benmetal, friend, does the phrase "tilting at windmills" mean anything to you? 8-)


Do you say that because i'm from Netherlands?


Interesting coincidence but I hadn't considered that. No, it's a reference to a character from classic literature, Don Quixote. It means to strive vainly after something. 8-)
It's a dirty job but I got to do it for 27 years. Thank you.

Scarol, you made my day. I haven't laughed like this for a looooong time!
There’s so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

My report from the test yesterday: Failed!
First I tried how fragile the plastic was with water, too fragile so couldn't do the test with the peat.
Better quit before using the peat then mop the floor.

I fell bad for you, but yes I would have also expected this to be outdoors.

Next time maybe elaborate more on your plan. I am sure there are plenty of people who could have helped you with ideas. I imagine anything that is only a temporary situation, certainly needs to be sturdy. Especially if not dug into the ground.

You have learned something that most of the video producers have also learned the hard way. Wait until it works and then only speak of your successes. 8-)

I feel bad that it didn't work. If it's any comfort, the road to good sinking is not always deep or smooth.

Keep at it. Someday you will succeed.
