    Make a shed from wood in woodland or buy cheap wooden one?

    I vacillate between the two ideas. There are some tall trees, from 30-50ft but still have not been able to identify them by looking up their characteristics online.

    Water purification woes...

    Hi guys, I came to my plot which I recently bought of 2 acre open land and 1 woodland approx. My huge problem is water right now. I had already been living out my van for about a year so thought I would be all set to get myself set up but of course the diesel cooker in my van breaks the second...
