This is interesting - I've just ordered another Samsung Phone, I need a waterproof case for two phones now. 

My plan is to fit some kind of plate underneath the box to reach the screen rods of the shadow.

The fixing will have to allow tilting and sideways adjusting.

This is just first idea sketch,

Yesterday so cheating a bit....

 

The head coach at the cycling club my kids go to asked me a few months ago about selling some old motorbike gear he had for when his daughter was younger. I said stick it on Facebook, it'll go super quick.

 

Fast forward to a few weeks back and he tells me one of his old leather jackets had gone really quick but no one was interested in the kids gear.

 

Then he says he'll just give it to me as he wants it gone. Says if I don't want it just toss it. I assume as this point as it's had zero interest it'll be crap. Heck, I put my youngest's gloves that she'd outgrown up the other day and they were gone in under a half day.

 

Anyway, my wife tells me yesterday he'd handed it over and it was in the car. Didn't think of it until much later that day when I'm walking through the dining room... And spot a really nice Weiss jacket suitable for a teenager or small adult, as well as some decent Buffalo trousers (same make as my eldest already has).

 

Amazed they didn't go!! But now grateful they didn't, it'll save me a few quid as my eldest grows

Bottles would be cheaper but not very good for lifting heavy things

True, but after a few you might realise that instead of lifting the thing, you could simply lower the ground.

Was going to buy spare carbon brushes to my jet wash.

End up saving the dosh, found that I had exactly same size as original in my electrics magic box 

[Gerontious]

Bought a trackpad for the desktop and (when it arrives) the new one. SO much better than a mouse, wish I had done this years ago.

Bargain as long as sweats not eaten away the stitching

Not today but yesterday - I acquired a compact 2 man tent weighing in at 2.17KG.
