last week in you know where. oh, and hey, the country is on lockdown because demonstrations demand the president resigns. oh, hey, will i even be able to leave next weekend? i'm so tired of this...
anyways, all is well aside from that crap. i'm just kind of angry...
so, i came across a 40' shipping container on ebay recently. it is very local to me, and about the same price (a little less, in fact) than most 20' containers being sold by the big shipping firms in town.
i only have one problem, and that is delivery - stone wall i don't want to take down, overhead cables i don't mind having the power company temporarily take down (if not too expensive), and a relatively narrow road for delivery. i'm hoping that they can get a "big enough" truck up the road in order to drop the container about 4-5m inside my boundary wall. but i'm counting on them maneuvering a 40' shipping container over a wall with a hiab, rather than a huge crane hehe
it's a big ask, but one of their drivers is going to pop down tomorrow to scope the delivery prospects for me, yeah 😎
Well, I was seriously considering a 20’er for something like a summerhouse type deal. But now I could do a 30’ summerhouse thing, and 10’ of garden shed!
I’d nearly resigned myself to a wood frame build, but material costs alone were likely pretty big. I can happily let the kids climb all over this without too much worry, too 😎
shipping container may very well not be happening - delivery on to site is hampered by electric cables. i'm in the process of finding out what can be done about that, but there is definitely a lull in the wind for this particular sail at the moment.
🍻Cheers @slater – I treated myself to a couple of Brewdog's finest last night, after a shit day and with a glimpse of sunshine to enjoy in the garden!
Can you stick yourself down for a fortnight of those? Get some swimming in during the mornings! Chop’n’change the lifestyle a bit, build better routines :)
sick in bed (in a hotel) all weekend. i bought a fridge, a tv, a bed (and mattress), building materials and an induction cooking hob all from bed, too. i feel like this is the future i have only heard about.

Loving the ladies football world cup... at times 22 jingly breasts on display for over 90 mins on numerous games and not one lewd comment on any red tops as yet?
i hope everybody is watching the current world cup. the matches in the quarters were fantastic for the most part. i think spain got ripped off with the us winning on two questionable penalty kicks (in regulation time) but whatev...
the apt got hot water today. now i can take baths and smell the certainly-cancer-causing chemicals they used installing the floors!
i've been watching the world cup, and am really enjoying it, too. bloody brilliant stuff, and a refreshing change from the men's display, for sure. my daughter (10) is football mad, and has had many late nights watching the games, too. she actually went for county trials yesterday, and scored in each game. more importantly, she had great fun there, and didn't have a parent on the sidelines barking instructions at her!
I've not seen the football, apart from the odd news clip, but it does really seem to be 'capturing the imagination' of the public and, yes, it feels a real positive.
That's brill news about your daughter – good luck, to her… ⛹️♀️

yeah, direct linking images is weird with the current post editor. use the element embed thing or just post a link to the imgur page and hit return.
sucks a bit, but hey ho! morning!
