That’s exactly why I was pissed. Apparently it’s also « just » a regulatory safety feature that the system must detect the 12v before switching to the main battery…
It was not fun being stranded after midnight in a boat ramp until 2am…
Probably. Never happened to me though. I had to call assistance for that battery which is a known issue in EV6. Which also happens to be a 3 or maybe 4 years old car - typically not within a normal failure range.
It was a love story until I got stranded twice at ungodly hours due to the 12v battery failing on my EV6.
Holy cow this one hits home.
Oh that's a drawer 0_° I'm even more jealous. It looks... humongous...
Well, we'll keep all the surounding untouched. The concrete is just the surface to accomodate outdoor kitchen, a table & hopefully, a jacuzzi or, for the times being, the kids "pool". On top of the concret I'll run some creeper vines in the to-be wooden patio. Rest assured that all the trees and surrounding pastures won't move an inch. Before being concrete this was largelly gravel in any case. Heat behaviour has been a concern from the start but the balance tipped towards this outcome.
upvoted for the old but quality reference :)
Am so jealous. So well organised and all. I tried to put up a rack but failed to get it large enough so it’s a rack and a drawer and way too many oils / vinegars…
As much as the concrete I will pour… but the sides where water can seep through will have a permeable layer. Between the walls and the pad. And the layer below the membrane sure is permeable.
That - and the vibrating plate I used yesterday - are my highlight in fun toys this year. I'd totally pay a couple of € to play with that kind of tools instead of your to six flags :)
So it's all sitting on a layer of small rock so water would drain well. And I'll be making a slope in the concrete so the water should get right at the end of the pad where I'll be making a franch drain / rock walkway to make sure nothing pools too much. Additionally my roof is overhanging quite a bit so the ~40cm are most of the time dry when it rains anyway unless rains gets sideways twice every 5 years or so.
yup. Need to get the outdoors more practical as our weather is now all hot & dry...
Step by step :)
I now have one last water evacuation to place where the exterior faucet is and the. I can lay the metal wire mesh.
Saw this recipe at some point on a Korean cooking yt channel and I wanted to try it since I love miso.
It was a banger. This chicken will be hard to top.
At the request of kid #1 we did spring rolls for dinner. This time I got one of the kiddo to roll his own rolls and they actually looked fine.
Some with shrimps and most fully veggie.
And with large quantities of peanut butter sauce.
With rice, cucumber and kimchi :)
I had some eggplant laying around so I made them in a side with a miso glaze.
Today time was in short supply with my partner visiting customers and me experiencing full speed managerial bullshit so I put together a simple curry.
After an eternity using a laser and making sure we have a slope of 1cm per meter we now have the base layer done :) If I understand correctly I now need to rent a machine to compact everything tightly before putting the visqueen layer and the armature.
It’s been a while since I could cook due to the horrific weather here in Belgium the last weeks. A quick meal to resume the cooking adventure :)
Ca va tout le monde?
This was on my bucket list ; playing with a mini excavator.
Though the actual work was done by my step bro
Next I’ll do the form and order some lill stones to prep the surface, some steel reinforcement and put all in place before getting some concrete.
Today my son was having his birthday party and he requested ramen.
These are basic soy sauce ramen with the usual egg, porc and veg toppings.
Took a while to make these but worth the time given how they were appreciated by the kids :)
I wanted something more visual than usual.
The zucchini was super easy and only took 30sec of blanching before assembly.
The chicken was cooking sous-vide style
Then I briefly grilled it
And made the sauce using my frozen chicken fond
And voila :)
At some point I’ll need to buy additional plates because it’s becoming quite repetitive to always plate using the same…
Started with a craving for hummus, ended with a bit more in the plate. All was more or less cooked in the same batch in the oven so not complex or overly messing.
