Drainage:
Fire starts with water, as anyone whose house downpipes have blocked, sending water into the electrical wiring. The classic error is to have a totally sealed system from the house guttering to the street. Any blockage anywhere in the system will result in water running into your ceiling, with costly and even dangerous results. Good systems have relief holes in the guttering, open collector boxes where the down pipe leaves the gutters, and another opening at the ground level, with a grated input back into the underground drains. This will mean that during a storm, the householder can check that his drains are running and if blocked, the water will not flow back into the ceilings. You cannot get a plumber or architect to call during a storm, so make your drains "failsafe".
But back to me, Ollie.
Currently, the television in our room is tuned into a garden show. I would change it, but people are watching it! Several points in this show caught my attention.
- A man was showing a clip how a person was devistated, because a peach tree was covering over an apple tree. He offered to fix the problem, and did so by "Cutting it like this", which involved half the tree being mutilated. Oh, and he had one last tip, use a saw!! Don't know how else you are able to do it, but anyway.
- The same guy was showing how to make a veggie patch. You needed to bury the seeds, which funnily enough involved the covering of seeds with sand! Wow!!
