Mickwhitt 4,612 #553 Posted August 9, 2020 Walked the dogs, cut the paths on the community project, rebuilt a mower i had welded the deck on, put it on the drive for sale... A guy I met on a dog walk dropped off a few brace of wood pigeon he shot yesterday. Pan fried with roast veg that was our supper. 4 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,981 #554 Posted August 9, 2020 Washed the Hyundia. Topped up the diesel. Checked tyre pressures, oil and coolant. Neighbour came over with a self propelled mower she'd just bought. Put it together for her. Packed spare clothes etc Loaded most of what we're taking. Moved the rabbit. Mowed the lawn. Come morning, Wales here we come. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,834 #557 Posted August 10, 2020 Made it through over 140 pages of Michael Martino’s “Straight From the Horses Mouth” today. I am torn. Finish it tonight, or save some for later? Why not just re-read it again? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,814 #559 Posted August 10, 2020 How are you fastening that Kev tie wraps?? if so you are doing it a little bass ackwards! My first in floor job many moons ago that was how we did it and the last time. Automatic staplers with the mesh over that is the only way to fly. very seldom do the concrete guys use mesh anymore anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,834 #561 Posted August 10, 2020 Yeah Jim, zip ties to the grid. The cement is fiberglas reinforced So the grid is simply layout. I realize there are staples, but this works too I suppose. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We say outside last night with a cup of tea at 11pm watching that in the distance, never heard any thunder so it was a good distance away. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 2,570 #570 Posted August 12, 2020 Bringing this seriously off topic topic back on track 😁 I had a sh!t job this weekend adding another feed into the septic tank. 3 hours laid down core drilling diagonally through two layers of engineering brick. then if that wasn’t bad enough the wheelbarrow fell over as I was emptying the mixer 🙁 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan.gerous 2,696 #571 Posted August 12, 2020 I drove to Aberdeen, the heavy rain made my five hour trip take seven hours! Stuck in endless traffic, then passed Stonehaven minutes before the big train crash, the other side of the road erupted in emergency vehicles but I had no idea why until getting onboard the ship. Thoughts for the survivors, I used to use that service all the time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,834 #575 Posted August 12, 2020 @JCM @WHX24 how important is it to deburr the pipes in a lower pressure lower speed plumbing system like this, vs the system in a house? I am cutting my edges clean, just curious. I’m building the manifolds in a “reverse return” method. The theory in multiple water heater plumbing is that this will effectively balance an otherwise unbalanced system. I hope the same proves true for this system.
