My loft in progress

looking good ray, you look to have more lofts than before, have you been extending ?

looking good Ray

Old photos those . Need updated . Only one new loft David thats all

Reminds me of the good old days on the allotments before the money boys with their posh lofts
became involved.

See a magies nest in the trees behind, can be little theives.

Champions have flown to nothing more than orange boxes.

Clinical lofts the worst possible cause of loss of immunity.

Looking forward to your attempts at beating the big boys who have all the advantages.

Regards.

ive quite a lot of magpie / crow nests around my garden-loft, i reckon they have helped keep hawk attacks down over the years .......

Ray that solar panel looks small is all you need

Haha . That solar was for alarm system but no longer needed . We have 5 massive ones on roof

hopefully so bit of a death trap scenario by my standards here Ray Final point just hope you don't have a mosquito issue their Ray like down here at the moment with our floods as they would have some trouble getting out of your lofts with all your new fronts there as such I suspect.

Trouble getting in as well so that's a bonus

true but bit like our mouse plague thou here at the moment Ray our mosquito situation so just be wary I suggest. End of the story my Geordie mate here Ray just retired recently for a life of leisure after 40 odd years in the one job as such .

not sure if i ask this question before how far can you hang a electricity cable from the house to the loft

I think it all depends on where it;s fed from and what it's feeding George. Some electric lawnmower cables are a fair length and must comply with regs. Mine is caravan type cable, exterior rated and waterproof off ebay with a circuit protection device fitted each end. You rarely get a second chance when things go wrong electrically, always get proper qualified advice though.

what i mean is not on the ground but like a cloths line

still needs to be same external rated cable George especially with the wet weather we get. You can usually pick up a second hand caravan extension for £10 if you want roll it up and put it away during the longer days.

thanks for that Colin it's just for early breeding

Pond waterfall pump been in 40 years, fed by normal plug and supply but cable encased in plastic tubing.

As barnie says, get proper advice from qualified source.

Regards.

when i was younger and lived at home i used to have an extension cable on a reel that i`d roll out while i fed them if it was dark when i got home from work, and wound it back in when i`d finished . ideally i think armour plated cable is needed for under ground in case your digging etc, but i dont see any harm in either mistys suggestion of a cable in a pipe or a washing line type like you say george, as long as its supported at intervals.......or even fixed around your wooden fence with clips.
