    How to wrap a present the Japanese way.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,151 ✭✭✭kupus


    no picture as its only an idea, but one way to keep water costs down,
    toilets....
    stick the cistern on the outside wall to collect water from the rain gutter outside. Only to be used on rainy days. also if you are one of those double flushers then this is not for you. lol.

    There are already systems like this available:

    but to be honest, with the cost of setting up something like this, you will probably only start saving money after a decade or more (at which point you'd probably have sold the house!)

    That's a brilliant idea, but wouldn't the weight of a cow activate the gate too?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,967 ✭✭✭✭Thargor


    Cows hate those cattle grids on the ground, they never walk on them, most houses out in rural areas in this country have them in the driveway aswell. Anyway the car will weigh about a ton, animals will be lighter, the engineer could just add weight until its balanced properly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭Digital Solitude


    The weight of several cows maybe, it'd be interesting to try and build


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 77,033 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    I know they hate grids, but they're usually metal, I didn't think they'd mind wooden grids too much. But you're making a good point, it'd be a matter of calculating the right 'tilting' weight, so to speak.

    Hungry sheep on the Yorkshire moors have taught themselves to roll 8ft (3m) across hoof-proof metal cattle grids - and raid villagers' valley gardens.

    I think the calculations would be pretty hard for a cow. Might be easier if they Just walking around through the big gaps on either side. :p

    A lot of major out back roads in Australia don't bother with metal grids anymore - they just paint lines on the Tarmac - cattle think it's a grid-

    This is a real life hack, so simple and yet so effective - it's a relative of the soup stone!

    IRON FISH



    Sorry, I know, I know, I posted a video and a link, so here's one of the pictures...

    Yes, that's exactly the Soup Stone I meant. You put the stone in water, add lots of yummy ingredients, and hey presto, you've got soup, all thanks to the stone. The Lucky Iron Fish is similar, in the sense that you add it to whatever you're cooking, and hey presto, an iron-full meal. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,967 ✭✭✭✭Thargor


    Ah right, I was picturing some stone you boiled in water to make nutritious soup over and over again, like those "Feed A Family For A Year" emergency buckets :D

    Or - if you've got that much forethought -just bring some firelighters !

    But these would be waterproof, would occupy less space, and nothing would happen if they got into contact with food. Other than that, you're absolutely right. :)

    Why not just dip firelighters in wax if we're going to the trouble of finding a bucket of melted wax to dip ship in.
