Are you planning on establishing a giant colony of birds residing in those teapot nests? It seems, that with a few more, you could be selling them off your tailgate at the boot fair. I'm glad that you explained what they were and how they go together, because a blue tit nest conjures up images of a much different venue and situation.
I do accumulate, but it is always available for anyone to use.
Though a clean up is needed from time to time.
Every time I reuse, repurpose or use free materials, it puts money back in my pocket to use on other things.
And yes, improvement is a great feeling too.

I certainly wont make the nests for selling, they are all earmarked for friends. Including Mickey’s wife next door.
Blue tits at Hooters?







Some of you may remember the gokart chassis I bought a while ago.

Barstool racer is the objective

Not shortened as is traditional but full length with a small pickup bed over the motor.

So how many horses should I look for in a motor.

No need to be a rip snorting turbo NOS driven nutter mobile.

But needs to be reasonably capable of drawing around 150kg around a field.


I see Briggs and Stratton motors on rotovators with 3.5 hp and bigger on other stuff.


Go on…….


Don’t kill me.
