Yep, the previous owners failed to keep rodents out and suffered with catastrophic power and water leaks. I on the other hand had a regular pest controller out, had the bottom two rows of tiles wired and wire wooled and expanding foamed all...
Had a nice run out in me tratter today, 60 mile round trip to visit dottir, and do a couple of jobs while I was there. Took the country roads there n back, lovely drive. Back at Wimblowdriver Towers now, second chilled Guiness drunk an off to the...
Reminds me of a job I was on in the early eighties. The old boy who was the tea boy and breakfast cooker was a soldier in North Africa during WW2, told us that they were rationed to one square of bog roll per day (the slippy, hard type). They had...

Got some respite from kidney pain till stone moves again, making the most of it 🙂
Beef, spuds and cabbage for tea, that's a salad to me :D
Painted one of trucks wheels, got Daresbury Steam Show at weekend

So it only took 2.30 this morning to clear one half of the loft, 30 bags zip tied off, hoovered and bleached. Daughter helped. I’ve bought all the ppe, hepa vacuum, paid her £300 and still come in £2k under quote skip dependant. Same task again...
Truble is you are not supposed to leave standing water around as it encourages tiger mosquito. Which is a real bore as it means I have to fit the water reservoir pump each time we want to use it. The hole is covered by a concrete manhole cover.
Don't envy you the task at all. Small parcels of it shoved into bin-liners and tied off and lobbed thru the hatch. For each "goal" reward yourself with 1 ice-cold beer. Job "jobbed" in no time. Are you vacuuming out all the "bits" too?
Exacerbated by being in a Tyvex suit with a ffp face mask on 🤣 It’s my own fault, I could’ve paid the £3k the contractor wanted to do the job. I just channelled my inner @kevstar and thought the money would be better spent on a tractor.
I have the unenviable task of removing 30 year old loft insulation today. Unavoidably the task day is set for today and tomorrow. Having been up there last week, it is like a furnace.
But what happens the morning you are having a particularly reluctant poop and you can’t sit with your feet up against the door? And if you over ‘pushed’ and passed out, it could get messy if you’re only squatting 😳😳😱😱
Friends of ours down the road, they are pretty veggy,off the grid, use natural materials, where they can. They live in a Yurt with a few extensions (green house) and have solar panels.
They chuck their compost toliet contents into the chicken...
Well that is interesting, as we chuck the cleaned out contents of the chicken shed on ground to use as fertiliser for our veg!
What goes around comes around as they say!!
I have heard that squatting "A la turque" is good for you. Personally I...
No squiggle is inherently evil. Some squiggles however, make poor life choices.
It starts with just one nut from the hands of a human, then two, then three. Until the poor squiggle is so dependent on the human nut supply that he forgets how to...
The last chapter will contain evidence that "evil Squiggle" killed "Dr Squiggle" with a nut from the back door and used on the garage roof.
Do I win 🤔 :p.

So, with the good weather being back, I am halfway through cleaning out and restrawing the henhouse.
Tis funny the way they fuss around when I have to invade their space!
And once redone they'll be back in moving the furniture around until it is...
