    WiFi in an old farmhouse

    We have wifi in the house but the size of the house and the thickness of walls makes it hard to get it around. It comes in from the office from a dish to a node in the house. How do we get it around the house more reliably? I don’t have a great understanding of WiFi so please use small simple words.

    Pickups and dogs

    I have an amarok, and generally have two terriers occupying the cabin with me. Whilst this is all very nice it does mean it is not the cleanest of places. Does anyone have a way of containing dogs in the cabin other than small cages? And no they won’t go in the back 🙄

    Galvanising

    I’m just in the process of making up some grills to go over the drain on a wash bay. I intend to get them galvanised but it’s been along time since I’ve had any to do. There’s no hollow section involved, it’s all flat and angle. How clean does it need to be and do I need to mark the pieces?

    17 year old student working hours

    We have had a 17 year old helping this harvest. I have tried to keep his hours down a bit from the others and give time off more regularly. When it came to do the pay run I was told that under 18 can only work a 40 hour week. Is this right or is it a mix interpretation of the laws/rules? Thank you
