A DIY enthusiast and his business partner have turned rusty items from the sea into stunning and unique glamping accommodation. Stuart Snape, 40, and Paul Crossen, 46, both from Lancashire, have done up a trawler from the from the sea floor and an old barge that was rusting away. They've even bought an oil rig escape capsule and completely transformed it with new bedroom and outdoor jacuzzi. While Stuart does most of the DIY, Paul is essential for the 'business' side of things. The pair bought this peculiar oil rig escape [https://www.Msnbc.com/search/?q=capsule capsule] off eBay and have converted it into stunning accommodation with bedroom and outdoor jacuzzi The oil escape capsule has been given a make-over and new setting, with outdoor swing and jacuzzi and fairy lights This barge was going nowhere so Paul and Stuart gave it a make-over inside and out to make it habitable again The barge now boasts a living green roof and wooden decking and a stunning interior, and is moored up ready for use Trawler time: This lorry was moving an old decommissioned trawler into place so Stuart and Paul could begin their work on her Pictured: Cosy, comfortable and dry, this is the bedroom inside the trawler - stunning accommodation for someone And [http://infochicket.nodokappa.com/?wptouch_switch=desktop&redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fnewmulti.terri.com%2Fget-control-of-your-clock-and-calendar%2F ibay usa .com] all the items are now for hire via Four Seasons Glamping Pods, on an island on a leisure lake complex in Southport, Merseyside. Paul, who works in finance, said: 'Stuart would be the first to admit he isn't that academic, but he has amazing creative and DIY skills. 'He's completely transformed the island and converted many different items into glamorous places for people to stay. RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share 'Stuart managed to find items no one else would have and ones you'd never think of spending the night in. It's so impressive. 'When he gets something in his head, he gets tunnel vision and makes the image come alive.' One of their first projects was in 2021, transforming an oil rig escape capsule, which Stuart came across on eBay and thought it would make another unique place for their customers to stay. Before: The inside of the [https://Www.Cbsnews.com/search/?q=oil%20rig oil rig] escape capsule was filthy and completely uninhabitable before its transformation During work in progress: This is the oil rig escape capsule during its transformation, having wooden panelling applied to the exterior After: The oil rig escape capsule has been set on the island with a stunning exterior, boasting fairy lights and gravel path and decking Inside of the oil rig escape capsule: It is now fitted out with cosy rug, beds, a chic wooden interior and romantic lamps The outside of the oil rig escape capsule - with wooden decking and lights in the trees to add a relaxed atmosphere Snug and cosy: The oil rig escape capsule now boasts this stunning bedroom, a completely unique place to stay It needed everything doing to it - being them right back to the shell, re-painted, made waterproof and then given a fully remastered interior. But after transforming that, a year later in 2022 he then set his sights on an old trawler. Paul said: 'Stuart had his eye on an old trawler which had sunk to the bottom of the sea at Glasson Dock. 'He asked if he could pull it out and use it for one of his conversions, to which he was told he'd be doing them a favour. He arranged a crane, pulled the trawler from the seabed, and got to work. He dug a hole, put the trawler in place, and decked the area around it. 'Stuart gutted the inside of the dirty old structure and decorated it beautifully. It also included a bar area and a jacuzzi. 'You'd never know he fished it out of dirty water. It's impressive.' After: The trawler was dragged up off the bottom of the sea bed by a crane - but now it boasts TV, bar, hot tub and a stunning interior The trawler (pictured) now has a new home on land, surrounded by wooden fencing and a green hedge It's best not to think about what the old bathroom on the trawler would have looked like, but this was is new, quirky and stylishly finished In October, the due also bought a barge which they described as a 'rusty old shell'. Stuart began working on it in May when better weather came, remastering it into a modern-looking boat structure with a wooden exterior. He then added an extra annexe which houses a stylish bar area as well as a hot tub. It is not just the renovations of these project that takes ingenuity, however. Once completed, the duo then have to get them over to the island so they can be set up ready for use by guests. Paul said: 'Getting the materials over to the island to complete these transformations, such as cranes, trucks and building materials was tough, but we always find a way.' While Stuart has done most of the DIY, Paul sorts the social media, advertising, and business side of glamping project. Before: When they first got the barge, it was rotten, wet and filthy, and in need of total renovation, which Stuart lovingly did During - Stuart hard at work on the barge. He does most of the practical work, while Paul is mainly in charge of the admin side After: Following its conversion, the barge now boasts a bar area and stylish decor, plus plenty of green foliage The barge may inevitably be long and thin inside, but the imaginative duo have still managed to make a lovely pad to stay in And Stuart is so dedicated his life to perfecting the transformations that he even lives on the island himself in a caravan. Paul added: 'We've created a total island experience, and during the summer it feels like you could be abroad. 'It's like being in a bubble. 'I don't think there's anywhere else in the country where you could holiday in an oil rig escape capsule or a recovered trawler, especially if you saw the condition they were in before Stuart worked his magic on them. 'It's even more impressive he's completed all this work himself. It's amazing.'

