Have wondered about those, not sure how hard it would be to connect to the whole house. A single ring I could probably do quite easily. Think you need proper sockets/plugs to do it safely rather than the technically works but you may die if you touch the pin kinda cable. Then just flip the circuit breaker to remove that ring from the grid.

But that wouldn't cover cooking or my heat pump. Not sure if that could properly be done as a DIY job.

Though doing 1 ring from the battery would make it pretty easy to measure my non cooking/heating energy usage. Suppose lighting is separate but that should be all LEDs anyway.

Russia used to have a lot of tanks left over from the soviet union. Ukraine has blown most of them up.

Electrified everything I own because fuck Putin. I think the next think to look at is a battery to use off peak energy. Just looked and it appears some much better capacity/£ options are available since I last looked. Its always looking more and more tempting but then I always think about what if I wait for the next one to come out which is even batter?

Alt F4 life has some creativity I can appreciate. Until everyone repeats it far too much. Tiktok just seems like the same few things repeated endlessly. I hear it on my partners phone. Oh, this 5 second soundtrack again that I have heard 2000 times before. How original... And then again when the video loops and repeats.

My partner just had a go at carving her name into some wood and she is pretty interested in doing more. I think woodcarving might become a couples activity.

I saw some broken fences on my way home from work, about 1km down a bike/bus only route.. How many fence boards can I fit on my bike?

Thanks, that is a lot of info!

I think the SC544 grinding wheel is designed specifically for wood, although a multipurpose one would be good if I look at a mix of materials. Either way a better grinding wheel is on my list for things to get when it's time to upgrade to more expensive bits. Those power carving bits are probably another one.

But first I think I need to make some things to justify further tool expenses XD

I often get told to take pictures vertically. Sure, let's get more sky in this picture. Its not like we are at the beach with a nice view on the horizon or anything. I live by the coast in Hampshire, the Isle of Wight is pretty much always in the background of any picture taken by the beach. At least it is when visibility is more than a couple of km.
