I read in a book by Dick/James Strawbridge that they grow tomatoes upside down, I guess to keep them away from pests/diseases , and they don't need staked, so thought I would give that a bash using old 10l paint buckets with a hole cut in the bottom. Some cucumber plants dangling in there too. A few of them I sowed some salad in the top. Once they get a bit bigger I'll need to get them raised up more, might even try a few hanging outside if it's a good summer.

Scary stuff

Yes husky is all the same, you can even have a backpack powered chainsaw if you like!

I've heard it's bliss out on Skye at the minute - for the first time in years, it's not rammed with tourists!

Oh and not to mention "amid this virus crisis" I'm quite happy to be not visiting petrol stations on a regular basis

Sorry your maths doesn't work for me. It doesn't include the fact that after trying battery tools, you realize how much better they are, and you then go on replace your kit as much as possible, within 6 months spending 2k+ on batteries and the same again on the tools themselves

David Urquhart has gone down the pan. Don't know if the name means much in other parts of the country? They had a few hotels, and made their money carting old folks about on coach tours, you would see the big ad in the back of sunday papers Jobs lost as hotel and tour operator collapses WWW.BBC.CO.UK David Urquhart Group is shedding 110 jobs and selling three hotels amid the coronavirus crisis.

I think they work best if there's also somewhere for fresh air to come in - ie leave a window open a crack. Fit wind deflectors.

Probably doesn't make much difference, but from the flettner website: Where on my van roof is the best place to fit a Flettner vent? There is a growing trend among commercial vehicle manufacturers to use thinner, lighter, high tensile steel for their body sections in order to reduce costs and improve fuel economy. To ensure trouble free operation and to avoid roof resonance it is therefore recommended that: First of all you select the most appropriate ventilator for your vehicle/application. The Flettner ventilator should be fitted to the strongest section of the roof. Typically, this is in close proximity to a roof support strut and/or just before the metal profile curves down towards the drainage channel or corner The Flettner ventilator should be fitted towards the rear of the vehicle The Flettner ventilator should not be fitted centrally on an unsupported steel roof section

Does he like cutting the grass? Another option might be a robot mower?

Nice shed, there's a thread for showing off your log store

Crane fail during testing in germany, apparently this was due to be heading over here to the cromarty firth for work on an off shore wind farm

Build a log shed, just make gates/doors for the front that you can lock

You dodged the main question....how much money can you earn as a scaffolder?
-
Not sure if still the case? There was less VAT on a woodburner, possibly 5%? So might be cheaper to buy the wood version of a stove, then the multifuel kit in a different transaction. Irrelevant if it's a new build though - something has gone wrong if you were planning on burning smokeless fuel in a new build!

Battery is far better imo, but the initial cost might be hard to justify for home use? Do you use any other 2 stroke machines that you might be looking to replace ie small chainsaw, strimmer, mower, blower, pole saw etc This is great with a backpack battery but that would blow a grand! : Husqvarna 520iHD70 battery hedge cutter (28″ cut) – FR Jones and Son Ltd | Warehouse Operating As Normal WWW.FRJONESANDSON.CO.UK Powerful yet lightweight and well-balanced battery-powered hedge trimmer for commercial use with 70cm double-sided...

Here's one, roughly 6ft x 4ft, cost zilch Might not suit front garden in suburbia though

If you want to do it on the cheap, it depends what is available locally, especially during lockdown? I've built some raised beds of out larch 6x2s, probably similar price to the rustic sleepers per meter, looks beautiful, and should last 10-20yrs? 2nd hand scaffold boards can sometimes be got for cheap/free, they won't last a huge length of time Pallets.... won't last long, but if they're free and you get a few years out of them...? Non-wood items; Large tyres, plastic oil tanks, IBCs etc, all cheap/free and won't rot?

If money is an issue, how pretty do they have to be?

Around here minimum delivery is normally 500l

Would love to see a photo of that! I remember years and years ago (possibly on ebay) there was a Transit panel van that had been converted into a pickup!