id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body" data-component="trackCWV"> There's nothing worse than getting stuck with a dead car battery, especially if you're busy and on a schedule. You can't always rely on someone nearby having jumper cables, either. And you definitely don't want to spend the money to get a professional if you can help it. That's why being self-reliant and getting your own portable jump starter is so important. As soon as your car battery dies, you can get it up and running almost as quickly. Portable jump starters can be charged with an extension cord, wall-plug adapter, cigarette lighter-style 12-volt male adapter or a USB port in running vehicles. That means you can recharge your jump starter as soon as it recharges your vehicle. The best portable battery jump starters offer some combination of those four options. These portable batteries do what they were originally intended to do: boost the dead battery to make a vehicle start. All battery boosters come with jumper clamps that attach to the auto battery terminals, and nearly all include reverse polarity protection. Some come with easily installed, semipermanent attachments that let you quickly connect them to your vehicle's starting electrics without the booster clamps. Most of these battery jump starters have some sort of flash or area light and at least one USB port to charge electronics like phones and tablets. When it comes to jump starter packs, those features are only the start. A portable jump starter battery is a good insurance policy to have in your car. Schumacher What else can it do? On a single charge, a portable car battery pack or charger can power your high-draw several times longer than its own built-in battery. Want a battery booster with a built-in air compressor so you can fill up your raft at the lake or a low tire before you head home from the airport? No problem. Would you also like a jump starter or battery charger with an AC inverter so you can plug in a radio, a lamp or another small appliance during a power failure or at a campsite? Done. These power pack devices are basically the ultimate power bank. Do you need to charge your phone and another USB device (your kid's , for example) at the same time? Many of these have a dual USB port to accommodate your charging needs. To be sure, these features add bulk and mass to a jumper pack (these devices won't fit in your glove box), but their value in capability, [http://www.sevi.net/rv_nserver/www/delivery/ck.php?ct=1&oaparams=2__bannerid=106__zoneid=2__cb=21ba5cfa11__oadest=http://dinaalliance.com/en/component/k2/item/1-best-quality-products .com ibay u.s.a] convenience and preparation can more than surpass the extra weight. After all, you want to have enough power to prepare for pretty much any emergency on the road. Criteria for choosing the best portable car battery charger We've assembled a list of our favorite portable car batteries, from basic jump starters to personal power units with battery capacity for camping trips or power outages. We've based our best jump starter recommendations on testing labs such as Consumer Reports, user ratings at popular shopping sites and hands-on experience. Some portable jump start batteries have other useful features such as air compressors, charge ports for phones, and lights. Black & Decker Here, in alphabetical order, are our highly rated favorites for best portable jump starter options. We'll be updating this list periodically as we review new options. If you think you want a portable car battery jump starter and battery charger, check the pro tips on safety and proper care that follow. Antigravity This is the latest evolution of the top-rated XP-10 car jump starter. It has all the same features, including the LED flashlight with a strobe and multiple charging options for electronic devices, but the heavy duty car battery jump starter can deliver an extra 50 amps of peak starting jolt. It also comes with all copper, heavy-duty commercial grade battery jumper cable clamps. DeWalt The DeWalt DXAEJ14 makes our best [https://www.reddit.com/r/howto/search?q=portable portable] jump starter list with a 4.4 stars rating across 450 buyer reviews at Home Depot's shopping site. This car jump starter has an expansive 21 amp hour battery, an onboard compressor and a patented feature that can tell you if your vehicle's alternator is up to snuff. There's a light and USB ports, but the DeWalt's biggest draw is the power in its initial jump-start jolt. At 700 cranking amps, it's rated among the most powerful portables on the market. NOCO The NOCO Boost GB40 portable jump looks like it's all business. Consumer Reports liked NOCO for its jump starting, but didn't like its low storage capacity for powering other devices. This jump starter device has a flashlight and one five-volt USB port, but it can be pricey for its capacity and relative lack of features. Schumacher From a trusted name in automotive electronics, the Schumacher ProSeries 2250 Jump Starter gets 100% satisfaction from buyers on several shopping sites. This car jump starter has a vibration-resistant absorbent glass mat battery, a 400-watt AC inverter with two plugs and enough cranking amps to start just about any light-to medium-duty vehicle with a dead battery out there. Best of all, it comes with one of the largest capacity batteries you'll find. Schumacher says it can feed a 200-watt AC draw for 55 minutes, and 100 watts for 90 minutes. Schumacher This one violates the spirit of this list because it's only a jump starter -- no LED flashlight, USB charge port or anything else. It made it because it's really cool, as it applies the next wave in electrical storage technology: ultracapacitors. Once referred to as condensers, capacitors store energy electrostatically in an electric field. Compared to chemical-based batteries, they store relatively little energy, but the advantages are significant. Modern ultracapacitors can absorb energy quickly and dump it in big jolts, as opposed to something more like a trickle with a battery. And they can operate effectively in a broader temperature range than most batteries. That makes them perfect for jumping a weak car battery. The Schumacher Ultracapacitor Hybrid Jump Starter delivers 900 amps of cranking power, which should fire just about anything up to a semi-truck. It has a small, replaceable lithium ion battery to prime the ultracapacitors, but if the onboard battery is drained it will still prep the ultracapacitors in