He’s a bit down on his springs at tha moment.<\/p>\n
And that’s hardly surprising either because inside there are 29 industrial batteries and about 2 cubic metres of aluminium – that being the bodywork off the 2 caravans that I scrapped here a few years ago.<\/p>\n
I rang up the metal factors at St Ours this morning and they are interested in it all and so that’s where it’s all going on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Once I’d finished the website work I went off and started to round up the batteries. And then I had to check them over. There were three or four that still had something left in them and so I’ve done some battery-swapping in the barn. That’s left me with a decent battery that I’ve fitted in Caliburn to work off the solar panel on the roof rack, and that will come in handy. <\/p>\n
All the rest have gone into the back.<\/p>\n
Once I’d done that I started to look for the aluminium. And that wasn’t easy either as that was all over the place too with all kinds of weeds and trees growing through it. But I’ve gathered up as much as I could find (which was certainly more than I thought that I had) and that’s all loaded up too.<\/p>\n
The local farmer with the wind turbines came round too. He’s decided to cut his losses and sell them if he can. I said I’d make certain enquiries.<\/p>\n
All of that while it was pouring down with rain. 16mm we had today, most of it down the back of my neck.<\/p>\n
And now I’m cold and wet, just like the weather. I’m going to have an early night now and it’s Bank Holiday tomorrow so no alarm clocks for me!<\/p>\n
