Took me a while to get that, I like it. Shall reuse it soon.

How about letting out to English families for 4 years so that their kids are proper residence of Scotland. Then they can bypass paying student fees. If you do it right, you could have 50 or sixty families registered there, but never see them, ever.

Does not have to be concrete. I made some GRP stone pillars over 40 years ago. No one knew they were fake. They may still be on the old Excelsior Hotel in the A4 by Heathrow.

They say that in Switzerland "if it is not illegal, it is compulsory." In the 70s I was refused entry to Switzerland because my motorbike, a Yamaha YDS3, was too noisy. Odd how the Italians thought it was normal.

Slower I believe. And on time.

If they are already cut, but just too thick, sawing will leave you with two 'rough' finishes surely. Alternatively, make some silicone moulds off the ones you like the most, then cold cast new ones.

Basically what @joe90 did. His garage is larger than my house though. So when it comes time to build one, I shall take his old car out and build my dream house in the dry.

Do Swiss trees grow better than ours?

Would you not be better off sawing them. There is a place around the corner from me that trades in granite, they have a saw that can cut though huge lumps of it. Lots of noise and water.

Have you downloaded the Building Regulations. They are worth having a read of. Part F covers ventilation. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/468871/ADF_LOCKED.pdf

Welcome You can get regular modules that are recessed and solar tiles that look not so different from slates. Plenty down here in Cornwall. I drove past a community centre for ten years with a roof covered in solar slates and never realised. Not to jump on the Aussie bandwaggon, I was worked in Neutral Bay, just outside Sydney for a while, 20 years ago.

Getting close to burglary season, it is so horrible when all the Christmas presents get stolen, not to mention the mice pies.

So the receiver looses the code set on the transmitter. Bit of a problem when sensing power, unless it has a relatively large back up battery.

What happens if you don't.

A .jpg of nothing but white then. I was going to try this but my new phone has an led torch, just like my old Sagem phone from '98. The hands free volume and clarity was better back then.

I found that the bats down at Mousehole were attracted to the sound my camera flash made when it was charging up. They would fly towards me, was great as I could easily take pictures of them. I used to go to Normady, a small village a few miles from Bayeux. At 9 PM, someone used to flick a switch and the whole place when dark, so dark that if it was cloudy you could not see a thing. Now I only have to go to a few miles to see the stars that are billions of light years away.

Yes, the stapler was just to stop you running away, but we used to to repair the damage after as well.

Does that mean their insurance company will come asking for some the money back. They are often worse that the tea leafs.

Had to get my 85 year old Aunt off to the hospital last saturday. She was enjoying a football match too much. Broke her leg. No need for a jigsaw or clamp, more a hammer and wire to get the old hip replacement out and fix a new one in. Made for an odd weekend in Stoke Mandeville hospital (again, again, again). On a positive note, no trace of Jimmy Savile anymore.

Welcome I would check to see how much shading the flat roof gets first. And then what angles you can get panels at to get the most appropriate generation levels to suite your lifestyle. There is a lot of nonsense talked about the national grind not being able to supply enough capacity. It is not going to be a problem for the foreseeable future. As for price, probably not an issue as new generation is coming on stream at under half the price of new nuclear and 20% below current wholesale prices.

Lots of microbes live in glaciers.

I got sent 4 cheap ones when I bought 2 decent C-Clamps. I fond them useful to hold things lightly in place while I get the decent clamps, or cramps, on properly. Not a woodworking G-Clamp, but a metal working one, I like the Record ones. They seem indestructible, no matter how hard you screw them up. Not like my cheap wood working ones, some have twisted, and the swivel foot has fallen off. I use them to clamp my large ladder to the brackets I screwed onto my neighbour's fence posts. Makes a nice 'shelf' for the pot plants.

I do like the idea of a small self contained unit. Could also be used with river/pond/lake or borehole water I suppose. I have plenty of rain water at the moment.

Basically what @JSHarrisarris knocked up for half the price.
