Our broadband is so slow here my son worked out it would be quicker to drive to Brighton and back and use his uni digs mega fast Virgin connection that wait for whatever to download overnight here. Must check he's cancelled it thinking about the Virgin package. Also need to find new digs as he's not doing a placement year...

Strange...do you have as very slow connection? If so then do zip for a start. I often use it without issue (or zipping) and my speeds are about 8mbps down and 2mbps up. You could try Smash but that doesn't have a mobile app (yet): https://fromsmash.com/ Other than that then Dropbox like others have suggested above. That annoys me though when you keep getting emails that you've reached your capacity / would you like to upgrade. Also I think Dropbox limits you to 2GB storage space. Not an issue as such but vague recollection that if you reach your limit of 2GB then delete 1GB thus freeing up 1GB it won't have it as it works on all the data uploaded ever. Then the upgrade emails start. As I say, could be wrong.

Crystal Palace me. Direct line of sight but for the sides of the valley I have to point at with the highest gain Band A I could get. I might try and make another sheet/mesh trough antenna before I give up on terrestrial all together. I had a word with the neighbour as an aside and he's happy to lop off the problem conifers.

WeTransfer is just SO easy. I most frequently use it to send large 'ish video files taken on site with the phone.

Use WeTransfer it's a doddle. I use it all the time. https://wetransfer.com/ Your email, his email, upload to 2GB. Recipient has 7 days to download. You don't need to even zip the 260MB.

Cheers @nod, saved me telling him it's over. ?

The cheap ones that rounded off I had were from S'fix and purportedly Grade A2, not sure on the hardness though. Fit A4 316 for a start to guarantee against corrosion.

Some (cheap?) stainless screws can be a bit soft and where the bit fits round off easily. Then a pig to get them out if you need to.

23 to 56 now whereas it used to go to 68 wasn't it?

Funnily enough a mate of a mate, wanting to do similar as my bathroom thinks I've gone OTT putting 150mm pir + 25mm eps in my floor. He's planning "50mm eps then 2" screed with UFH". Aside from the heat losses I told him the screed is too thin.

Also a consideration is having the correct "band" aerial. As in Band A, B etc. You might be lucky enough and get away with a "WB", wide band aerial depending on the distance to the transmitter. This is the place for info and help: https://www.aerialsandtv.com/

Good job. False economy trying to fix old pipes...as I found out. Theres a certain satisfaction knowing everything's new and leak free! -

I'm amazed the one on the tree house worked out so well. -

If you do have 3 phase coming in can't you fit a higher capacity PV system so as not to be limited to the <4kW? There was a while back a call by some of the DNOs to try and make 3 phase to all new homes mandatory.

Should I buy this autofeed screwdriver for plasterboard?

Cheap seats here with my Lidl Parkside drywall gun. Can't fault it: -
Had a similar, cold reveal here. Ours was just painted render not plaster. Though I can't do anything about the window all the draughts have stopped. No condensation on the reveal either.

What you need I think is a Sun tracking recliner sat on a turntable within a Sageglass glazed greenhouse with MVHR. -

Pretty sure the 120VAC requirement if nothing else might thwart you! -
I have heard they tend to let the grass grow under their feet.

Cheers. The belt here comes off the (same?) pulley directly above the gearbox. I tried adding the M12 stainless bolt that nigh on sits against the pulley flange with maybe an 1/8" clearance if that. Somehow though it still comes off! Added pita then of removing the bolt to change the belt. Yours btw looks in excellent nick. The grass box flails slide onto a long box section and that can rot. Its 1" box section not 25mm. Got a few lengths here if ever you need any.

@Olly P, as I said same T1200 mower as mine. I got given it, a bit rough as an "if you can get it going" thing and have spent a few quid. Had it going until the brake assembly seized but hope to have that sorted within the next week or so. One bug is that the belt jumps off pretty often when putting it into reverse. This even with a new belt. Can I maybe ask a favour? This pic is of the underside looking towards the front. The pulley on the far left is on the engine shaft. Is your belt on the bottom groove like mine or the higher one? Maybe you can check just by feeling. Could I suppose be the tensioner... As an aside I have the service manual and parts list that Westwood kindly sent me as PDFs. Not the best quality as scans but if you want a copy PM me your email. Cheers
