That's exactly what I want and at a price I can afford.

Re: Garage Freezer: Beware
You can get freezers that are suitable for outbuidings and are ok down to -15.
I know this because I bought one but it lives in the house now due to my incompetence with a tape measure.

Re: Torches.
I've got one of those. It sits in my torch box and is almost never used. Much prefer the Olight S2 which lives in my pocket all the time. https://www.olightstore.uk/s2r-baton-ii.html

Re: How much wood?
There are variations in coal too. 100+ years ago the Royal Navy used to ship Welsh coal to their coaling stations around the world as they reckoned they could get another 1-2 knots out of it.

Re: Heating Rooms with no mains power
I follow a couple of self-build camper groups on Facebook and there is a lot of talk of "Chinese Diesel Heaters"
Would one of them do the needful ?

Re: Tiny house
Planning permission isn't enforcible after 4 years if the building is in plain sight. That's why the feller that built behind hay bales was pursued; he had sought to deceive. Whether planting trees/bushes would be considered disguising would be down to a court to decide (my gut feeling is that if a ...

Re: Whetstones
I know that a lot of folks like to collect knives, and that is great. A nice blade is a lovely thing, but the prices of some of them make me cringe! Then again, I spend inordinate sums on fishing gear :lol: Mind you , I do use and abuse that too.How you spend your dough is up to you. I always fanci...

Re: Tanker Drivers Ballot 9th October 2020

It had a minor fault which didn't affect the driving and I took it back to the garage to fix it. Day after I dropped it off the refineries got blocked and there was no fuel. The bloke "fixing...

Re: Whetstones
Most of my knives were about a tenner, Most of mine were in the £50-£100 range, a few over £100 (and a couple well north of that). Many of them have never cut anything. I don't want to sharpen them on something that removes a lot of stock, which is what a steel or "pull-through" carbide does. It's ...
