Like the symmetry of the lamps in front of the arches but why the insulated bed?  |

Lovely place Barney you have there! after you've added the tri-iso or equivalent, do you have to fit false beams back on top?

My first recollection of tinkering was wiring a 240v radio cord to a 9v motor to my technic Lego truck, it ended with setting the kitchen on fire!............................I couldn't sit down for two days!

Part of the GSHP system one of the three slinky trenches. A beautiful August day - actually stopped raining for a few minutes. Mind the potatoes! And underfloor...

Hi all
may after a few years finally be able to do a deal with the local farmer regarding land. Here is a potential site for the wind turbine. The horizon is fairly clear apart from the direction of the Chapel. Is this going to be far enough away (c 100 m). Will site an anemometer for about a year before getting a turbine. But would welcome comments.

definite anemometer job, bin the data for a year, and go from there  There is "another way" to go -if you can swing consent and connection, (and have a reasonable windspeed), go for an 80 or 250KW turbine, and become a net exporter - in a good spot, they can pay back very fast. The big thing about them is their size........they tend to come with a thumping great tower that gets them up above most turbulence |

If you are in a good wind area it is worthwhile talking to neighbouring farmers. Putting up a few turbines saves on individual costs for connecting to the grid.

Well
time to actually implement something. The strut is due to arrive next week but can at least get the mounting system started. Here are some photos of the first hanger bolt - will loosen slightly and inject some high quality silicone when all the vbolts are in place
4 pics
1) Showing rafter line and construction
2) Showing tools. The slate ripper is a great toy
3) The first of 21 hanger bolts in place am thinking about more waterproof features
4) The view to the south. The two poplars may have to go..
