  • I got Starlink satellite broadband! I live in the middle of nowhere, out in the sticks, rural English countryside, and I've not really had any reliable internet. Whilst I've been building our home, I've got by on a couple of sim cards in 2 mobile phones. This just wasn't sustainable though. So I opted for Starlink satellite broadband! Yes it's a tad expensive but it's so worth it for me and my other half. In this video I explain why I've gone for Starlink, explain why I need it and get onto the set up and installation...

Living here in the Isle of Wight I am lucky with internet speeds, I'm just about on the lowest level my provider has which gives me 100mb download speed but more importantly 100mb upload as well If I wanted or needed it I could get 900mb upload and download here.

      There are 5 barns but he thinks we’ll have more luck with planning if we demolish 3 and keep the two we actually want. Class q has already been used since 2013 so said you kinda have to give back to gain from the council with planning.

      Think it states class Q can only be applied once per holding since 2013 the farmer used his class Q option already for his own house. Planning portal shows have tried to apply class q on these already and they have failed for that reason.
      He said only option we got is full planning kinda getting your big hurdle out the way first.
      Oh another note when you building a workshop for all these tools you keep buying 😂
      Oh yeah and the previous applications had all weird kind of stipulations added too in a response on the portal, no work to be carried out outside of hours 8-6mon to Friday, sat only 8-1 no Sundays or bank holidays, no burning of waste materials etc really helping the self builders in Chelmsford.

      They were more comfortable once I figured out I should put my feet inside them 😂 I got them on sale from screwfix for £20, I wouldn't say they're uncomfortable but not the greatest.
      I did ask and she said that I wasn't irritating in that way... Which means there's plenty of other ways she finds me annoying 😂
