That’s where using an IDE is beneficial then as the AI will change the local files with code so it’s all saved locally. but it’s a bit cheaty for me as I get free access to AI through work so if I had to pay I probably wouldn’t use it as much!

so i can commit and push within VSCode and the Roo extension can use the LLM to run git commands (i've had it do it in the past to check the git logs to compare versions of code) so i don't see why i couldn't get AI to run the git commands for me. i can't try it at work as we have to raise change requests but next time i'm working on a personal project i'll see if it works. a quick "can you commit the changes and push to the repo?" should do it.

or do as we're doing and have a mixture of both! part of the "garden" will be laid to lawn as i like nice stripes and a lush green lawn but other parts will be wildflowers to attract the wildlife and give us a lovely meadow-type thing to look at. best of both worlds. 😉

i don't use AI to run `git push`! even i can just about manage that. 🤣

i don't use file links. I integrate with VSCode and i can then commit to a git repo and pull it to wherever i want.

damn that's a lot! we paid £260 +Vat for 20T of top-soil (grade B). grade A was more expensive but it was just grade B mixed with manure which we didn't think we needed for a lawn, especially as we put manure in the subsoil. i suggest phoning around. we got ours from a local muck-away company who processed their own top-soil through a machine that screeded to 8mm.

we thought about approaching local stables to get "free" manure but then when we considered the cost to get it loaded and transported probably wouldn't have been much less than just buying it and getting it delivered! think 20T of manure cost us about £200.

I find you have to rein it in quite often though with big projects as it gets blinkered and fixing one issue leads to another and another when it was the initial fix that was wrong. it’s definitely not yet at the point where non-technical people can write software I think as you have to proof read a lot of it! I have started asking it to write me something to paste in to starting a new context as the best way to get it up to speed!

What’s your subsoil? We have clay underneath so spread 20T manure across the area and rotavated it in to the clay and then compacted and spread about 100mm of topsoil using a digger and the raked it level-ish, light compaction with a water filled roller, then raked the top, added a new seed fertiliser and then seeded with our seeds of choice. I had a long chat with ChatGPT about seeds specific for our requirements and ended up with a large variety of different seeds. About 1/3 rye grass for quick establishment, 1/3 tall fescue which does well in clay and dry conditions due to long/deep roots and the final 1/3 a mixture of other fescues and a small amount of bent grass.

Yes. Definitely. When architecting new ideas there are often “future developments“ suggested without even asking for them.

I don’t have a link but it was the 7.4m Trade Master Professional Scaffold Tower

Our design went through a number of iterations as I told them what I wanted but it wasn’t how they normally did it so it took some back and forth. Got there in the end though and saved me messing around in loopcad. I had many other things to focus my time on.

Another Wunda here. They designed it for me and then gave a great price on the parts which meant I didn’t have to hunt around and source from various places. Was one of my easier decisions on the build!

Got mine from https://www.bpsdepot.co.uk

nope. but i use exactly the same AI for my work. 😉

i use Claude Sonnet 4.0 (so much better than 3.5!) in VSCode using the Roo extension. it's mind blowingly good. i've vibe coded the conversion of an old Perl script of mine that automated golf tee time bookings in to Python including running from systemd, multithreading, retries, integration with Discord to send notifications and much much more and i didn't type a single line of code. i did a lot of prompting but Claude wrote all the code and fixed the issues it created in that code. saved me about 2 weeks of development time which i just don't have.

Latzel Dammstoffe. there are a few threads/posts on here about them. others have had success with them as well.

still can. saves a fortune!

Elite installations are great guys. they installed our doors and windows and couldn't be happier with their work. really nice to have on site as well. they didn't do our taping though as we did the whole house ourselves so i can't comment as to their ability with that!

I had the Hikoki. Misfired like crazy. Took it in for repair and was told there’s nothing wrong with it, they just do that. Got my money back and bought a Paslode. It’s not missed a beat.

looked in to this this morning and it's too late for me as i've already run the speaker cable for passive speakers. i might've considered it at first fix stage but i would probably have run speaker cable as well so as to not be limited to Loxone speakers. although the 1.5mm cable in the tree cable could also be used for audio i guess.

i'm wondering if i could 3D print some that fit through the cutout hole?

btw, don't suppose you can share the plans for the acoustic boxes? dimensions, materials etc? did you make it up as you went along or follow some plans obtained from the web?

thanks. I'll look in to these tomorrow. I ran a cable to either side at the end of the double beds so I think that a stereo pair would be quite nice in that location.
