    I'd say water storage for the water tank to be able to water the garden from rainwater! Build a stand for it, shine it up and have a valve at the bottom.

    • @jmklamm
      @jmklamm 10 месяцев назад +6

      Came to suggest the same! Would be neat cleaned up and mounted on the corner of the house- maybe built into a potting bench?

    • @PatonHaus
      @PatonHaus 10 месяцев назад +11

      I was going to suggest the same thing, that copper patina already looks so outdoorsy. That or a liquor still.

      I made a fountain out of mine . Ran a pump and hose up the middle. Cylinder sit in a pond with the water cascading down sides

  • @davidpinchbeck2134
    @davidpinchbeck2134 10 месяцев назад +4

    That water tank will make two wonderful copper planters for the garden and they will develop a gorgeous verdigris patina with time. Go for it!

    • @gregthorne4292
      @gregthorne4292 10 месяцев назад +2

      This was my suggestion as well. Either cut it in half lengthways for two long planters, or cut the ends off for two small planters (and some middle left over)

    • @moonpie21012

    That gorgeous, crisply focused shot of the borage and bees against the dark background almost made me cry. Definitely Gardeners World quality. You probably already know, but the leaves taste like cucumber and are good in soups.

    It is very important, once in a while, when you think you might have bit more than you can chew, to step back and look at what you have achieved and done so far. That way you mentally get a re-set and re-inspired =) But i'm sure you knew that already! Keep on putting out the great content and doing great work. We are all rooting for ya!

  • @SaffaInNewZealand

    Cut the water tank in half sideways, weld some legs onto the bottom half and drill a few holes, add a handle for the upper half and add some hinges - better than a Weber 😜

    The hot water thermosiphon for a hot tub is cool. Very easy to make a copper coil that goes into the tub, and cold water comes back from tub at base of the boiler.
    When you add a heat source to the coil… like a rocket stove setup, it thermally pumps and circulates the water creating heated water for the tub

    • @cv990a4
      @cv990a4 10 месяцев назад

      The back area is a bit cramped relative to the fence line anyway. Getting rid of the conservatory will make the back yard feel far more expansive. Indeed the renovations generally make the house feel far more open (both internally and in terms of natural light) and roomy.

    My wife and I have been watching your channel for years and really enjoy it. My wife is tickled every time Scott says “Smoko Time!” and I would love to get her a t-shirt with this on it for Christmas, but can’t find any merchandise on your website. Do you sell merch? If not, you totally should. It’s a great way to add (mostly) passive revenue to your platform. Keep up the great work! 🌺

    To be honest I thought your list was a bit ambitious! You did get the door in though! If that was me I would have started all three tasks at once and finished none of them! 😁 I like the idea of a water collector for the garden. Polish up the copper and then clear coat it so it stays shiny! Either that or cut it in half and make two Astromech Droids out of it! 🤖

    2 Troth Fire/Water Feature.
    My Idea for the Tank is to cut it into two long halves, make some simple legs to hold it in a troth like position. Plumb in some gas and pipe with many holes in it that is capped on the end, bury the pipe in tumbled glass and have a small fountain behind it, or also in it. Sound difficult but its really not. I have built something higher-end, but same idea.
