Next Door Neighbours have got a leak - and I soaked him through
I was having a few beers with the next door neighbour in his back garden
when one of the kids came running out shouting "The house is flooding" This is what I saw when when I went in .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlJpolA7Y9g Now as the light fitting was full of water and the RCBO had tripped I decided to take down the light fitting. Not as easy as it looks balanced on some dodgy steps after 8 pints. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZq5zOv4_7c Sorry Paul, but the kids and Lucy loved it. -- Adam |

Had something a bit like that around 30 years ago. Got back to my parent's house having had a few beers - and they asked why the light was a dull orange with a funny zippy-fizzy sound. It too was a glass fitting and almost full of water. Miracle it didn't fall off the ceiling it was so heavy - as I found out when I lifted it off. And my parents had been sitting underneath it wondering why it wasn't working quite right. Then found that the cold water tank was pouring out in the loft... Rod |

Rod Site Manager at the school where I work went to repair a 2D fitting which was not working. Light switch was off, but when he opened the fitting water poured out, giving him and the person holding the (aluminium) ladder a shock. This was due to a poorly designed valley between 2 pitched rooves filling up with leaves and the water overflowing the flashing. Malcolm |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "ARWadsworth" saying something like: Did he really flatten that whole area with a bricklaying trowel? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRrvXVuODMQ&NR=1 And decide for yourself. He might do some daft things (and don't we all), but there's no denying he's keen. |

Does it keep the chicken(s) in and safe from foxy? If so it's doing it's job, you don't *need* at trendy eglu. I'm more concerned about the welfare of the chicken(s), that is very small even for one chicken and AFAIK chickens don't like being on their own so I hope there are two or three... -- Cheers Dave. |

There are two babies in there (the yellow blob at the top right is one of them) with the adult. The other 13 adult chickens have the run of the garden and no protection from a fox in the daytime, they are locked in at night. -- Adam |

That's normal out during the day and free to wander locked in at night safe from foxy. 13 hope he, you and most of the neighbours like eggs... -- Cheers Dave. |
