Remember; it's only a war crime if you loose!

I don't really think, what Hitler and Stalin did to Poland can be considered as "snuggles".

It's kind of interesting. This really seems to be a recurring"people with glasses" -thing. I have family members with glasses who almost consequently open the oven, get their glasses fogged up, and go like; "who turned off the lights?" Personally I don't stick my head into the steam coming out of the oven, because it stings the eyes like a motherfucker, when you aren't wearing "safety glasses" all the time.

I had it as well. Stopping the app and clearing the cache took care of it for me (on Android).

I'm not talking about a pad though? I'm talking about som small piers at the corners and perhaps in the middle of the span. What are you on about?

I'd probably use a jack and some cribbing to level the shed and support it temporarily between the current "foundations". Then I'd remove those stacks of pavers, dig holes for puring some concrete piers and attach some post anchors to the bottom beam of the shed. Then I'd make some molds to extend the concrete piers up to the bottom of those anchors and pour the concrete. Let the concrete set, remove the temporary cribbing, and done.

Catch me on the interstate, doing doughnuts -whoa!

Pretty cool concept, but by those metrics, normal hydroponic cultivation of crops would be "carbon negative" as well if supplied from a similar power source. This is less about the algae, and more about the energy source for the artificial grow-lights etc...

That's not true. Basically every pre 2000s Euro Ford ran 4x108mm bolt pattern. Same as many Peugeots. Sierra, Escort, Fiesta, Focus the first 2 Mondeos, all ran it. They do look a lot like Escort wheels but are not quite right. Logos could simply have been removed or fallen off. They might just be generic aftermarket alloy wheels.

The joint from copper to steel might be a breeding ground for galvanic corrosion. I'd probably consider changing as much pipe as you can feasibly reach without tearing the rest of the house apart. If you can reach under/through, or make an access hole in the supporting wall, and then replace the pipe as far in as you can reach with modern PEM pipe (or whatever you use for buried pipe where you are from), from there to the boundary cock. Then you can leave the rest until you renovate other parts of the house, or until it becomes a problem. Plastic also gives you some galvanic isolation, which protects the rest of the galvanized piping. And then you have made sure you won't have to tear up your nice new floor down the road.
