@Rich-O-Brien said in Missy the missing Cat (very funny Mike):

@L-i-am do we know if she found Missy?

Missy was found alive but only just, she was found in the veggie compartment of a beer fridge ( In Australia that is a fridge in the garage just for beers when you have a party or BBQ) she was found alive but with severe hypothermia.

@Rich-O-Brien said in Genius small house:

Wonder how these manage high winds/storms etc?

I think the sturdiness of shipping containers is where the benefits lie. They travel the oceans.

This is a quote, one of many items online about this subject "Container homes are engineered to stand their ground against strong winds. The sturdy steel construction of shipping containers provides a robust framework that can resist powerful gusts"

I know what you mean though. There is potential for wind to get under the structure. Would be a simple task to get a structural engineer to draw up some specs' These containers have A twistlock or twist lock, on each corner just attach suitable footing to these I am sure the structural integrity would be up to the task.

@L-i-am

Really good to hear folk are taking ownership and doing the right thing, go Australia indeed.

We think these are new problems?

Cheers Mike, in about 2005 there was a toy called bindeez. Basically they were little beeds where kids would form a coloured pattern of the beads and join them together by spraying them with water and letting it dry. Anyway the Australian toy company decided to get them made in China. In that year there was emergency warning on TV and radio. Seems like the Chinese manufacturer changed the formula to make the product cheaper, hence more profit. The replacement contained "1,4 butylene glycol" that simulates the drug gamma hydroxy butyrate (GHB) (Street name "Grievous bodily harm" a drug not unlike ecstasy if swallowed. children were hospitalised. Then around the same time a Chinese company put melamine in babies formular as that would allow them to water down the milk and the melamine reads as protein, making the mandatory lab test show the milk had the correct amount of protein as per specification. I remember seeing a grandmother buying some Santa clause shaped predominantly red confectionery (clearly made iin China ,at a supermarket I vividly remember cringing😠

@L-i-am Man, This is enchanting. Thanks for sharing.

@majid Majid, you are a talented Architect, Artist and Author, and at the very least bilingual. It you tell me you play the violin or drive a race car I will find you and slap you😠 Whilst in Holland I would see about getting yourself into a Cafe and perhaps partaking in some, not too strong, creative type ganja (providing you are with a trusted friend) and chill the "F" out😉 😜

@ntxdave Use the icon top right next to your avatar - 'Chats' - select who to talk with and you can attach files etc as in the old PM system...

Love the glasswork, beautiful.

@gullfo 😁 😁 😁 , without a clue (GARIBALDI), Google Maps wouldn't help you, you have keen eyes on details.
Also contrary to public belief, I realized German people are very friendly. I went to a bookstore, near the GARIBALDI, talking with the bookseller lady about art books, etc, we became friends! She invited me to their villa near Uffing! His wife Reinhold also was a children's books illustrator. for dinner we met another cartoonist and his wife, We met twice again in Solln, she introduced other friends, and now feel old friends!

@rv1974
I draw in Procreate on my iPad. The first book has sold well but not that I can live from it. Working part time and writing part time for now.

Thanks Rich, some of those terms are beyond me but I will look into it 👍
