thats looking great mate , had to laugh about the cat

No excuses not cleaning the dumper after having concrete in it , but .... An sds drill with a chisel bit makes easy work of it. Don't ask me how i know.

Great work Richard. Amazed at the amount of energy that you have. Still, good to set yourself a goal and achieve this. One of them a handful of best channels here. Thank you 👏👌

What did u do too fix that

never ending mate but its looking good, it will all come together in the end ,,, if there is an end lol great watch as always and nice tan buddy

Hi Richard! That's great to know. Lime is wonderful stuff!!!

I always comes here for tips and motivation to keep looking forward... ❤ this channel and you and your Mrs are doing a great job keep it up you two the place is looking great. I remember when you started the bothy!! Look now at the transformation from then excellent especially considering hours you guys work 👍

This Scottish policy is flawed and a wasted opportunity, because it limits huts and renovations to 30m2. But there are thousands of ruined stone blackouses across the highlands which are typically 35m2. Which are therefore too small to become houses, but are too big to be restored for recreational or intermittent use. I made a submission to the consulation, and said please make an exception for existing black houses ruins which are >40m2 but this fell on deaf ears.

Well you are not wrong. That is one very lightweight land rover. 😂

The idea of using diffuse solar for power makes some sense to me... not very efficient, but more constant power...

ooof. those chassis are super rusty, how much is a brand new replacement ?

👀🙄🐾👍

You give great info on here about the damp Richard. Theres a lot of experts out there who lack true expertise and ends up costing people a lot of their well-earned dosh. Loved that programme by the way - if anyone can remember it. Rising Damp. Class 🐝

Good information. Yes, it is difficult to be recognised when you move into the countryside at first. But another bit of help, when you move into the countryside, find the nearest post office and introduce yourself and bring ID and any other documents and leave them copies. Go to your nearest neighbours and do the same. Local delivery companies/trades/builders etc. Put signs up on the road with Council permission if necessary. There are so many other things you could do, but another day for that.

Good video thanks.Slow but good progress. Your doing fab🙏

Are you from Tyson Furys area

I went from 0 solar knowledge to now, the all in one was a good option for a diy newbie, aside from the 16 batteries 15 connections to the inverter +6 for the pv fuses, luckily, I had a brilliant solar dealer, cold weather Pb C batteries 11kw charge rate, next week 2kw with the sun behind the mountain at 6pm. Check out CS battery, Lead carbon can be run down to 0%, safer than vented lead acid no balancing, bmbs or temp sensors, 1 cycle per 3 days over 16 yrs life left on mine. Massachusetts had 58 lithium fire deaths in 2023, Even LiPO4 can transform into a volcano. If your battery has a built-in fire extinguisher it is not safe. I had one or 2 tell me high frequency inverters fry your electronics, mmm I couldn't find a single video or article for that so I ordered a backup inverter for next year, I had to swap a bad firmware inverter took 12mins. I heard the new Amen Solar really all in one has some good features, they added LP standard, dc breaker, ac breakers, and pv breakers. Maybe with 30k subs they might give you one free with a review.

looking good mate one job at a time slow n steady wins the race , great viewing

Rising damp doesn’t exist? Someone tell my walls 😂

Keeping it in good order!

Stormdry seems to get recommended a lot for soft brick.👍

I own 6 acres of a agricultural land. I am a gypsy/traveller. Is there any way I can place my caravan/static in my land and live on it? Scotland.

Your website link is out of date, bud, you'll need to use Wayback Machine to get it working again.

Please keep up the good work

have you looked at sunsynk inverters

That was it exrtaction fans, sometime you can give extration fans a helping hand via direction pipes, exiting pointing up and entering a pipe starting from near the ground or what ive do is made it suck air off the ground with enough room for in not to pick up any dust.

5:26. Careful some people consider Taiwan part of China!

