Concentrate it and then freeze In winter we go through a lot of chicken soup. Also I trade what my neighbor calls "Liquid Gold" for expert advice on building with timber, part of the curry trade.

It's hard making decent chicken stock in 7 different pots at once. I am still chasing a reasonable 40 litre or bigger stock pot. Chicken frames come in 20 kilo boxes and even 2:1 is a little light on the water for good flavour extraction, I like 3:1 so a 60 litre pot would be perfect and save much time.

I see what you did there.

I'm waiting until the Jamie Oliver go to clearance but really far too small for big pots of Ragu Di Bolognese

Thanx for the links. I may have to wait until a branch falls down

Beta WAS better than VHS and that's why almost all archives for TV are in that format a bit like ELcassettes

Salk and Sabine are different from each other but definitely not a modern technique. One is an inactivated virus by injection and the other is attenuated live virus taken orally. I know I had both types in Primary school

I don't see why there should be any disadvantage to getting shots from two different vaccines, after we got two totally different polio vaccines back in the 50s and 60s

Well we ourselves helped with some of that. A lot of little jobs with skills I had already learnt here.

Perhaps fewer people doing DIY renovations because of the government incentives to use the rebuild bonus; which means registered builders and maybe not self build?

Ouch!

Ski season starts in 5 weeks I can't wait the full 12

My right shoulder is still a little sore after 3 weeks so this jab is a little different to some others I have had. but I remember my smallpox inoculation was painful for weeks afterwards. There is a slight risk with this vaccine but all medical treatments have risks attached and as I see it the risks with this are similar to or lower to the many I have had over the decades. We knew this was coming and as a nation we should have been better prepared but we were not; so lets just deal with it...

OK I need to ask - are the chairs the geunine article? Absolute classics.

I just approximated from allowable flooring loads but the OP's 60kg per square meter sounded reasonable to me 4.7 *0.6 =165kg but even if it was 300kg I'd not be too worried. Evenly distributed naturally, if I had a heavy load I'd try and centre it on a brace point like the bracket I suggested

A couple of large shelf brackets would also help. I assume that there is a wall or something to screw or bolt such angle brackets to. I used a couple of these on my big shelf; 600 * 3600, on a longer shelf of 4700mm I might double that https://www.bunnings.com.au/carinya-400-x-350-x-25-x-3-5mm-white-stayed-straight-bracket_p3970220

Call it a "Repair" Don't ask and don't tell

Isn't Geothermal heat driving steam turbines big in places like New Zealand and Iceland???

Here's a left field suggestion which may be cheaper. Demolish the existing brick wall where it is already set back because of the trees and set it back another half a metre or so.

As much as any post in this thread.

Perhaps people are mistaking president Bidens stutter for dementia? But all said and done he's just another politician; just like our own beloved PM

Did you inform the engineer that the spacing of the brackets was 1800mm? When we did our carport we used 1800mm spacing and the building inspector never even looked at them or checked the beam size, only the rafter size got checked by tape.

Good alternators should be about 75 to 80% efficient and to quote your own link the diesel engine runs at a constant speed Marc

Where's the Atomic batteries promised by all the Science Fiction writers of the 1950s? An EV with an unlimited range.

Hydrogen turbine/ electric will be the dominant technology for heavy transport in the future. Well it will be if we decide to be smart

If Biden is demented and I think that is debatable it is nowhere near the level of Ronald Reagans and some people still think he was an OK sort of leader

Looking great

You'll do no harm at all with an occasional bit of pine offcuts, up to a third or so. The only real problem with using pine is the speed with which it burns as to reduce creosote build up it should be burnt with the draft more open

Are you going to be insulating the underside of that concrete slab? Working in the ski lodge at Falls Creek we really noticed the difference when the slab was covered with 100mm of styrofoam and RFL
