Dont tell the wife about that one..I stand dumbfoundedly corrected and happily so.
Just made a pot of tea after parking up for the night near Newark and found another £20 note in the cubby hole under the dashboard. It's been a genuinely great day and this has made it even better. I've never had a tip like this in all my working life so this is one of those red letter days for me!!

Always nice when someone appreciates what you do. It's not always about the money - rarely is IMO - but to find it and know someone wanted you to have it, but didn't want to give you the opportunity to say no means a great deal.I stand dumbfoundedly corrected and happily so.

It has a thermostat so will only be on when required, we now use an electric heater keep an insulated 8ft x 10ft greenhouse above 5 deg. C over winter, it is a lot more convenient than the propane heater it replaced with the added bonus of reduced condensation.

Even taking the thermostat into account it's going to be very expensive, the propane operated thermostatic stand heaters workout much cheaper according to most of my gardening friends plus you get the Co2 & moisture to help grow the plants .
This type with the thermostat is brilliant

While I agree with you I do have doubts as to the long term. If say 50 % follow their fathers and 50% follow them and so on it wont take long for the remaining few to be legislated out of existence. In some parts of the states it is illegal to own or work on anything in your own workshop/garage. ( so I've been told)

Not when you are growing these.
Moisture during winter for these plants is a very bad thing, dry and frost free and they are happy, it all depends what you are growing.

Love these oxy stuff.
got a massive amount of brazing rods collected over the past years.
2.5kg 45ish ag cd rods are going to recycle now. 0,57€ per grams silver. Got this for peanuts.
Originally would like to keep it but I discovered about 2kg casto 1020xfc for about nothing. So there is no need for harmful cd.
Very lucky in the past and are going to be serious business in this way.

I'm just guessing, @redlig, but I wonder if your source might have heard about some restrictive covenant pertaining to a private residential subdivision or condominium development, or perhaps a specialized zoning restriction particular to some specific neighborhood. Generally speaking, I'd say that things are VERY relaxed here in the US regarding working on your own projects in your own garage or workshop.
I've lived in eight different states and visited almost all 50 over the years, and I can't think of a single state where I would be at all concerned about being prevented from building things in my own garage or workshop. I've personally never run into any restrictions that have curtailed my own garage/workshop activities.Naturally, there could be restrictions in various local zoning ordinances, such as in a designated "residential only" neighborhood, which might prevent me from operating a "business" out of my garage, or possibly limit the nature of that business. Or possibly some zoning that might forbid something like a specific hazardous, polluting, noisy activity, etc., etc., (probably a bit more common in high-density population areas). Or there could be some private residential subdivisions (or condominiums, etc.) with restrictive covenants that were set up by the homeowner association in that subdivision to limit certain activities that they feel are contrary to the intended design and nature of the subdivision (but I would probably not buy a house in such a subdivision). My impression is that those types of restrictions are likely to be encountered in almost any country.
Generally speaking, things tend to be pretty relaxed in the US about what you can and can't do.
As an example, in many (maybe most?) areas of the US, a homeowner can carry out plumbing and electrical work on his/her own owner-occupied home, as long as they take out a plumbing or electrical permit and have the work inspected by the local code enforcement officer to make sure the work is done to code. There are a few smaller communities here and there that don't even require an inspection, which might be a little too permissive.
