think we got off lightly!
Perhaps then, an nice office job would suit you, tucked away from the reality of nature lol.
No, it had gotten a preemptive strike in on my ankles.Hope you gave it a good kicking first
Was thinking this this morning weardale has no electric until early next week at the earliest how would we all survive with electric cars and nosolid fuel firesFound out this morning that a second home owner in the village can't get back to where his main home is because his electric car battery is flat, which is stuck in his garage because his electric garage door can't be opened manually and he also has no water because his hi tech water filtration system needs electric to work the pump ! Hahahaha
I have a bore hole (with a submersible pump 200' down), and my biggest fear of a power cut is no water!Was thinking this this morning weardale has no electric until early next week at the earliest how would we all survive with electric cars and nosolid fuel fires
yes and no one would want to come and log the trees if they weren’t allowed to burn the logs .Was thinking this this morning weardale has no electric until early next week at the earliest how would we all survive with electric cars and nosolid fuel fires
What hit that or was it just the wind ?Plenty trees down, plenty roofs damaged but feel this one is the most surprising

The guy is a moron then.Found out this morning that a second home owner in the village can't get back to where his main home is because his electric car battery is flat, which is stuck in his garage because his electric garage door can't be opened manually and he also has no water because his hi tech water filtration system needs electric to work the pump !

Just the windWhat hit that or was it just the wind ?
There was a run of nh tractors built where the bolts for the roof came loose and fell out, maybe it was missing a few.Plenty trees down, plenty roofs damaged but feel this one is the most surprising

Power been off for 46 hours now, not likely to be back on in the next 24. Menu is Tea, toast, soup and boiled eggs a la wood stove
Only had 3 trees down over the road. Couple of old oaks have been relieved of a limb or 2.
Got off pretty light though compared to a neighbour who spent 5 hours on the chainsaw cutting his way out of his farm.
There’s very little room under the grate but parents stove in the farm house would be better suited for that.Is your wood stove suitable to bake potatoes and vegetables in the ashes under the grate with a good fire above? Oil some aluminium foil, and wrap them up well.
Or make a slow cooked stew in a shallow roaster tray well sealed against falling ash?

Was thinking about this today and the electric issue and people today are not of the mindset to think ahead for the next day or two with what the weather might do and the country will be at standstill when they are all on ecocars ...... oh well every cloud ....at least we can carry on getting about in a combustion engine and no one on the roads to get in the way .......why would you leave your car flat when we have a storm warning
Get yourself one of these for next time, or a generator.Power been off for 46 hours now, not likely to be back on in the next 24. Menu is Tea, toast, soup and boiled eggs a la wood stove
