They'll be using Expanding foam to glue bricks together next  :-X

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.

Okay. I've been farting around knocking up some Christmas fairy lights. But I can not think of a decent background for it.
As this is a gif image, and there are glows. The back ground has to cover the full image.

If you've dug yourself into a hole. Just keep digging. You're bound to come out the other side eventually.

Baggey

Looks spot on as is. Keep it simple. No background! :D

Think i'll have to use Genetica to knock out a seamless texture of some holly. That's if I can remember how to use it.

If it helps, Alpha transparency is supported in Animated .pngs, and most browsers appear to work well enough with them that you could use that functionality to save a ton of gif-based issues.
(Don't ask me how to generate the things, though!!!)

Well easy enough to create a webp image. But the quality looks a bit naff.


Okay. Had to double the size to get better details.


Not really an ideal solution though.
A comparison:
webp 2400x175
webp 1200x88
gif 2400x175
git 1200x88

Well what can I say.  I can not help if I'm a perfectionist.

I'll be going with the 2400x175 webp image. All the modern browsers since 2020 should now support that file format. I haven't seen how Safari looks with the image yet.
