- Start date
the fookin' storm has put our boiler out and it ain't gonna re-light until the wind drops
Went to see dad this morning but he was asleep. I thought he'll wake up soon. He didn't but every time I gave him a lil prod and called his name, he farted. He did this 3 times. So after an hour and a half I went home. There was more wind in that room than from the storm.
No bike stuff today but....
Finished the lights in the firepit.
Added in a Y-Piece into the drainpipe so the boiler doesnt back up (so the Worcester Bosch guy instructed me to do)
Changed water softener on the fridge...
Sat down watching the Great Escape...got myself a 4k re-master....
Fork oil change on the SXV will have to wait til next week.

Did it rain so much that your shed shrunk
That’s next door - to the West funnily enoughDid it rain so much that your shed shrunk
Did one of the bikes break out and go for a ride by itself ?
The neighbour doesn't have any bikes?
it's been a bit windy today
My neighbours ridge tile blew off and was precariously resting ready to go through his conservatory roof with the next really strong gust.
He’s scared of heights evidently so came knocking on my door to see if I could help.
I took my ladder round and climbed on his roof to retrieve it. He shook my hand and thanked me and I’m thinking fook that I drink wine or whiskey!
I think Exige has some for sale.

Dont mean to sound rude but if you built a proper fence instead of that typical english shit, ya might not have this problem.
I agree drop-in panel fences are utter shit but they're not typically English. They're typical post-1970's cheap skating since US-style DIY stores with shitty imported timber took over from proper builders merchants, saw mills and home-grown timber.
If it was me I'd put up shadow-box fencing. Provides privacy with enough light and air for plants to grow on either side and doesn't catch the wind so completely that it blows away in the first storm. Does require a certain amount of collaboration with your neighbours to get it built though.
Better still, put your hand in your pocket and get a good English bricklayer round to build a proper wall...
Most cost- and time- effective fencing, apart from perhaps hedging (impractical for small gardens), is concrete posts with drop-in panels.
The posts don't blow over or rot and if you lose a panel, you drop a new one in.
As long as you don't do anything stupid, like staining or treating the wood on a yearly basis, your effort & financial outlay is minimal.
I do like shadow box fencing (my Dad installed that in his garden in the 80s) but... wooden posts. A few years later, you're starting from scratch.
All opinions are equal but they are all equally bad (apart from mine, obviously).

Wooden posts can last for donkey's years if you use the right timber and set them in the right way. Imported tanalised timber is utter shite. The EU banned years ago the chemical that actually preserves the timber so you'll be lucky to see five years out of posts before they start to rot off at ground level - especially if it's shit stuff like spruce.
If you're setting square posts into the ground and you want them to last, first use a naturally resinous and long lasting species like western cedar, or oak if you've got deep pockets, and then line the bottom of the post hole with washed shingle so it drains and paint the portion of the post that will be set in the ground with a bitumen sealant like Blackjack or Aquaproof to two inches above finished ground level, but don't paint the end-grain so that water can drain out. They'll last for decades.
Leaving the post ends to soak in creosote will work too - if you can find proper creosote - but it will poison the soil around the posts. Bitumen won't.

Leave the stakes standing in an old oil drum half filled wth creosote and old engine oil. for a month or two before use.
Stake usually rot off "twixt wind and water" i.e. at ground level, that's the bit that needs the treatment most.

Meh. You forgot the bit about sacrificing a baby. The correct ritual is *everything*.
The panels here are 26 euros each and last around 20 years not bad value for how cheap they areThis fence lasted just over 20 years although I had to replace one post about 5 years ago - I was going to replace it all last year with concrete posts so will bodge this for now and do it next year...
