Hope you didn't bring it with you yesterday! 😂 That'd be a lark...or ex lark...

Next year I'm going to plant half the amount of beans as in they're spaced twice as far apart as I did them this year. I'm figuring less space for pests to hide, less dense foliage etc. Should give the birds a better chance to get in there. A little Robin is a constant visitor this year.

Currently researching the subject: Seems chicken manure/litter is better than cow manure. Just so happens the landlady has chickens!

"Relocating baler to under stairs cupboard? Might bring in a few of the farming fraternity?

S'alright, they're stuck in with solvent weld, it'll come apart easily...and leak. Proper job here:

Some light reading:

I just want to leave something where people think, Christ, some thought went into that.

3 words of which the meaning escapes me. Have you forgot who you're talking to, "Mr Blue Barrel" here? Do I want fresh sh!t to play with or matured?

Should be ok though you might need a pair of moles or pump pliers to get the nozzle off.

Where?

Would anyone have a good link to DIY / home biogas production. This for heating and possible generator use. This on the basis of someone having a herd of cows so an infinite manure supply! I'm aware of the Nepalese biogas build details and the one from Mother Earth News. I've seen a small plant for such at one of the zoo's/animal parks. Thanks

Isn't a battern a seabird?

I've heard that's why kids fall over a lot, because their heads are disproportionate to their bodies.

No, through the 95mm gap! Or his beer bottle etc. So a child with a slightly larger head is acceptable, do you have a figure in mind?

What if he kicks his pint glass off onto the head of a small child below? 😂

The most solid fix would be near the top of the handrail I think? So do you need more tubes or not? I've also some 50mm dia stainless tube with a 6mm thick wall here but not much. Might look better?

I believe there's a maximum gap between handrail uprights if that's what you're planning. So a child can't fall through or get it's head stuck. You be best getting it right in case your BCO tugs you on it. Not sure if you need a kick board?

Things can get intense...

I need to cut and shut these stainless brackets. They'll be welded together. The tile battens aren't that tall so I'll lose 10mm of the L bracket to bring it level with the tile: I'll then shorten this leg, or maybe the other one with the longer slot as there'll be a bit more meat on it: Is 5mm clearance enough, from the underside of the bracket to face of tile below, as shown by the packer: Cheers.

A sobering thought I always quote is @Jeremy Harris's calc that even with 300mm of EPS under his 100mm slab, he lost 8% of his heat through the floor.

Would you want the posts near the wall further away than your ledger was for ease of future maintenance, getting a paint brush in there etc?

I'll cut and post you some more bits of stainless tube if you need.

The general populace won't is the issue. They like their comforts and by some trickery the new incumbent will sate their immediate needs. Forget tomorrow, live for today is the mentality. Look at my situation, acutely aware of the issues, benefits of energy efficiency etc but SWMBO so disinterested and unsupportive it's unreal. She's looking forward to a weekly £50 takeaway or buying wallpaper, paint etc for a wall that needs to come down or a carpet where the floor needs to come up. I'm thinking how that money would be better spent on the fabric of the house.

Do I recall a story of a tin mine being shut down and the pumps switched off, allowing millions of pounds worth of infrastructure to be flooded & ruined. Then a couple weeks later, tin prices rising to the point it would have made it economic to have kept it running?

That's it, rub it in...ooh yeah, just there...
