Stage 1 - Diy Di

[Dodger]

Yeah I thought about it mate, considering going diesel and taking Joes advice with the bio diesel. Every little helps as tesco say.

I'm not a serious tree hugger mate but I'm getting quite a few customers on the back of the eco advertising so I'm gonna roll with it and keep it as eco as I can get. Besides power cuts won't affect me, hose pipe bans won't affect me, equipment failure won't affect me as I'll keep a spare little one for 7 quid (lol) just in case, alcohol does but don't partake in much of that either so alls good lol.

Lol well I have been thinking of announcing I'm going Eco friendly using rainwater.. My tap ppm only 42ish anyway, but with the amount of rain we get I could could enough to keep me going. Maybe I could get the rain water ppm down to with a filter cloth!

What about winter dodger? It's no fun blading with cold water in low temps? It's not much fun using boiling host for that matter!

Paper and carbon filters mate then di use would be minimal. When I have it all set up properly I'll be putting inline (diy) filters in as well.

 

[Dodger]

If all goes to plan mate it won't be a problem, in other words I don't blinking know I work it out as I go along lol. As I've said use of wfp will be fairly minimal so I may use some type of alcohol to stop it freezing.

Isopropanol is what most use, but I was referring to trad work, horrible with cold in frost

 

[Dodger]

Yeah tradders have suffered winters for years mate and I prefer cold to hot anyway so I'll get over it, well heres hopin.

Not when it's minus degrees cold enough to freeze the water on the glass, or your hands are that cold and sore you can hardly scrim.. Then trying to ice skate to the next house lol

 

[Dodger]

Ok so if it's that impossible chaps how does everyone else manage? I thought only doleys stopped in winter lol.

 

[chip]

Hot water!

 

[Dodger]

And what about cracking the glass?

 

[chip]

Could you rig a solar panel up to your water butt to give it a bit of warmth?

 

[chip]

Cold water rarely freezes on glass, usually only unseated rooms, eg connys,

I dont do scrimming in the winter! Plus My blade is dogg eared so I dont need to do much anyway

 

[Dodger]

I'm in the process of thinking about that lol, just thinking.

May build my lad a playhouse and put ibc tanks underneath at ground level, put doors on and an oil heater or something in there. After I take it out with me is another problem though.

I've tried dog earing but found it gave me too much drag, couldnt get on with it. Might try notching instead. Thanks for the info on it not freezing though /emoticons/smile.png

Hot water freezes faster than cold water lol. Add windscreen wash, We used somehting similar to this when I worked for another guy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GRANVILLE-ALL-SEASON-CAR-WIND-SCREEN-WASH-CONCENTRATE-/320943497193?pt=UK_Vehicle_Oils_Lubricants_Fluids&hash=item4ab9b91fe9#ht_2591wt_1110
