3rd February 2015 - Hitting the Bottle

Thought for the day: " [New Word Definitions:] Rectitude (n.), the formal, dignified bearing adopted by proctologists."

Managed to get to the warehouse today and do some sorting - trailer is empty again and ready for another load. Moved the Second freezer in to the other part of the basement and the bar area looks a lot better thought we have chickies ready to hatch.

Cold still permeating around, and British Gas are still messing around with the electricity readings for the Warehouse. They seem to think that I have used a lot of electricity at a very high premium. I have given them the readings and they have sent me a nice new bill with credit on it and then proceeded to reissues the first bill with the wrong figures. We shall see whether they get it sorted in the next couple of days ...

But meanwhile I have been drinking my diet coks and finding that I have bottles spare after I finish. W have kept them in the past for some gardening and for brining on some of the plants - acting as personal cloches...  but here are a few other ideas...

There are some interesting ideas here - particularly like the igloo though do not think it would be very practical ...  Cutting the ends to make wall hangins seems an idea and later there are options for making chandaliers the same way.

This is a way of making a footstool - seems a good idea. My mother used to make them out of cardboard boxes which she then covered with material .. but the same idea...
 Lights and chandaliers..

 Now this is more the way that we have used in the past - but not for shallots  - seems an idea..
I like this concept for making walls - seems like a plan - though the walls seem to need a lot of wood to give them shape ..

This is an interesting carport - all the bottles are suspended from the roof structures by cords - it does not say whether they are then fixed / stuck together but seems likely to make the structure firm..


Nicely done - and then there are the greenhouses - simple structure but very effective and presumably generate a substantial warmth  - more than double glazed..

A curtain made out of coloured bottle tops..


And more gardening ideas ..

 I like these little planters

 And we can look after the birds as well


So - I shall just hit the bottle and store the empties...  
Cheers
