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.

It is a testament to the peeps of old that when a nice place for folks to share stuff folds, in a heartbeat something else takes its place.

I've had so much gratification from Mark Sibly's products over the decades, from BlitzBasic 2.1 to Blitz3D, Monkey, BMax to name but a few.

You might clock my shadow in this slice of you tube ism, its brought to you by Pakz rotating a rectangle in 3D code.... with a heavy slice of me thinking - could I just try this......

My days coding are hampered by work and keeping my body working how I want with age. Nevertheless, I've liked hanging this together over the last 2 nights  :D  ;D  ;)

Kudos if anyone can name the sk8park ;)  If you use AI - come clean! Incidentally - you might clock some steps on the left - might've lost some skin there during the week!

indeed, 'blitzers' never give up, remember how many times some people said that blitzbasic, blitz3d, blitzmax were dead.

sure, the community is not as vibrant as in the blitzbasic.com days, but we are still there, coding stuff. ⌨️🤓 ( at our own pace 😅 )
