Just watched all of the Earthship video's on Youtube including the KingHorn Scotland one and I've come to the decision that when I win the lottery I'm having an Earthship home built for me :D

Don't be shy, even IF your only saying the same as someone else any advice (if it is good) is worth posting :D

I tried posting the picture alone and got nothing, I tried posting the text quote alone and got nothing, I even tried posting a single line quote and got nothing but a quote from a different thread worked :scratch: I don't understand why it shouldn't work (I'm a techie and know these things) but it ...

If your after anything beer related this guy does some really good gear and I believe the saving on the product should go a long way towards the postage costs ;) http://www.barleybottom.com He's a home brewer who decided to share his bulk purchases with anyone who wants to buy from him, so far he's ...

I tried collecting the Simpson range of glasses but gave up in the end, Nuttella is just too expensive these days but we are using the glasses that our scented candles came in (from IKEA) as tumblers :D