6mm cable lol. Would just about run my doorbell!

offend ? never mate its your view and whats happening to you and your way of living,,, youve never ever gave bad advise , all your vids are from heart and trying to help people , great watch as always buddy

What ive learned over the passed few years is that anybody can post a video and put thier own voice over or any voice over any video, so some where down the line someone may have over voiced him or you aiming at each other and organising the both of you or a look alike to create conflicts, a sociopath is never on a video or camera, ive had pics of peple i thought where great, turned out to be a sociopath, all pics gone !! off phones social media, everywhere, its spooky

Great video, can you confirm the land doesn't need to have planning permission granted in order to confirm postcode address?

This is why i dont do social media anymore, sure i got targeted for a social media suicide, this is first year in 10 years i feel i can do anything with tv or computers, I think now i mite be targeted now something to do with inheritance, where your made realy lonely and leave your belongings to an animal sanctuary ! i dont mined the lonelyness, i just dont have much to give, lol. Polyntech good if you have 4 or more, was told the cables can only take a certain current, so buying anything else you can make your own cables, seplos mason kit are the biggest bang for your buck at the moment. I get it now, its like wifi separates or engine components.

I can never understand people that ask for advice then spit there dummy out at the end of the day your taking your time to help them if you can't take criticism then don't ask for advice.

Just did the hard math, every 3.5m down from your your 57Degrees solar pannels on the 15degrees roof facing south would give you a 1 in 5 shadow length, if that roof is 7m in width you can have 3 rows of 1m high for the december sun for a few hours, lowering the first row by a few degrees and second row a few more will decrease the shadow length, giveing you you longer production but less power, you can by single axis actuators controllers with wind safe modes, the actuators are tall so i was going to put a 12v scissor car jack underneth which would lie the pannels flat to the roof for the summer months.

If all else fails - get a narrowboat! Can't go properly self sufficient due to no land to grow food on - but it is an excellent life with "relative" freedom. ❤

I bet if a certain group went onto the land they wouldnt go near them.

You fitted a new battery? Just because you have charged the battery doesn't mean its accepting the charge. Put a volt meter across the battery and try starting it, the voltage should drop to around around 11v. If it drops alot lower, battrry is goosed.

Is it just flickering there? Difficult to tell whats going on other than looks like your trying to jump start? Might be a faulty ground if youve already ruled out the battery being rubbish?

this might sound like a daft question but il ask anyway i want to run appliances in my shed with this type of invertor can i just add a 4 gang plug toi the ac out and then plug stuff in like printers e.c.t or not cos im a bit confused, i get the solar bit coming in its the ac bit thats confusing me so can i or not

The Honda Oydessy os very popular with construction contractors.

Hi, very informative video. My scenario is to be buying a barn that’s being sold with full planning approval to convert to a dwelling. Site is .4 of an acre with a pond housing ducks. Ideally want to live on site while I do the conversion in a static. Am I breaking any laws? Thanks in advance

With a stuck clutch get it bump started and drive round in circles with the clutch pedal pressed down jerking the throttle up and down and it should free up...

gates and posts look fantastic good job 👍👍👍👍

Doubling up the solar panels on the side looks like the go, on that 57Degrees, got mine at 60degrees from September 20th too March 20th. Top of that hill sounds like where youll get all the power youll ever need, from your solar pannels in winter wind and hydro (half cells pannels). Hydro from your driveway gullys roof gullys down over the side, if high enough, would need a sot catch, 10m head needed. Wind turbines, more is better, idealy 3 in a 30+meter triangle for gusty days, while ones spooling up in 67mph anothers in 25mph straightening out charge curve, istabreeze 700w,1000w. Seplos mason kits 14.4kwh 2k. lithium has great charge rates for sorter days

Coming on now Richard, looks like you have finished creosoting your barn!

How can I get my hands on one of the cheap 15kw inverter? Thanks mate

No electric gates? So you jump out your van to open them and some little shit (namely Ian cus he's lost so much weight from a pipe up his bum 😮), then jumps in the Transit and nick's it. Dont say I didn't warn you 😆

Is that beads of sweat I can see lol😅
