The JCB 3CX ended up with a puncture! Watch one man and his dog try fixing it!
As they say rain stops play, well it wasn't rain for a change, I had a slow puncture. I had to pump it up every three or four days, now its daily. Being off-grid and having to use the compressor, meant having to use the Gennie, which is not great, so it had to be done. It had been put off long enough. Molly didn't help much!
We are a family of four living off-grid in the UK. We moved from the comfort of our newly renovated house in Kent with all mod-cons in 2016 to a remote wet and unhabitable property in the Welsh hills, with no mains electric. Our two sons were just 5 and 7. We were not prepared for what life threw at us but we were ready for an adventure. The adventure is ongoing, join us in our success and failures we promise to make you laugh and maybe cry along the way. Get your hands dirty, and give it a go!
