mon Oct 24, 2022 11:48 am I missed that particular episode of 'exxos breaks stuff and sets it on fire' because I was away, then due to family stuff I was a bit out of kilter for a few weeks!
As you can see, your chair repair will doubtless fail to live up to the standards already set in this forum.

Yep, it's a pretty high bar that's been set, I'm not sure I'd be able to surpass that...derkom wrote: Mon Oct 24, 2022 11:51 amIt was a good episode.

Re: Stuff and Things.
It looks doable then. As long as you don't set fire to it like @exxos then that's a step in the right directionrubber_jonnie wrote: Mon Oct 24, 2022 11:07 am I'd not realised before that the gas lifter was available separately. So a few measurements later and I have one on order
Fingers crossed I'll be able to get my chair back to normal very soon.
