Re: Building my home

Looking good.
Have you watched George Clarke's Small Spaces on C4 ? Some good stuff on there, might be a source of ideas.

I'm thinking of buying a van and converting it and I will be looking at being able to "fold out" when parked to increase space.

Re: Civilian destroyed after eating MRE's

Re: A GSM alarm system for a shed, suggestions

I don't know of any "off the shelf" systems but making one using an arduino and GSM shield should be pretty straightforward.

How far is it from the house ? Is running a (low voltage) cable out of the question ?
