Are they not the most attractive shipping containers ever?

Those are very cool. People are doing amazing things with shipping containers these days. Do an image search - there's some really cool stuff going on.Montegriffo wrote: Fri Jun 15, 2018 9:02 am

Why are all the Gods such vicious cunts? Where's the God of tits and wine?

There are plenty of places that don't get tornadoes.

No I don't. The apprenticeship takes at least 5 years and there are precious few opportunities to obtain one.C-Mag wrote: Fri Jun 15, 2018 10:40 am @ Monte

I do help with the threshing and I try to learn as much about thatching as I can from farmer Paul.
The panels were produced by several thatchers from 4 different varieties of wheat and then erected by a master thatcher who made the ridge to join them all together.
The containers are oriented East/West so that the sides face North and South to provide info on high v low sunlight hitting them.
It's a unique project which has not been tried anywhere else before and the knowledge gained will be invaluable for future generations of thatchers.
Death, death, to the IDF.
