Uh, DA, what have you done with my many sub-galleries ??
And how do I create new ones ???
😮
Not been DA 'creative' recently due a 'minor' roof repair becoming a whole new roof, and urgent replacement of dead c/h boiler up-ending kitchen for foreseeable future...
It's not so much the 'big' stuff, as the zillion nested 'side-quests' to be solved 'In Passing'...
Corner of kitchen floor left vacant by new c/h boiler being wall-hung needs a 'blind' 100 cm corner unit to replace some of storage lost to ripping out big, tall cupboard to free that wall-space. Unit needs a ~15 cm riser to again support raised worktop spanning big laundry machine. Riser would allow a handy drawer to be fitted, but getting matching drawer-fronts *without* purchase of drawer-unit crashed supplier's e-commerce site. Literally, it did not compute !!
Fitting this 'Blind' corner unit requires side-shifting big laundry machine, so fitting new service feeds and a new drain. Have also renewed the totally-seized 'winter' shut-off for garden tap, discovered long-hidden behind that tall cupboard, and removed a 'capped' but weepy 1/2" cold-feed for *original* c/h boiler, replaced twenty-some years ago...
Several other cold-feed pipe joints suspected of weeping were 'only' condensation, easy enough to 'lag'.
Wall-hanging the new c/h boiler has deranged much old plaster. Rather than try to replace it, I'll stabilise, then fit uPVC panels on removable stand-offs. Likewise, a uPVC 'box' will hide the tentacular stuff below new c/h boiler...
I still have to fully sanitise one formerly plaster-buried power cable which sorta vanishes behind a door-frame, and another found by hapless plumber diamond-drilling through it for flue. Upside of latter's repair is I now have a twin-outlet above head-height, handy for a night-light, plus powering a WAP which will also consolidate planned garden PTZ CCTV feeds....

Several chapters of my WIRS#3 'MountView Hall' seem to have 'gone missing'.
Weird, or what ??
If more than a temporary DA server derangement, I'll re-post...

In other news, Rendo' briefly offered a heavily discounted upgrade amnesty for Poser_11 to Poser_13.
This is not an advert, as the offer has now expired, but notification that I grabbed it.
I'll continue to use #11, which I *sufficiently* understand, while trying to comprehend the extra tools in #13.

D'uh, I've blocked so many Keto, CBD etc sellers, usually within a day of arrival, I've maxed-out the DA limit...
Since the TBOverse went down are you going to only post here?
How to make total idiot of yourself...
Hadn't used my 'network render' Box for several weeks, too busy un-wilding garden etc, then could not remember the PIN to wake it...
Yes, yes, I'd written it down, but my notes had been deranged by low-flying cat.
Just about resigned myself to re-installing Windows, Norton's, Chrome, Irfan View and Poser's Q_Manager when I spotted a familiar sheet of paper...
As there are no valuables in that PC, it now bears a big 'posting' label, *not* an ephemeral post-it...
