One thing I learnt is just how bad of an idea it is to try to run a cable from the outer corner an eave. Turns out the inside of the eaves are not part of the ceiling cavity as I had assumed.

Interesting that yours is not part of the cavity! I've installed PoE cameras in eaves four times now and the worst part is always lying down in the roof space trying the get the wire fed through the small hole you can't really see due to the sharp angle of the roof at the edges.

Which camera did you get?

My plan is to have things on either side of it, so maybe I'll back fill the gaps with gravel or put some bricks around it to help it out just in case. 😅

You got caught out by skimming the video 😝

He says he underestimated thinking that experimental piece with a higher ratio would be fully hardened in 3 days.

Concrete/cement usually takes weeks to months to fully cure to it's full strength. In any case the lower side of mine has an edge and I've actually made it slightly larger than I need. I think it should be OK, It's not like it's going to have cars or foot traffic on it just mainly storing things.

I think I will get some crumbling at the edges as it was hard to mix there. I've removed the wooden form I used and it's holding together for now.

That's basically it! You don't really need much water either. It just kind of looks like dirt coloured concrete. Technically you only need about 10-15% cement to soil. But since I was raising the level and and adding topsoil (also being lazy), I didn't measure it and just used a whole bag of cement. Tamped it to level it out, but it isn't perfect as I'm going to use some paving sand and pavers to level out the top of it anyway.

If you don't mind a 16 minute video, this what I watched before deciding to try it: https://youtu.be/tNoWVPVb6Mo

I'm planning to move my shed to some unlevel ground near our fence soon. Spent the last week trying to think of ways to do it on the cheap, as it will need a base of level ground that's higher that the sloping ground so the door can open.

Decided to experiment with making a cement stabilised soil pad. Managed to get it all mixed and tamped down a couple days ago, so now I'm leaving it to cure. All I needed was a bag of cement and some bags of topsoil. I'm not sure I mixed it well enough though it has hardened some already. Oh well, it doesn't need to be as hard as concrete, it's only going to have a fairly light static load on it. Fingers crossed it all works out!

I think their last few collabs were better. I guess they were trying to go for a kind of Spiritbox sound to the song?

The Rocky movies. Imagine the (sex) training montage leading up to two dudes pounding each other for 15 rounds in a boxing ring in front of an audience.

The weather here has been beautiful the last week. Freezing in the mornings, but clear and warm during the afternoon's. I can get behind winter if it's always like this.

I like the sentiment, but thought it was kinda funny that there were so many flags everywhere else.

Poor aussie.zone didn't stand a chance to get their flag in

Edit: Oh except for the tiny one I see there!

Looks good to me!

Sorry! I got distracted with something else, and then fell asleep 😅 Don't know if there's still time to add it?
