    Tool Roll suggestion.

    Well I have received the green tool roll above as suggested by Mesquite. I will admit its I suppose a bit small but that is part of the usefulness of it - If I had a large tool roll and loaded it to the gunnels I'm just going to quietly resent and ignore it. So now the tinkerers pleasure begins...

    Climate Change & Survival.

    If you put the plates onthe ground and let your dogs lick them clean , this gets the majority of cleaning done. Just needs a drool wipe off with a paper towelette before being put back on the shelf. Living with nature.

    Tool Roll suggestion.

    Yep -looks good - kinda the right size - not too big so you leave it out of the car but small enough for the essentials. Thanks for the vote of confidence but I think I will get something basic to at least start with.

    Tool Roll suggestion.

    I've realised alot of my tools , even the duplicates of duplicates are all in Toolboxes, which is good for the majority of the time. But I realise I also need a kit of basic tools I can throw in the car so I can not just work on my car if needed , someone elses car , someone elses house if i'm...

    WWII Era Spade colour.

    I've been handling this recently and why for the love of all things sacred can we not build to the endurable quality of this now? Its not overly large so I can't say its built 'like a tank' but its definitely got inherent strength and endurable resilience to it. Its one of the most basic...

    WWII Era Spade colour.

    Yeah - I am on the fence on that one. The patina of time does look 'good' on it ( as indeed it looks also good on yourself Broch !! ) < joke > But equally - I don't want it to just be passed over as yet another random old tool ( This time Broch I'm not talking about you - honest ) but...

    WWII Era Spade colour.

    Picking up this 1954 produced War Office spade later on. Probably going to gift it to a friend who has a 1957 land rover as his pride and joy. I want to give it some TLC before I do that . Make it nice and 'Man Pretty' So the question would be - what would be the original ( if any? )...

    Off grid Living - modern feasibility.

    Thats a fair comment and good observation. We tend to focus on creating more overly complicated ways of energy production as opposed to minimizing the requirements of that energy production. I deal with a lot of customers that want Heat Pumps for the most ill fitting structures ( old churches...

    Off grid Living - modern feasibility.

    Agreed its a whack of capital to be found upfront. Around my way 190k may get you a nice 1 bed flat? A modest Two bed house with shoe box rooms and gardens where you can't even swing the proverbial unhappy feline. I guess my angle was many people have a large amount of equity tied up in...

    Off grid Living - modern feasibility.

    Not necessarily just this video but it did make me rethink how now , with the relative modern advantages of many many bespoke , ready to go , kit , design and support ( Starlink, PV solar array and battery , gshp , grey water recycling ) , more modern insulation and build technologies and...
