Onoff

Tbh, once it stopped stinking out the garden I forgot about it and never used it. The water in the bucket dried out last year. I'll approach with caution over the weekend. Might even set another bucket going.

Looking like I'll get all 50 beans sprouting here!

Could I... Fill the bath with soil then cover it in say bin liners. Then punch holes thru and pop in little lettuce, carrot, whatever seeds, (plants?).

That's not to be be sniffed at!

Rough trade! 😉

About half, so circa 25/50 of the runner beans have sprouted today including the 3 beans saved from last year. I need "soil" for my salad enclosure made from an old bath. I have a load of top soil from the patio excavation. I can sieve this but is there some way of "sterilising" it?

I can always print covers up if you make a hash of the joints.

50 bean seeds planted. 47 new seeds and 3 saved from last year. Rather than last years paper mache/compressed cardboard pots, I've used compostable espresso cups I got given for nothing. I just punched a single hole in the base. It's taken 13 days for the seedlings to appear as opposed to 9 days last year. Not helped by the cloudy and wet month we've had here along with some morning frosts still.

Just drill a tad over halfway, from the correct point both sides, it invariably lines up.

It wasn't ME who started this! A couple of members have been to my place and will likely agree the amount of work needed etc. After a hard 5 days last week I came home and as I pulled up in the drive could hear a digger. I walked round the back and SWMBO's first words were "Don't moan..." The house is surrounded by mismatched paths and patios in some cases patios over cracked patios! The common theme is that they either slope towards the house, are higher than the internal floor levels...or both! 😂 Really it all needs to come up. Anyway...we'd discussed extending the patio area a few weeks back. I suggested doing the opposite side of the house first so we could store various materials out of sight, sort the drains etc. It would appear that fell on deaf ears. On a whim she'd gotten her brother with his digger to, well...start digging! Various reptiles & amphibians appeared and were safely relocated. He then dislodged an old clay soil pipe along with the bees nest and got stung. The "Don't moan..." was because he'd also found the oil pipe! 😂 I did a 180 on the path and shot down to Screwfix for a few 10mm pipe couplers. Been pegging out the excavation tonight using the laser to see what levels I have. Paving slabs are coming free hopefully. Aiming for this to be as cheap as possible.

+1. No problems with the BG one I fitted to the wall outside. Saying that I haven't wired it up yet...

Always too worth getting some grout colour charts before you commit.

Ahem...

Imho at least put some conduit drops / boxes in, even if you go wireless.

I've had a Quinetic switch fail.

The Burrows / discharging...nothing new there then! 😂

Deeper, 47mm back boxes can help but that has knock ons. A deeper service cavity potentially etc.

Good luck getting 2 4mms in some accessories let alone 3.

You'll get no arguments here.

3D print some custom extension pieces?

Thinking about this you could cover the garden with PV panels and have an AstroTurf "cover" on a garage door type roller. To use as a lawn you would of course need to have a protective shield if you will over the PV panels, have you any experience with walk on glass?

The list is getting longer but as SWMBO seems to have no interest in projects here I have to find outlets for my talents elsewhere! 😉 That it serves beer and the conversation is better is just the icing on the 🍰.

Too busy mate. Just FINISHED a box section arch for the pub and a reversible sign. Paid in pints and crisps! 👍

They could always build social housing or a halfway house on top!

The theory being he's protected against ever increasing prices. Without knowing what those increases could be it's I guess impossible to calculate the "savings". Saying that it doesn't have to be about saving per se, if you've the money and want to play with this tech then why not. Spares could be an issue if it all goes to pot with China maybe?
