In the garden I have a water butt that feeds off the steel shed. This then feeds 3 120ltr barrels tucked out the way. Indoors I have 2 120ltr vessels that are always topped up. If I need to consume the water outside I intend to strain it through a millbank type fabric filter and then boil. I have a ...

The older churches were built very well. They were built to last and your background will help in any restoration projects you may encounter. They certainly don't build them like they used too. If secured with heavy doors, mesh covering those potentially large windows and well stocked up with suppli...

http://www.uk-preppers.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=9236 I've dealt with numerous local authorities and the definitive answer to your question about planning permission is that NOBODY IN AUTHORITY CAN GIVE A DEFINITIVE ANSWER! Sounds strange but it's a grey area. With regard to building regs...

Saw this article back in December last year. Looks a really good option but it wont take off. The reason for that is because our local authorities are scared to tackle the homeless / housing shortage problem. Its been going on for years and years. It could've been solved a long time ago. http://www....

One word of caution that occurred to me when watching sky news yesterday: They were talking about the amount of people growing wacky backy, secret growing facilities and undercover journalism etc etc. Now one of the sites filmed was an underground bunker, the chap filmed was wearing a gas mask to h...

Depends on the ground conditions, is it clay; mud, sandstone, chalk, shale??? But as I have previously stated, just use a pipe!! Cheaper and far far easier....... no engineering skills are needed. I'm totally with you on that one. Some of corrugated pipes are designed to be buried 2 - 7 metres belo...

So what would you use as foundations/footings ? Wet soggy mud :lol: Silly billy :lol: If you excavate to approx 8" below the original trench level you can chuck in and tamper down your hardcore then pour the slab. You can sheet the base with a heavy DPM or even a rubberised pond liner beforeha...

Again, not quite that simple! I would like to see you (or anyone) try and dig a 2m deep 3-600mm wide trench, place the reinforcement and pour the concrete, with the trench remaining intact! The bottom 3 foot would be full of loose soil and the top of the trench would be 6 foot wide ;) Aargh, I forg...

Yeah I was thinking the container would stay in place after the concrete went in, painted before hand to prevent corrosion. The alternative if building a concrete bunker would be to form the shutter in timber and remove afterwards which would be expensive (although comparible to using a container?)...
