This is the top half. Overlaid on the composite stuff.

The nuke proof oven is built to withstand the next four wars. Very, very over engineered. Quite a lot of blocks and steel in the bottom two thirds. I need to take an angle grinder and replace the chimney and it needs a twee wooden cover, as it goes. It’s on the list. She keeps adding to The List.

that was the first thing i saw after my sig change

it does look ok

if the "foundations" are solid it makes it easier to fix the bits one sees

if they are not sound more radical means are required

you two have had different issues, nick is lucky that he only needed to "redecorate", yours is more of a restoration and rebuild including (perhaps) some civil engineering to stabilize that rather dramatic drop

Nice bit of decking there Nick. You need to make sure no one slops on it after all that work you've put in.

Anyone found any useful decking lights? Ideally solar, that last more than an hour/provide some light/don't totally fail after the first heavy dew?

LED solar motion sensitive spot lights have come a long way. I use them to illuminate paths.

But that's practical burst lighting.

I think my inclination would be to separate the components. e.g. solar panel and controller with 12v output to a car battery and 12v lighting. I use such a setup but not for lighting but to power an echo dot. So I can't comment on quite what you would need, but I have never found Solar lights apart from the Spot ones to be any good ever.

Yeah. I’ve got a step I wish to illuminate all the time (for safety), and the rest spot lights might be sensible. I’ll keep banging my head against it until the industry makes what I want.
