My fuel stock brewed before moving house is running out, so time to get on with it!
Bund (aka manky spill area) assembled and awaiting two-part latex... and I think I'll hang some plastic sheets to catch splashes and redirect into the bund too (judging by the state of the outbuilding walls where I used to live, a good idea!)

Bund would be 540l but for the fact it slopes towards the front of the garage, still - enough to catch a batch if something leaks :)

Latex and plastic sheets. Snigger snigger.
Oh and a new set up. I hope it's warmer down south to be working outside. Two days and my fluffy soap doesn't look like settling any time soon.
-
About 4C, positively tropical but still enough to slow down the mortar.
Can't beat latex and plastic sheets, the handcuffs are just for holding the pipework up honest ;)
I'm down to 100l of bio and the car is empty, at the moment I'm getting through 25l a week so really it's just 4 weeks worth. If I can get set up soon then enough time to settle a batch for three weeks in the cold!

Nice use of kerbing :)

My enthusiasm is well-kerbed.
It's cold, for the old. I've run out of bio and meth... and the kit's pre-primed with 180L of whites.

Ta, tis cheap, and no sharp edges. Used it for the last bund too (and it saved a few otherwise major spills)!

What do you mean 'for the old' when we met at the bbb you seemed like a young man to me.
Tony, your new place sounds great!
-
Looking good, Tony.
A true bio enthusiast ... get the plant running before sorting minor things like making the house habitable. We lived in a building site for many years but I still kept up bio production.
I applied the reasoning that I needed the fuel to go and fetch materials ... not sure she ever believed me though.

Exactly, can't fix the leak in the roof if I can't get to a builder's merchant :)

When I first visited your place I had to admire your style, the garage was all finished, complete with lathe etc, but the kitchen was far from complete, I seem to remember a scaffold board bridging a hole in the floor like a gangplank.

These projects need careful planning you know.

I'm 50. The BBB is a tonic, it rejuvenates! ;D

I'm 62, I've always maintained that an unexpected faceful of bio does wonders for the softness of your facial hair. Would probably make more money selling it as a tonic than burning it in engines.
