Woohoo, yay for powerline. The wifi signal around this old house is dreadful, but I now have a smart TV and a blu-ray player that are actually smart.

Oh, and @Tefal

I have the same draws but in grey, if you don't mind, where did you get the table top from, and how is it attached ?

It looks like an oak worktop from Ikea (I did the same thing for my desk)

Yea, Alex drawers and Karlby worktop, all ikea. Sits on the top, not attached, but I have some rubber stickers on there to stop it moving.

Looks great, my only concern would be it bowing in the middle - worth putting a baton against the wall, if not already done?

Yea, I was tempted but it's a really solid worktop. Thing weighs a ton. That and I'll be wall mounting all the screens anyway, so no weight there.

Phate · 25 Jul 2017 at 12:50

Really does look great for such a simple & cheap solution

Have bookmarked it all for when I setup a home office

Now I need to find a way to sneak in 3 new monitors without getting a whole heap of **** from the wife lol

Have them delivered on a day she isn't there, fit them. Remove packaging and old screens and say nothing.

When she questions it just say "what do you mean? I have always had multiple screens" (detract from the fact a third one has appeared, and they're all brand new)

Just keep insisting and gradually apply wine where required.

I guarantee it will bow under it's own weight at some point, let alone under any kind of load. Unless it has steel rods going through it

For the sake of a small piece screwed to the wall, I would definitely do it.

All the way from America MAGA!

Geigerrig 3L Hydration Reservoir. It's different from others because you can pressurised it by the air line with the small air pump, which allows you to spray it.

It's unfortunate that I have to deal with a second tube on my plate carrier, but I find a way to keep it out of the way and secured.

What's the rationale behind spraying the contents of a drinking bladder?

Saves squeezing the bottle I suppose. Seems a bit like a solution to a problem which never existed though :confused:

You suck through bladders though, at least the ones I've used. Hard to squeeze something that's on your back if mounted in a Camelbak-type rig.

ci_newman · 25 Jul 2017 at 17:54

If you are using it for wild camping (i.e. no fixed water supply) I can see the benefits of a bladder under pressure for cooking etc.

Excellent, thanks, will grab one this weekend

Oh and you can get a single leg to sit in middle at the end, just searched for ADILS, might get that as well

Ah, gotcha. That makes more sense, thanks
