Hi Colin. Happy New Year to you. I too would like to try your spreadsheet. I use a Mac with Excel. I order everything from Wessex.

Hi Mark. They look good. What do you use as a 'wash' please?

Hi David. Do you still have the plan chest? If so, could you give me a price and also the outer dimensions. (Would have to collect in back of estate car).
