Wouldn't it be better to put a hatch in the end of the apex roof rather than cut into the container? I think so too, the container is nicely sealed - why cut a hole in it ? I actually have quite a bit of space underneath the container, it could be used for storage, although my container is next to ...

Looking at the two most important factors - warmth and water - I'm wondering if a tealight type candle placed inside the Kelly kettle would warm up water enough to make a passable cup of tea. It might require an insulating jacket around the Kelly kettle, and possibly some kind of baffle to keep the ...

A keen gardener I know collects vegetable scraps from the local café, they are happy to help. Potentially, there are many other sources now that pigs are no longer allowed to eat kitchen scraps, including school / works canteens and even supermarket bins.

Mine is above ground, on concrete blocks, and lined with combination plasterboard/insulation ( a shee...

Hi all. I'm Catweazle, bred in Kent but for the last few years living and working in Pembrokeshire. I realized some time ago that the future was not as bright as the past has been, on account of the UK living on borrowed money, so decided to cash in my stupidly over-priced house and land in Kent for...
