Thank you!

Gosh that's a lot cheaper!

Thank you, that's the stuff I'd found, but it's expensive when I only need a quarter of it!

Perfect, thank you

Is it possible to get these in the uk? They would be great as where I want to build can flood a few inches sometimes. I'm not sure what they are called.

I'll thinking of building summerhouse, for which I'll make a concrete base, and have two things I'd be grateful for input for. Would it make sense to raise the floor structure from the ground a few cm by short "stilts" like a shed, in order to reduce moisture coming up? I was thinking of using...

Could you make a potato peeler? Need to modify the drum a bit!
