    I had one of them once, the only thing I didn't like was the orange dash. Nice wheels :)

    Best chicken coop ever?

    Thank you for the review. I had been looking at similar plastic coops but maybe have yet to decide if keeping any is a good thing. Your videos may be pushing me over the edge :) You mention the fitting of their suggested door opener, does that fit in with the open on timer close on daylight you...

    Absolute bargain Wellingtons

    Thank you BR! A while ago I ordered two pairs, one of which had the ceramic toe caps, the other no protection malarky, both size 10. The ceramic ones were about two sizes bigger, absolutely flipping massive! So this time I'm going to order a 9 and a 10 of a different Grub type and return...

    Basic Meds

    I find Jelly Babies good psychologically if I need a good talking too. I'll take on board their sage advice/beasting but then bite their head off. Nom Nom Nom

    Buddleia - Seeds?

    And a nitrogen fixer and pioneer plant I believe. Just a bit flipping evil while it's doing it :)

    Interesting. The cost of bits from their suggested suppliers is a bit eye watering though :)

    I think LoRa needs repeaters within line of sight of each other and your own LoRa, then you use bluetooth to it? LoRa to LoRa can be a long way apart it seems.

    Increased utility bills

    I know you can buy additives to put the lubricity back into modern ultra low sulphur diesel which the older engines fuel pumps needed. The sulphur is the lubricant as far as I'm aware? One such that I bought in the past is Forte Advanced Formula Diesel Treatment. Newer fuel pumps have been...

    Increased utility bills

    Whatever the capacity for wind and solar there is, that capacity (as far as I understand it) needs duplicating for when the sun and wind are not there. That duplicate capacity needs to follow the sun and wind's output so needs to be easily turn on and off able, not baseload static as nuclear is...

    Increased utility bills

    That's a lot of cash for something if you don't mind a bit of surplus seems just like the softie suit is it called? We don't have to use smokeless and are very rural. The heat output of smokeless compared to normal is abysmal. Almost everyone uses normal. We do 50/50ish. Edited to add, our...

    Underwhelming Candle-like Objects

    I'd have thought the little pixies in the wick who actually create the smoke would be really cheesed off if they have to work upside down though?

    Planning Want some advice reguarding filtering water in the uk

    That is a lovely well :) If you dig on Miltons website possibly on their Aus version they suggest a dilution with the tablets for water purification, perhaps something like 1 to 100l rather than the baby bottle cleaning strength. Tablets being better than liquid since the chlorine won't have...

    Repair not replace

    I've been recommended a hand held metal detector more than once for finding nails in wood, as well as using it in the ground for treasure or pipes in walls. £125 ish though for the proper job Garrett Pro Pointer aka the carrot.

    Planning Want some advice reguarding filtering water in the uk

    Also, I read somewhere ages ago the only thing that may remove some chemical nasties if you had to was a Brita, but that would have to be an add on after making it biologically safe first.

    Planning Want some advice reguarding filtering water in the uk

    This was tap water going through a coarse pre-filter before entering our camper tank at a campsite in Morocco. They pumped from a briney borehole every evening into a rooftop tank with an open top with dead who knows what in and all the birds and bats drinking from it. They didn't tell you that...

    Underwhelming Candle-like Objects

    1) The wick that wouldn't light could of course have been soaked with water. That is so obvious now you say it! Duh. 2) The hole in the bottom of the lantern metal sleeve from the lantern that I used is about half an inch across. 3) What is a wick clip? Kirby clips as used in the YT vid above...
