Lol fair enough, if aesthetics are no biggie I would suggest the type of shelving that is basically two wall mounted runners. These usually have slots in them where you can place the shelf brackets in and then the shelf on top. Then you can adjust the height of the shelves whenever you want or add more shelves as you need them.
Don't forget a spirit level, and some spare bubbles for it too ;)
B&Q call them flexi uprights and brackets.

Makes me feel like I know what I'm doing, my diy usually ends in swearing. Still I bet I'm not the only one who pretends the drill is actually a Bolt pistol.Quote:

I once cooked a frozen pizza with a heat gun. Not the best meal I've ever had, yet still not the worst.
That's adawbs.Quote:

Yeah. Need to buy a spirit level.
I've tried summoning a spirit from the Graveyard out back, but being a Victorian Gentleman of the middle class, he turned out to be as much use at DIY as boobs on a penguin.
Wilkinsons (do you have them down south?) have some two foot triple pine shelves that only need two screws and are about a fiver each.
Will have a Google. Shelving is fun!Quote:

Like others, I put up a shelf, perfectly level, naturally, to find that the window, ceiling and radiator all had their own version of level.
Urgh.
Nevermind,

But, not wall mounted.

Is it wrong that all I'm thinking with all this talk of DIY all I want is the grass to grow in the back yard so I can work out what to do with my zen/relaxation area
Nope. That's quite understandable.
Like what plants to get and wether or not to put rocks in the garden bed, and maybe getting a stone head sort of thing
I thought zen gardens didn't have plants? just pebbles?
That black glass will attract all the dust in the world Mystery...
Already have a TV unit in the black glass, so would tie things together. Most important thing is that's wall mounted.
Depends on the type of zen garden, a typical Tibetan budhist one is sand, rocks, pebbles, sometimes a water feature and candles/braziers, Japanese zen gardens are more a quite area for contemplation normally with a source of white noise like songbirds or flowing water, I'm following the more japanese zen style of having a area for relaxation and contemplation

And I have a desktop one in the Tibetan style I intend to have down there
And a Tibetan singing bowl which is my preferred method of meditation
anyone know why the GW 'What's new today' has vanished?

I wonder where I could get a Buddha this big
Garden centre, or the internet?
I may check the local gardening stores, and funnily enough most junkshops where I am sell garden statues so I can check there to
hmm, that link works fine, but it is not showing on my front page

A garden not given over to the production of fresh fruit and veg is a wasted opportunity

sad thing is, I had a geography professor tell me people in the middle ages thought the earth was flat... I almost started to shout at him in the middle of his lecture...
One of the many people who were famous for the wrong thing.
Sad thing is Wolfie... if you go against the status quo in a US classroom, you will have a very short career indeed.Quote:

As for teachers, unfortunately, they are told what they must teach and if you deviate from that is not good
Don't forget that American inventor not actually inventing anything but stealing ideas from when he worked in the patent office...Quote:

still no What's New Today. Last week I did the questionnaire thing on the site, and told them to stop moving the What's New Today link about the page. they seem to have just removed it for me entirely instead :p
iMPROVEMENT?
given that the article is pretty much just, 'new stuff, buy it' I can't say I care that much
Hmm, sorry that wasn't supposed to be in capitals I am not realy sure what is goin gon
On the whole Columbus note, I didn't realise he was so close to my typical playthrough of the spore space age, I just tend to nuke any none space age civilisation to extinction after taking a few specimens for research and take their planet off them because I can't understand how terraforming works and can't really be arsed to terraform
Not only did people with an education know the earth was round, so did people without an education. Sailors for one and there are 13th century sermons recorded from some priest in Austria I think talking quite casually about the earth being round to peasantry.
The problem with Bartoleme de las Casas is that until very late in life he advocated replacing Indian labour with African labour, he was not an abolitionist and while he was a supporter of the native American peoples he really can't be considered an early proponent of universal human rights. He also supported the forced Christianisation of the native population as well.
