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.

Nice.

I've been working on one. And it's being done the old fashioned way. No AI, a custom font that can be used elsewhere on here, so no chance of any licence issues or having to credit anyone. And it has to be scalable. And It's got to fit in a 337x91 image without any distortion, so no big flash highlighting effects, which is a bit of a bugger. So it has to be simple.

This is a work in progress. I just have to stop getting distracted.
Sofar.....


Just got to add a couple of bombs going bang. And a few tweaks.
If you've dug yourself into a hole. Just keep digging. You're bound to come out the other side eventually.

Jackdaw

Though most of the distractions I keep getting are new ideas on styling.

@Hardcoal

Yours looks cool mind, that would look really cool as a developer splash screen for a game or app! :)

I'm seeing it appear out of blackness of a screen with a jingle like the PS1 had!

You'll have to edit that link, as it's not showing.
Has to do with whatever built in support SFM has.
Had this issues trying to use google drive. I ended up using my dropbox account and using a shared download link with raw=1 instead of dl=shared.

They're bombs going off. But it's a bit hard show that with the available space. And moving the parts of the bomb any wider loses the shape too much, which makes the parts hard to identify.

Control + Middle mouse scroll in to see.

If there was the space, then I would have moved them a bit more apart, and added some smoke.

QuoteLove it not sure about the less than '<' and higher than '>' though

The first thing that popped into my head regarding that is the old saying...

"Less is more"

Funnily enough, I used to have to say that to my ex-wife!!!  :P ;)
