His house DIY is probably fracking in disguise, hence the earthquakes ;) :D.

Two here today, 3.0 and 2.1. Definitely felt the first one.

No, no more trenches being dug...

Well, once you've fractured the earth to it's core, a second trench seems superfluous...  X_X

After a hard day of DIY, it had better not trigger another one!

Shed roof rebuilt!!!

Well, if it had been Today at 0730, it might have been Me... up and outside with the Drain Rods!  :'(

Does anyone else think that that:

Gloop! Gloop! GGUURRGGLE! Bahh!

Is strangely 'satifying' in an "Oh! Yuck! NOT again!" way?  :o ;D

Hm. Was just thinking on 'stuff' the other day... and remembering the Dutch 'land' reclamation from the Sea...back in ... 60s/70s.  I was a child then.
How do people 'Feel' about  'Living' in an area that MUST be under long term  threat from possible rising sea levesl?
Are the coastal defences being continually built up?

Suppose same applies to other areas, worldwide...  UK Fens, Thames Barrage, USA, Pacific...etc. ?
I would not like it, but I suppose people just get on with life?

Just Curious?

Definitely a satisfying sound !......Clearing the pipe under the drive of leaves, isn't even yukky. ;D ;D ;D
(The pipe to to septic tank isn't (Ahem) quite so pleasant to clear........But throwing buckets of hot water down that, usually does the trick. ;)
