New Tractor Shed
awemawson:
Then I wired up a double Ethernet socket placed close to where I want a camera pointing at the building works. The idea is that one of the two Cat5e cables coming from the main workshop will be patched through to the Tractor Shed, and the other feeds the Hub which services local needs like this camera.
Having run basic tests on the wiring using my handy two part cable tester I then crammed in the tiny hub and patched things ready for the camera.
From the Woodwork Shop there is a 4" corrugated duct going under the rammed base for the Tractor Shed. This will be intercepted when the concrete pads have gone off, and brought up via large radius bends into the shed itself. This will take the full works (Water & Air in 25 mm MDPE, a 50 amp 3 phase feed, and 6 pair telephone cable and two Cat5E ethernet cables
So the next job is to prepare the cabinet to terminate the start of this duct in the workshop. Anything further will have to wait until the shed is up.

Hi there, Andrew,
When I last posted I hadn't actually opened the soil sample paper envelope. When I did so, I was pleased to discover that your inner plastic bag was un-breached. There was some material in the Royal Mail outer bag and in the paper envelope but it didn't seem to have come from the main sample.
I had a quick look (Mk 1 eyeball, no microscope) and my first impression is that the sample is very fine-grained. The standard definition of 'sand' is that sand particle sizes range from 1/16 mm up to 2 mm. I think the particle size in your sample is toward the bottom end of that range. (2 mm and above is gravel while < 1/16 mm is 'silt' or clay.)
That's all I've done on that topic today - I've been preoccupied with trying to remember where I saw the post from someone wanting a redundant surface plate.
Maybe I dreamed it!!! :scratch: :bang: :scratch: :bang: :scratch: :bang:

Pete don't worry about loosing your marbles, I had an encounter with BT today that at least confirmed that I've retained mine.
I got an email from them saying that my 'Broadband discount' was coming to an end, so I tried to log on to the BT site to see what the discount was, but couldn't. No paper bills as they went paperless so no joy there, so I went to my bank account to at least find what I was paying, and found that they have been DD'ing £98.45 every month since September. :bugeye: Looked on the web, saw I should be paying around £30 for unlimited calls and broadband, so called them and poked them with a stick. Ah yes there's an accounting error - you have a credit of £377. Well pay it back says I - no they say we can only pay £220 back :bang: This went down like a lead balloon and did wonders for my temper. Official complaint, then I get put though to 'Account Retention' who say they can do me a renewal for £27.99 pm for a 12 month contract. OK says I. Complaints department rings up this afternoon to confirm complaint closed (I've had the refund) and new account starting at £37.99 per month. No says I that WASN'T what was agreed, it was £27.99. Oh no we had it in 'Emma's Notes on our system' and that's what she says was agreed. No problem says I, you say you record all calls, play it back :ddb:
Chap rings back with his tail between his legs and has to agree that my memory is better than their system - there IS a god :clap:
SwarfnStuff:
Good for you Andrew, a win for the consumer at last.
You just demonstrated why I will not sign up to any DD (Direct Debit). Don't trust anyone to not mess up or worse, rip me off. I fight to retain paper billing too, electronic stuff way easier to lose - up in the ether someplace? OR my very vigilant spam filter may gobble it.
Hope the rest of the build goes smoothly. (I was going to say swimmingly) but given the "fun" so far thought better of it.
