ok i am back! i spoke to soon this morning!! things got hairy. tree came down and hit an outbuilding about 3 meters from the house! the power went out, i wasnt bothered to start with because like i said before i had the laptop and dads phone for internet connection so everything was ok. EXCEPT i had forgot i have quail chicks and chicken chicks and a large new batch of quail eggs in the commercial incubator!
we have a generator but it only runs part of the house circuit and it runs at full capacity so i couldn't hook into that!
Spoke with dad and he said as i had chosen to start a egg business it was my problem
so i have borrowed money off dad for a small generator he went and got it and we hooked it up, have lost 6 quail chicks but the rest seem fine, will candle the eggs tomorrow night so fingers crossed, they only been in the incubator 30 hours, dad say's i might have got away with it as it was without power for 2 1/2 hours but should just about of set before power went out. if the eggs are set then you can chill them once in a while for around 3 hours if it isnt too cold!
GUTTED i am going to have to pull my savings from my savings account
Generator and oil (they dont have oil in when new
) and petrol to run it and a petrol container and plug and sockets for the cable and the cable came to £517!!!!!! i have £530 in my savings account
that is my life's savings!! all gone.
But i can see dad's point, he said being in business is a hard job and you got to ride the tough bits, also there is no short cuts and sometimes poo happens (he didnt exactly say poo). so looks like i am in business
