In the past the was a tab where you could, if a validated member, make a donation via bank transfer.. but that is going back a bit. But now we have to be really careful about data protection. All I'm saying is that there is not even a tab to make a pay pal donation for example. I do think BH are missing a trick where folk can just spontaneously donate.. But easy to say, not so easy to set it all up IT wise, maintain data protection etc. If the forum management want to set this up properly then that is going to cost, it will take up Mods time. The forum management may need to pay to farm this out. I'm more than happy to chip in with donations if it keeps the BH show on the road.

Respectfully, I am going to shut this dialogue down. That's quite enough. Please rest assured, that from BH's inception, to date, we have survived on our own framework and principles. We shall continue to do so as a successful, accidentally formed entity, run solely by like-minded folk, for all the right reasons. In the unlikely event that lost souls discontinue to arrive at our doors, we will close down and call it a day. Until then......."play ball". End transmission. 1

Hope I've not caused offense, it was never my intention. @jack has allayed any concerns I had about BH getting sold.. but I do think it is fair enough for me to ask the question in the first place! I also think it is fair for me to make suggestions about fund raising. I made my case, that is all. Nick, if you have a problem with me then you have my phone number, lift the phone and lets chew the fat. Gus. 1

And in the context of self-building, its dark for longer, wet for longer, cold for longer, windy for longer than I'd like. Optimists say that some of that can be sorted by proper clothing, and decent site lighting. But wetness can make a site misery quicker than anything, cold can stop concrete and mortar dead. Wind is a bastard on a scaffold. Self building's a character test. The push to complete never lets up despite all of the above. I suspect that a few of us are having to 'dig-deeper-than-normal' these days. Got any ways of picking yourself up when things are more than merely gloomy? good thread, i find this time of year a pain, it just always seems to be dark!! my tips that help me, a good head torch, a blue tooth speaker with good tunes( best christmas pressie) a list of dry day jobs and wet day jobs, try not to fight the weather. take lots of build photos, look back and see that you have actually moved forward! dont start looking at tomorrow's problems when its late and you should have stopped work ages back. even small jobs help , pick a job that suits your time frame and energy levels. all the best, evenings are stretching now carl 2

A couple of minutes a day so @steamy says. Sure he's right.
