And they make a better wet (sorry cuppa / brew)
-
Brilliant 👍😆

Might have to try this, that scratchy feeling as the chips work their way down the leg soon gets boring lol. I'm using Oregon button braces on Stihl trousers. Had to resew the buttons as they came loose, the braces seem to wear the thread after a few weeks as I lost a button the other day

I do believe the wind hitting the front of the defender would eddy across them holding them to the wing, that is until the speed and eddy position changed

Speaking of raspberries. What about pick your own strawberry field. Our local one has gooseberries raspberries and a few other soft fruits. Plus they sell jams etc
-
I get it occasionally. I either delete then reload the app or turn off the iPhone then back on
-
That's an a'maize'ing idea lol
-
I'd look into getting a few military first field dressings. If it goes wrong with a saw it'll probably be quite nasty.
-
Haha true. Best do it the old way with puddled clay
-
Might be a problem there! Solution Clay liner. Saw on grand designs a carpet like material with clay granules in which when wet they join together. They used it to line the outside of the basement to keep water out
-
Wash on Wednesday and weekend unless wet or really dirty
-
I wash mine on a 40 deg setting and then spin after the wash has ended. Turned inside out on the radiator they're ready for the morning

But is his a petting farm. My kids loved stroking and hand feeding the hens (So did I. Shhh don't tell anyone lol)
-
On the second pic the red areas are the lakes. Only thing to consider is not putting carp with trout. The carp will stir up the mud, trout like it clear You need around 1/2 acre for certified location. Also you could have hens and sell free range eggs. It all depends on how involved you want to be Thought about a petting farm. We visit a local one (set in 3acres) http://www.highfieldshappyhens.co.uk/

Not a bad shout. looked into buying a course lake, think the paperwork said £25000ish turnover per annum. Think they charged £10 for a ticket, £15 for 2 rods. All he had to do was walk round the lake twice a day collecting money. (I know there's behind the scene stuff to do too but one established I wouldn't have thought too much) Like 5shires said £30 per day for a trout lake is going rate. Then you can add boat hire, and price per fish if they keep for eating. Get a static or portacabin on site and sell abit of tackle. Also if you can get certified location from the caravan club (max 5 'vans) you can charge £8+ per night depending on the facilities offered.

Plant trees. After seeing loads of ads looking for hardwood it'd seem daft not to, ok it'll take a few years. Maybe think coppicing Ash to give constant return. Also hazel to make hurdles etc was going to get some for fence panels but they were after £45 each for a 6x6 panel. For the time being maybe an offroad / quad pay and play site. A twisty course around clumps of tree
-
Have you thought about raising the workpiece? There was a thread about carving tables a whole back, people talking about motorbike scissor lifts and cable reels etc
-
If you turn down the brightness, then turn off 3G, email push/fetch and location services it's not too bad. I'd rather plug it in more lol. Agreed with vehicle charger. Charge overnight then as required during the day with fag lighter
-
Have to do bath preps first. Need to empty the ballast tank so I don't sink.
-
Snap. I go though the days posts whilst waiting for the bath to fill.
-
Watched a grand designs where a charcoal maker built a house in the middle if the woods because he needs to monitor the burning to make charcoal from sweet chestnut.
-
👍 Also like instrumental classical and brass band
-
Yea it's good. TKF had just started advertising in quest as my course started
-
I did a few days as a subbie. But as I didn't have any kit I wasn't making massive amounts, just killing some time during resettlement leave. It paid enough for me to get some trousers & boots (Oregon waipoua & Stein shadows) < there're probably the cheapest ppe you can as a start. Also got a silky (zubat). I then answered an ad on here and now I'm working full time, and I got put through my PTS so I can work on the railway.

I did mine at Kingswood training services last year. Brilliant course, if imagine TKFs would follow a similar vein. Take a look at my 'diary' thread from the course http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=59532
