  1. Another option would be a decent IBC, preferably black. Not bunded but you could make a bund if needed
  2. Looks a good shed for a cannabis farm? Just need to fiddle with the electric meter? Crap for drying logs though.
  3. I'm always very jealous of your shed - not just the size and light levels, but the fact it's joined on to the back door of your house!!
  4. Don't know what's going on here, 2 fires in the same day, both apparently caused by hot ashes being put in bins Bin lorry catches fire after hot ashes put in with household waste | Press and Journal WWW.PRESSANDJOURNAL.CO.UK Refuse in a Highland bin lorry caught fire from hot ashes put in with household waste. House fire ash causes blaze at Inverness property WWW.INVERNESS-COURIER.CO.UK Firefighters were called to a blaze in Inverness apparently caused by smouldering ash.
  5. I can't remember the details, some of the 2.4s had a primer, possibly some 2.0 too. Think they did away with the primer as that was a source of possible leak.
  6. Now you're just being picky! Funeral directors don't seem shy with their pricing, and that'll be a growth industry at the minute?
  7. Amazon doing their own deliveries is a new thing round here, and all their drivers* I have met so far are eastern europeen and struggle finding their way about? Obviously amazon are hoping to make more money doing it this way, but you wonder what was wrong with giving the work to royal mail and the posties. *I imagine they're self employed?
  8. Mobile solar electric fencer. £50 solar panel and charge controller from amazon, £10 john deere battery from scrappy a few weeks ago. It's a bit overkill but hey gotta guard my toilet roll!!
  9. Hey don't knock him, the pallet was going spare anyway
  10. For what it's worth, they were saying on the news tonight Scotland is about 2 weeks behind the rest of the UK (aka london!) with the virus
  11. Read it again, if you're an anti social bastard they are saying you're fine to work?
  12. Coronavirus (COVID-19): business and social distancing guidance - gov.scot WWW.GOV.SCOT Guidance for businesses in Scotland on social distancing, including the closure of all retailers... Be Responsible In this public health crisis it is vital that ALL businesses act responsibly and align fully with the social distancing measures introduced to protect the nation’s heath, well-being and economic future.

  14. I've never tried making a coffin before, I wonder if there's much money in them? There's going to be a huge demand in the next few weeks.

    Lock Down?

    Just out of interest, have you had 'the letter' asking you to go back in?
  16. I have been self employed since being a teenager, that's been my choice. I've never claimed a benefit, and never want to. I've never had any loans or finance (apart from mortgage), all the machinery etc is mine 99% of my work is on my own, in rural areas, I have been socially distancing my whole life!! I wasn't working today, and plan on not working during the lock down. I had people on the phone today wanting to book me in! My work isn't essential. It can wait.
  17. Just searched my old emails to find out the date - I bought a set of 3M/Peltor "worktunes" radio earmuffs in 2015, direct from the USA on ebay. Since then they have had a huge amount of use, all year round, although I usually chicken out of using them when it's absolutely tipping it down. They run on 2 AA batteries, I use rechargeables, and it's probably been the same pair of batteries the whole time, you get a good few days work from a charge. The muffs are am/fm and 3.5mm input, although I've never used the jack. The sound quality is really good. You should be able to fit them to a helmet, the mountings look the same.
  18. Have you tried paper sacks? Then when the sack is empty it can be used for lighting the fire, reused, recycled, or composted?
  19. To be honest I paid less than than for a 2nd hand Waker, the real deal with a Honda engine. It has done a huge amount of work, doesn't owe me a penny. And is probably still worth what I paid for it?!
  20. There was a wifey on the telly news saying the shop was out of bog roll, "but it's alright, I've bought some kitchen towel"
  21. Just seen, CS100 with trailer on ebay/gumtree at the minute in the Highlands, looks tatty but still seems a keen price Greenmech CS100 Wood Chipper with trailer No VAT WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Well used CS100, always regularly serviced, runs well. The picture in the advert was taken a couple of years ago, so very... ,
  22. Just to drag up a really old thread................ This scam was on the phone again today. Woman with a Manc accent, which makes a change from the blokes with scouse accents that have been doing it for years Today's phone number was 0161 6969128
  23. I've seen a "bubble wrap" polytunnel locally in the flesh, it certainly looked the part (expensive no doubt!) Don't know what the life span of the plastic is, but just recently found out the brand name is Keder https://www.kedergreenhouse.co.uk
  24. Up in Shetland they're making strong polytunnels out of 2nd hand plastic pipe, timber and polycarbonate sheeting Polycrub | Storm Strength from Shetland WWW.POLYCRUB.CO.UK Polytunnel/greenhouse hybrid designed and built to withstand high wind speeds and the harshest of climates.
  25. Sounds like some good freebies, I would be round filling up the van!