roughly two minutes on a 12-volt charge from a vehicle (maybe even the weakened battery in the vehicle that needs a jump). In other words, it's never really dead. It's intended primarily for commercial purposes and it's not cheap. But if you want the coolest, most fail-proof portable jump starter out there, this might be it. Pro tips Portable car batteries and chargers aren't significantly regulated and as Consumer Reports has noted, some manufacturers' performance claims are dubious. Always read the fine print. For safety, look for batteries that are certified for compliance with Edison Testing Labs/Intertec or UL standards. Always think about temperature. Manufacturers recommend not storing batteries in high-temp environments. If you want to keep a battery in your car, keep it out of direct sunlight in the glove box -- or better -- the trunk. In the summer months, it's better to grab it when you start your trip and take it out of the car when you get home. Then there's the other extreme. Anyone vaguely familiar with batteries knows that they're not terribly fond of extreme cold. Consumer reports found that when both the jump starter and the weak car battery were cooled to zero degrees, the performance of even the best portable jump starter options degraded significantly. If it's really cold out, warm the portable battery indoors or inside a car first and keep it as warm as possible before you use it to jump a vehicle. Chemistry does matter when it comes to the care and feeding of a car jumper. Conventional sealed lead-acid cells are heavier and discharge more rapidly than lithium ion batteries when they sit idle, but they can also be less [https://www.martindale.com/Results.aspx?ft=2&frm=freesearch&lfd=Y&afs=sensitive sensitive] to temperature extremes and to significant physical impacts. Either way, the care strategy with sealed lead-acid or absorbent glass mat is straightforward. Keep the battery charge as close to full as possible as much of the time as possible. The chemistry of your portable jumper's battery matters when it comes to caring for it. DeWalt "When you get it, charge it fully," says Dan Portwood, senior product manager at Baccus Global, a manufacturer of multiple jump-starter brands. "After you use it, for a jump or something else, recharge it fully. If it sits idle for a month or two, recharge it fully. That limits the amount of sulfur in the cells and ensures both the maximum capacity and the longest life." Whatever the chemistry, it's virtually impossible to overcharge a jump-start battery. That means you can plug it in and forget it for days at a time. Yet Portwood doesn't recommend charging all the time. That keeps the charge block consistently warm (whether the block is external or built into the battery case), and can shorten its useful life. The lithium-polymer cells in more compact car jump starters and chargers hold more energy for the relative size. They also hold a charge longer than sealed lead acid when they're idle, but they can be a bit more finicky. To maximize performance over the long haul and ensure maximum life, a more active approach might be in order. "If you have a reputable brand with good cell structure, you have a good foundation," said Chad Estevez, a product support specialist at Antigravity. "Try not to store it in temperature extremes, and don't leave it sitting for a year at a time. Treat it like a cell phone and exercise the cells. Use it every couple of months. Drain it a bit in some fashion, and then put it on the charger."

Vettraino. Portable jump starter FAQs What kind of portable battery jump starter do I need? When choosing a portable battery jump starter, the first thing you'll want to consider is what you're planning on using it for. Most car battery jump starters and battery chargers offer some flexibility, but some portable car jump starter options are more limited in what you can do with them. If you're not worried about running a small television when the power fails, you probably shouldn't worry about getting a portable car battery with a built-in AC inverter, so make sure the battery pack features have enough power and are right for your needs. How many amps should a portable jump starter have? Many portable jump starters indicate the starting amps. This is particularly important if you plan to use your portable battery primarily for its original purpose: jump starting engines. A big V8 engine -- particularly a diesel engine -- could require upwards of 500 ampere current to turnover a dead battery on a cold day. If that's what you need to do, you'll have a harder time doing it with a battery jump starter intended for a four-cylinder. Most manufacturers rate their portable car starters and motorcycle jump starter batteries for types of engines, so read the fine print for your jump starter battery. Look for starting or cranking amps, and don't worry much about the peak amps. Does total storage capacity matter in portable jump starters? Usually measured in amp hours or milliamp hours (1,000 mAh equals 1 Ah), total storage capacity matters more if you plan to use your portable jump starter battery and portable car battery charger as a backup or mobile power source. A higher number means more electrical storage capacity. Typical portable batteries are rated from five to 22 amp hours. What about battery chemistry of portable jump starters? The chemistry composition of portable car batteries can run the gamut, from sealed lead acid battery options to absorbent glass mat to lithium jump battery starter and, recently, ultracapacitors. The chemistry matters less for ultimate utility and more for weight, size and, to a lesser extent, cost. If you want something you can keep in your glove box, it's probably not going to be a sealed lead-acid battery booster. What other portable jump starter features do I need to look for? Many portable jump starters come with additional features, but the issue is size and weight. Add all of the features in one unit and the jump starter gets much bulkier, with weight exceeding 30 pounds. For some purposes -- camping trips for example -- that may not matter much. On the other hand, you may not want to be carrying one of the bigger portable car batteries around in your . Some manufacturers, including the highly rated Antigravity brand, are starting to offer separate accessories like a small, powerful air compressor that work with their paperback-size lithium-polymer jump starter batteries, but this approach tends to add to the cost.
