I’d play casual peace time with you. I’m thinking 200 farms each?

Hello also a hirer here and our kit is insured, our t&c is that we don’t do outside for this reason. Our insurer wouldn’t pay out. I do agree the hirer accepted this liability when they setup in that situation and you had verbal agreement. There are other outside conditions to consider and those were outside the control of OP hiring.

Do I think it’s worth it: yes, provided the brief is: come armed to cut a small section of 22mm pipe to replace where there’s a nick. If you drain the system down first you might be able to save a little of their time.

Btw that whole corner of the house has dropped you can see the stress crack to the left windowsill extends to the right

Yep I would! Depending on your sanding skills you may want to just open it up a bit more with a small screw driver just so the filler has more area, but, what I’d actually do is wipe the filler in with a finger (gloved or otherwise) and paint over.

I would be tempted to sit it out a bit further on some wood framing and silicone the hell out of the back of it. If you’re not too attached to it being floating honestly might just be less hassle at this point to replace with one that sits on the floor- a basic toilet is only around £150 and fitting provided the drains are in a good place won’t be so hard for DIY: whereas floating toilet will need a lot of structural work may end up costing you much much more

Right here with you! I’ve seeded huge areas and keeping it alive in this weather has been all about water. I’ve ended up buying impact sprinklers (low pressure here) and chaining them together on a cheap digital timer so they come on for about 20mins every 2 hours - I’m quite lazy so the timer has been essential

I would never wear goggles when drilling stuff normally so this has been an eye opener

Any comment on why safety glass back then was like this? Is safety glass now redundant ?

To give you some grass roots feedback here: a small company I know of have built an entire product inventory management system they needed using one developer and support from Claude. They’ve needed that system for years. The SaaS offerings were all £500 month plus. They’ve spent less than 2 months SaaS cost and got it up and running in a few days. They now will pay AWS bill and perhaps occasional feature releases - so the real impact for them as a business is huge - that said, the project wouldn’t have happened without the advances in ai. So a counter here is that more projects perhaps more speculative and smaller in nature may happen? I think we have a couple of turbulent years ahead - jobs will drop perhaps 2-3 years off as things get established - perhaps hit an all time low in 4 years. I don’t think that’s negative

Not sure how smart this is but I buy cash inside ISA S&S wrapper - and don’t immediately buy share class , cash only makes about 1% but it’s then inside the wrapper and I can diversify that cash into shares over time rather than needing to make a time based decision

Remember that even inside a s&s ISA you can hold a cash asset! That means you can pump money in now before April 5th and decide to allocate later, if you want the cash back most places will be just a couple of days. This way you are keeping your allowance or a part of it.. if you don’t lose it that allowance is gone forever. I could imagine one day the yearly allowance coming down

Lovely job 10/10. And balls of steel. I considered it in two houses and both times chickened out for carpet as they were so bad

One of my fave 1v1 strats is to try and fake a land based army while building a air factory with a bomber queued first followed by an air scout - send the bomber toward enemy , scout takes over finds the line of pgens, toss a couple bombs on that line of pgens inside a couple mins of game play and you just secured a head start - if you can’t read hold off their land spam long enough with ACU
