The Broken Water Meter328 viewsWe had a leak at a pig trough. Pavel couldn't find a way to turn off the water to the trough, so turned off all of our water. When he tried to turn it back on, he broke off the valve next to our water meter. Severn Trent came along and painted a big blue arrow and gave us some bottles of water. The pile of blocks was to try to hold down the lid to the water meter/valve.

Ben and Jed Building the Bonfire at Lord's Wood405 viewsThe mission was to build a bonfire whose flames would leap up the top. This became known as the "Wall of Fire Project."
