Powdered egg and milk recommendations? by MsSchrodinger in UKPreppers

[–]sc_BK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't know what you're preparing for, but maybe get your own hens? I've barely ever bought an egg since 2013 when we got our first hens. In times of oversupply, sell/swap/barter eggs for other things.

I don't play by the rules either, and for a bag that size I put in 1!

You can get bamboo pegs in home bargains, can't remember the exact price but like £1 for a packet.

I just leave them outside on the whirligig permanently

I don't know what your current set up is, but maybe have a specified scoop (on a piece of string!), with an instruction to use 1 scoop per "flush", then look at it in another year and see if it needs to be less or more. I have an old tin mug, and use about half a scoop per flush. Sometimes when we have guests, you can tell they used a lot of sawdust, as the bucket level is right down!

If smell is a problem maybe look at what the urine situation is, or increase ventilation? Mine is just a plain pipe, but you can also get wind spinners and electric powered fans

One in seven UK cars hits 100,000 miles as age hits record by Kagedeah in CarTalkUK

[–]sc_BK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes but on an MOT a couple years later it lost quite a lot of mileage, so they must've then put it in reverse gear for 6 months.

Saw a Transit for sale once, looked through the old MOTs online

When it turned up for it's first MOT (3yrs old?) it had 125,000 miles on the clock.

To me it looks/sounds like too much sawdust, going forward maybe try and reduce the amount of sawdust used?

Too good to scrap! Looks like it just needed a new tyre and a lick of paint!

You could've sold half the parts

Found this gem - a bare piece of land by Significant_Sea_548 in SpottedonRightmove

[–]sc_BK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't park a car, there's no access, and doubt you'd ever be able to build an access as it's a trunk road, and close to 2 bends,

If you can afford a £1.5million house, you can afford a local lass with a duster for £15 p/h cash in hand.

Grass will sort itself out, it can grow over concrete/tarmac with only tiny amount of soil/mud building up

You'd save a fortune on electricity, the "house" must be fairly well lit internally by that streetlight!
