John Tee Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 A Hobbyking Voltiguer. Had one before and didn't set it up correctly. Didn't last one circuit. Whenever I looked it was always out of stock except Hong Kong. Got from Europe. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Smith 1 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Crikey, Ron, that’s horrific. Hope you coping with the clear up. Would I be right in thinking you are in Suffolk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gray Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 South Norfolk Adrian, 50mm of rain on the Wednesday resulted in flash flooding from the fields behind us, fortunately not sewage impregnated! Again fortunately I have a submersible pump so that together with a wet n dry vac we were able to pump the 3” of water out and had the oak flooring in the worst affected room up and out by 11 am on Christmas Eve. Insurance have been brilliant and we’ve had the emergency drying out team here today installing blowers and dehumidifiers and a virtual loss adjuster’s survey arranged for Thursday. Again, fortune shone on us and no ‘planes were damaged!! In comparison with others in the country we got off lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 A joint pezzie, Silhouette Cameo 4 vinyl cutter. Great for lettering etc. My wife is also involved in craftwork, so will be very useful for both of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 That's bad luck Ron, and even worse timing. Been a bad enough year as it is, without the flooding on top of it all ! Hope you get all sorted and dried out soon. Best wishes mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear that your fleet of WR plans survived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Chinnery Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Been there, done that Ron, I sympathise, unless you've been flooded you cannot conceive how awful it is. November 2000 the River Severn came in through my clinic front door, and out the back, 4 to 6 inches throughout the entire ground floor - oh, and the cellars full to the ceilings. And we lived over the shop, luckily the electricity for the flat was on a separate circuit, and the old gas fired central heating boiler on the ground floor was happy to continue working with its feet wet. We actually only stopped consulting for about 10 days but op's had to go to my other clinic for a month - drying out took until the following Autumn before our last cellar was redecorated. And you never forget the smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
