My wife takes 110% though :(

I just bought some of those reading specs with a magnet on the bridge piece to allow them to split in half, and hang round your neck when not in use. A neighbour swears by them. These are a tiny bit narrow for my fat head, but normally they are £20 a pair. If you search on fleabay these, with a...

Another idea could be to ask your local friendly metal fabricating shop for something like 2mm, 5mm and 10mm shims to level the bottom sections of your precast workshop, then non-shrink grout just under the walls to fill the gap and give a nice bearing surface?

From memory plus or minus 10mm for a footing is probably within the allowable tolerance normally (within a certain distance of each measurement, seperate and in addition to how far from required level, etc)? There will be some error in whoever measured it, in the laser, more etcs Obviously 25mm...

If cross channel relations were a bit better I would think when the UK started building lots of turbines but no storage for their output the idea may have been for gas storage and supply from over the water in exchange for wind power when they're turning in the UK. Since future carbon costs will...

Also, Advoko makes is perhaps worth a watch? How he made his water wheel is I think very clever (in an earlier vid).

I had a look a while ago. I seem to remember the extraction bit is to prevent disruption to wildlife so if you are doing it at a waterfall then the fish are already knackered with access and permission is more likely. Using this man's super useful info I worked out for my tiny stream I might...

" If you can't afford to buy transport that uses this technology in order to get around then buy a bike or use public transport or hire a vehicle" That would mean most of the rural countryside of the UK moving into cities and live where? How many of the top 7 auto makers would have closed...

Sitting in a moving Caterham next to an artic I can assure you it is :)

Ha ha ha ha :)

I like the OP but considering what Piaggio offer with three wheels I think that would suggest the OP would not be classed as a motorbike in Europe? I really liked the Twizzy but don't know why they didn't make it weather tight. I may get a Honda Super Cub that they say does 180mpg, more...

After a water leak a few months ago we borrowed a neighbours one which was good but noisy as heck. I bought a Meaco 20l ABC Dehumidifier on the basis of quietness as well as reviews and have been pleased with it.

A common definition is a piece of land surrounded by rules and regulations :)

This link has a good explanation of why and when locking became more of an issue- https://bushcraftuk.com/community/threads/uk-knife-law-article.8233/

Good luck with your search. I believe if you buy a croft as long as you live more than about 30 miles away you can get a grant to help build on it, that plot then gets sliced off from the (tenanted) croft itself so you own it allowing a mortgage. Finding a croft might be tricky and prices are...

Under my feet obviously. It's portable you know. Made in China, best quality.

It was the only way to guarantee privacy. No one else will actually fit. Sleeping is tricksy though. Driftwood yes, no nails though not so sure.

I did have a midsize Leatherman which I tried using to cut wire among other things. If it didn't quite do it and the wire got wedged between the blades you couldn't use the handles to lever the jaws apart because that just closed the tool. Annoying. I since have used this Gerber which has a...

Despite all the jolly sensible advice here I would still be happy to have a go at something usefully long. I thought I could make six skittles first as practice of shorter similar shapes. Unfortunately Yandles seems to say they won't post something to me on an island 600mm long anyway, and...

Black mould is a common thing on older, left for a while, insufficiently ventilated campers. The advice there is often bin the insides, for health rather than appearance sake. I've read that the "roots" of black mould go deeper in than bleach will reach, so you may make what's there invisible...
