Explained: Why Is Electricity So Expensive In Norway Right Now? WWW.LIFEINNORWAY.NET If you live in Norway, you can’t fail to have noticed high electricity prices just lately. Here’s what’s causing the skyrocketing... This article is from September and shows a ten fold increase in electricity costs per unit. As I said, many I know have been paying over £500 a month for Electricity. Some significantly higher than that.

The one for Norway is a load of BS for a start. I know loads who have been paying what’s stated for the year each month.

Now you do? 🤷♂️

Yeh, certainly met a few snivelling cowards on and off-line.

Got hit over the back of the neck in Brazil a few weeks ago. Nearly collapsed but when I kept upright they ran off. 🤷♂️ Was a busy beach so I assume they wanted an easy target,

Where Do You Chuck Your Stove Ash?

It’s a good idea if you don’t mind your paths ending up a grey sludgy mess that gets dragged into at least the Boot Room. -
When did you turn into a Dog?

I’m certainly not blind to how many will view the situation here.

Good to know Dave. I’ll get back to you on that if my mate does not pull his finger out. 🤣

I need the father-in-law to rebuild the scaffold and repoint the next chimney breast. I’d best forget the automation. 😁

It’s more for aesthetics to be honest. Plus it will keep the wee ones from wandering down to the road when they’re playing in the garden. Will keep the dogs contained as well.

There is braces on the bottom half of the gates in the picture. It rains so much round here they’ll never dry. 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve thankfully resolved most of the issues with my neighbours. We resolved the shared driveway issue by installing a 2m high fence right across the drive. 🤣 He insisted on it thinking we wanted to retain access to his drive. 🤷♂️ Now he’s decided he does not like the fence I put in on our boundary. The fence he asked me to build which would (I’m my mind) be the same style as all the other fencing I’ve put around the property. So when I was getting logs in after working away for two weeks I see he’s started to clad his side of my fence with feather edge. 🙄

That’s the plan. A mate is an Oak Framer so most likely get him to do it and swap for firewood. I’ve already sunk in 6” Oak Posts either side of the Drive. Will need to look into them. I was gonna use field gate hinges so glad you mentioned that. Good info there. Can’t see me going for Motors. But you never know in the future I might get sick of opening and closing them.

Good points there. Not the road I want to go down though. Im thinking more rustic. 😁

Times are a changing Mull. I watched the game last night and was rooting for England. Very few in either my social or work circle wanted England to lose, most have little interest in Football of course but they would still be happy to see them win. But then very few in either are SNP supporters so don’t have this pathological anti-English drive that is so prevalent with the SNP and those that support the Party.

Another good point! Cheers.

Good point! Closest I can find after a quick google search is this.

So they’ll move regardless if it’s green oak or seasoned? To me there’s little point in wasting seasoned timber on a project that will move as much (or little) as green.

Very nice!

Im planning on making, or having a set of gates made with my own Oak. Its to cover the span of my drive which is about 3m wide. Im thinking two gates mating upo instead of one gate to save on warping and twisting. So around 1.5m wide gates. My question is can I use green oak for this project? Im thinking as they'll be untreated and out in the elements it should be fine. And as they are so short the issues of using green timber should be minimised. Any thoughts?

Love that! Very clever.

A ton?
