  1. Where are you roughly?
  2. You could likely use that run off pipe as the pivot point. Then an arm to the floating paddle wheel or whatever. One issue might be debris coming down the burn and snagging/taking it out.
  3. What's the derelict structure across the stream from your cabin? Has an old ladder poking out.
  4. That's not a tree it's a mirror!
  5. Says the king of manscaping!
  6. Have the video camera and at least you might get £250 if it all goes t!ts up!
  7. Something like..... .....strap a couple of 4.8m scaffold boards atop the Genie arms, parallel to the roofs. You need to get the load dead centre. Lay 3 decent ratchet straps across the boards. Handball the roll onto the boards so if 5.5m you'll only have 350mm overhanging each end. The ratchet straps will be under the roll. Lift to height. Ideally a tad higher than the roof. Next strap 3 more boards from the "Genie" boards, to the roof. Ladder job to get up there. Roll off down the slope and watch it go straight across the roof and off the opposite edge! 😂
  8. Strap an engine hoist / floor crane atop the joists?
  9. Could you lean a couple of scaffold boards at an angle then two or more of you haul it up slope on ropes? Got any mates? 😂
  10. Erm...yeah...I meant the Moon has more effect on tides than the Sun.
  11. Isn't the Sun just a bfo fusion reactor? & doesn't the Sun have a gravitational effect on tides albeit not as much as the Moon?
  12. Ah the roofie King speaks!
  13. Like with the old mill ponds. Increased head is always good.
  14. I was glad it was only acetone one time I squirted it in my eye.
  15. Cheap Chinese? [£11.83 37% OFF]Yellow Translucent 12V/10W DC Water Flow Pump Generator Turbine Generator Water Flow Hydraulic DIY Electrical Equipment & Supplies from Industrial & Scientific on banggood https://banggood.onelink.me/zMT7/sgrmle8z Presume anything like this would need a filter to stop it clogging with debris from the stream.
  16. I didn't go "there" as mine didn't need it but will do so with another dead gun I've been given.
  17. Using the pump motor as a generator?
  18. This based on @Radian's comments what a pita these are to repair. Just done another one and thought it might help someone: First thing to take off is the brass nozzle. Some are a hex and others have two flats. Then clean all the gunk off with a blade. Use a small drill bit, held in your hand, to clean up inside. It's fitted with some type of liquid threadlock but I just replace later with ptfe tape: Then unscrew the knob at the back, take that and the spring out and with a pair of moles clamp around the barrel and unscrew that. Again it'll have threadlock, again use ptfe tape upon reassembly: Barrel off, you can see the pink foam adhered to the long rod that goes up the middle. Gun cleaner for that if still wet, sharp blade if it's dry. Then move to the small nut just in front of the handle: You should be able to knock the rod out with a soft faced mallet. Blast through the handle with gun cleaner as you go: Clean the barrel. I used a suitable drill bit (in the cordless if necessary) then a cloth soaked in gun cleaner and drag it back and forth. Blast any remaining loose stuff through: Imo then wear inside this nylon bush (just below the threaded section) is what kills a lot of these guns. Foam ends up coming out the back, dries and the gun seizes. And/or air gets in through the same point when the gun is closed off and hardens what's in the barrel. You will likely need to pick out the dried foam inside the nylon carefully: My trick is to slip on a suitable rubber O ring: PTFE tape the barrel where it goes into the gun: Tape the brass nozzle too: Reassemble with a smear of silicone grease on the moving parts: Hopefully you're then good to go. Not shown where the can screws onto the gun. You'll likely need to cut/dig foam off around there and have a twiddle up where the ball valve is. I've seen other guns where the central rod is (black), Teflon covered like on a frying pan, that wears leading to the same issues. An O ring might well fix that.
  19. That's a great idea, I would. Use it to charge a 12V system in the cabin. There's some off the shelf ones designed for campers, hikers etc. WaterLily is one that will also double as a wind turbine (with added blades). There's a Kickstarter / crowdfunded one too I've seen called Estream but I don't know if that's come to fruition yet.
  20. When rotabroaching I use the cutting oil from Machine Mart in 5L containers . Also comes in 1L bottles. I just squirt it out of a Lucozade bottle.
  21. I've only done the top and bottom so far... 😉
  22. Like that. What did it cost, £39K? 😂
  23. Like this: https://www.forward2me.com/blog/shop-on-ebay-germany/ @ToughButterCupmay know a workaround.
