So it turned out to be a nice wee meet, with just six of us tagging along. Mamachook and Alan set about the shave horse, JohnC demonstrated his expert fire lighting, bodjit started doing a little carving and the rest mucked in with some gardening jobs. There was a few natives about as well so it...

Hi All. It looks like there'll just be a few of us about on Saturday with even fewer staying over, which is fine. We can, at least, see if the space is suitable for bigger groups in the summer. This weekend we hope to get the shave horse set up and running for the summer. Regards Rob

Hi All. We'll need some confirmations by tomorrow am or we might have to consider cancelling...

I'll be busy on the Monday. :( In fact as it turns out I'll be busy over a lot of the weekend. I'll be around all day Friday and Saturday but cant stay over. :( I might make it up on Sunday. Work/ kids/ life has sucked up some time. I'm really looking forward to meeting you all. I've not been...

The Car Park is called Threipmuir Car Park, but yeah it is Redford wood. Your Plan is a good one. :)

Mamachook, Y'all can come along. :)

Hi Folks I'm now beginning to plan this in earnest. We can have the site for a Saturday and Sunday any weekend in March but I'm aiming for the last weekend (29th and 30th) if that suits? There may be some of the service users of the charity around on the Saturday and that's when I'd like some...

THOaken, this will definitely happen in spring, just stay in touch with this thread.

Sabot, I organise the gardening group on Fridays, you could come along with me if you like. :) If you cant make Fridays, there are plenty other opportunities to get stuck in.

In a small garden, the kiddies windmill trick works very well.

Cheers John. I'll keep this thread updated.

Hi folks. I haven't been on here for a long time, so first of all hi and how are you all doing? With Toddy's permission I'd like to suggest a meet at this location: www.youthvisionscotland.co.uk This wee charity is restoring the croft between Threipmuir and Harlaw reservoirs near Balerno...

I got 1.5kg of Sea Trout for £5 the other day in the Supermarket as it's sell by date was up. As other's have suggested the core diet could be cheap then supplemented with this kind of lucky meal.

Um, what happens when you need to start using the wood and take the top layer off? Yu lose the shingles and the rain gets in?

Rowan is also doing badly. feed the birds this winter folks.

Where are you based exactly? I may have wood I need rid of come the winter months.

I'm not diong landscaping yet either, I'm not sure I even want to (apart from a bit of dyking). there's a growing market for Garden Maintenance along with our ageing population. I've got experience but I started by doing part time gardening work over the past few months, enough to pay for the...
