You can also get the expanding foam post fix, but, I wouldnt trust it really, especially where I live on the side of a valley and when the storms blow in the right direction, whistling down the valley, nowt is safe!

Cannot beat a breaky uppy mode, saves the hand cramps and chipped knuckles knocking ten bells out of a chod of conc with a hammer and chisel.

I have a massive JCB drill with a concrete breaky uppy mode which has got me out of jail free a couple of times replacing rotted fence posts that has been concreted in.

Putting my 2 deckings in.... I've dug enough post holes to last me a life time... I feel sorry for the future poor sod who may want to shift'em... Like most things I do, I tend to go over the top, and as such, I've probably got shares in postcrete! :D

Consult a qualified electrician for compliance with BS 7671 and local building Regs! Avoid areas where future digging is likely. ;)

That depends on where the cable is to run. Minimum depth in a garden in 450mm. Under pavements 600mm.

Just discovered my cpu temperatures have often been at or above 100 degrees C.  Thanks ChatGPT for telling me to check that.  Might explain the random crashes in notepad.exe etc.

The entire machine was literally choking in dust.

Temperatures now a healthy 20-30 degrees on idle, and 60-78 degrees under heavy 3d load. Not rising above 100 ...

With the machine being that old. You should replace the thermal paste for all chips that require a heat sink.
If you've dug yourself into a hole. Just keep digging. You're bound to come out the other side eventually.
