Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

GOT THE WEATHER and a bit more ENERGY 8-) Such a nice day I decided to have a day off work and do what I hope is my last trial build before moving it to the other end of the garden for final assembly. :) To do things correctly what I should have done was to catch up with all the internal fillet weld...

Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

Well, the gas has arrived.
Had one short session but still not finished the base section.
All I need is the weather and some more energy ;)

Re: What are you up to?

Booked a 5 day caravan holiday on the south coast for 2nd week in March. At £165 I thought "A Bargin" Central heating, Indoor heated pool opens on site that week too. I need a break from cutting and welding :D

Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

Thanks for the input guys. I intend to use a pvc type sheet for most of the inner surfaces. I had considered using van type carpet over the top. That is beginning to look like a definite now. Just on the outside walls to try to cut down the cold bridge effect. The condensation its self will not caus...

Re: What are you up to?

Super Moon Having purchased a larger telescope some months ago I thought the combination of "Super Moon", "Blue Moon" and "Blood Moon" was a good excuse to try it out for the first time. I have only set it up roughly to get the alignment scope somewhere near. It was set to the farthest away chimney ...

I had intended to leave some of the internal corner angles in place and weld them in situ but some of the minor alignment pr...

Re: SKarosser Copy Scratch Home build?????

Half the base section reassembled and welded together but I have run out of Gas :(
I think I will get some insulation sheets tomorrow and start to cut to fit while the gas arrives :roll:
I am going to spray the aluminum cab over windows black to match the main windows too ;)

Re: New Member - Petrol Pickups?

Just another thought on the diesel question. Does anyone run the cooking oil option? My understanding is that you can run up to 10,000 miles a year tax-free? I have thought of E10 fuel. I believe it to be ethanol with 10% diesel to give the required lubrication. I have only just started looking into...
