I'll be deuced if I don't know that man. Damn your eyes and capital to have you on the ship, Joskin. (For everybody's interest; Steve, like I, drives a weapon of distinction).

If you just tell these people that you would need to ask your landlord before making any changes to the house you rent from him, they waste no time in hanging-up the 'phone. Do this even if you're a home-owner. We get them here in France and my house is entirely my own. But this is the reaction...

Welcome, from another forum newbie...also from England...but in France.

Well seeing the 12v pump/ solar-topped battery ideas you have in-mind, keeping all where it is sited is probably the tide I'd swim with. Eco re-charge and a pump that works when the water has got low. Great solution, Brian.:thumbup:

This is the stuff, Brian...making use of available resources. I don't know what your space is there, but it's a pity the first two couldn't be sited at above head height and the second ones a little higher. Then, plumbed to the sink or any other tap in your garage, you could guarantee a decent...

That is the staircase on-which envy is based :pimpflash Very solid affair. Great set-up all-round.

It's difficult to tell, Sam. The house is about 160 years old, some unspecific time after-which the barn was built. Then the farmer of old decided an open-ended hangar was needed at the end of the whole long building, more as a place to park the cattle throughout the Winter, I think. I've seen...

Howdy, fellow garage-loiterers. Drew be the name and I'm a bloke from England who moved to France in 2007. And the big plus of buying the little smallholding we have is that it came with both a barn and an almighty hangar, which I rapidly named 'Hangar-18' (being as I live at no.18...and it's a...
