RE: Hotbins - Spec - 31-01-2021
Looking for some thoughts, I have aquiered some insulation paneling, some of which I will need to glue together, all clean square cuts so no problem glueing them, but would it be any advantage sticking them onto thin exterior plywood and if you think yes should it go on the inside or the outside of a home made hot bin

Hope this helps!! Its like a butterfly valve in a carburettor. Its at the recommended angle at the moment.

Here is the first pic of my ongoing attempt, I reckon its about 40% complete.
Looking at the front panel it needs to move up so the gap is at the bottom, this first gap is to remove the tray that will hopefully catch the liquid.
Another section needs to be cut from the front to view/remove ready compost. I'd like to say the three section front was a genius idea by me but no, the first section I cut was too small!
I've not done anything on it for a few weeks as me and No.2 kept losing patience with one another
The bottom, top, and inside sections have been cut but may need amending.
The straight uncut edges are at the bottom, the cut edges at the top hence it looks a bit squint!
As it's supposedly raining/snowing for most of tomorrow it's back on the agenda, this time I will need to break Mrs B's spirit

Mr Greedy has settled in a comfy pattern - 35C on his head and 50C in his tummy.
He's making me very happy.
