    Jen, love yours and marks content. When working in the old buildings make sure to check for asbestos (the old shed looked like it had an asbestos roof). You can pay professionals to remove it but it's cheaper to buy the correct PPE and do it yourself 👍🏻

    Expensive per month compared to regular Internet but those satellites are not cheap to build or launch. Amazing tech

      Well the point is that Starlink is intended for us without access to “regular Internet.” It’s a game changer out here in the sticks.

    Just a thought but this place will use some power to run and heat. With access to two steams you may want to look into small hydro electric as you could almost certainly generate most if not all of your own power or at least supplement your solar in the winter.

    Great to have a good look around with you. As much as I hate to agree with Mark over Jen on this, I think he’s right about the pool. They are are the very lest a pain in the arse to maintain and usually very expensive as well. Add in being in the UK in an area surrounded by trees and you’re mostly talking about a cold, water filled pit covered with leaves

    Love the video. I was always curious about the Starlink system in England due to line of sight issues. For all the haters on Elon. He has done more positive things for the world than you will ever do or know. Keep the hate on X or Bluesky and not here.

    Great video and looking forward to what you are doing next. Jeff Geerling (UA-camr) has a great project which uses as Raspberry Pi to continuously monitor your Skylink connection and it also deploys Pi-Hole for whole home ad blocking. Really highly recommend for an early warning of Skylink slow downs.
