I’ve been building this #selfbuild garden room since the beginning of summer and now the door & windows are in it’s beginning to look proper. This is about as far as I can go with the outside as the cladding is a spring job, but the electrics go in next week and then I can finish the inside.

Further to last week’s Interesting #Question, it appears that frost doesn’t form in the shadow of the tree. So then, is this due to lack of moisture or an increased temperature in that area?

Here’s an interesting* #question. The thaw pattern on the Megashed roof follows the overhang of the neighbour’s tree. So did the tree prevent the frost from forming or has it accelerated the thaw?

I know we shit on generative AI for very valid reasons, but I’ll be fucked if it doesn’t write an excellent business case from only a single sentence prompt.
Little bit more specifics in the prompt and I’ll have saved myself about a day’s work and probably a month of procrastination and anxiety.

Good breakdown of the actual impact of the inheritance tax changes on farms.
The £1m is ON TOP of standard exemptions. So it's £1.3m tax-free if includes a residence. £2.6m if the spouse inherits. £3m if kids get some too.
And the tax is on surplus, not the total.
