Happy 500th posting to me , thought it would be appropriate to put it here - sorry Jaymie you didn't catch me

Congrats LKB!!!! don't worry She'll be there before you now it!(this is her husband! Jaymie can't log on from home at the moment which is why it has been quiet for a day or so, Haven't found the problem yet but we can't access this page from home, I am logged in at work no worries at all!)Have fun,Jme's bitch

thanks - just gave J some incentive (not that it is needed)
the site was down earlier ths morning 0 don't know if that was a cause??

Apparently I needed to have an alternative DNS on the system. Now, this means nothing to me apart from IT'S FIXED AND I'M BAAAACCCKK!

The posting "Recovery Period" had taken on new meaning for me. Restlessness was rapidly approaching coma from withdrawals!

well, a small update.

I finished applying the seal to the tank. I now have a large galvanised iron tank, with 2.2m3 of concrete in it, (kindly applied by C1). The steel walls and the raised section of concrete is now black. Might make it interesting to find the fish, but the bottom of the tank is still grey (or rapidly becoming tannin stained)

The data sheet for the seal says you have to leave it for 10 days before putting the water in. After the small amount of rain today I can see why. The seal is dribbling a lovely dark red/brown into the water. I think we'll siphon that lot out!

The silvers won't be available until December, so we have some weeks to get ready.

Alex is on holidays for 2 weeks next week, so the poor man won't be getting any rest, I have heaps of AP work lined up for him, starting with.... GRAVEL!

Hi ya.
Trust the dribble will stop soon.
This is required because the product is safer than the quick cure ones on the market that hide their out gassing(mask).

yeah, I know, but hurry faster!

LOL.. are you saying I brought the rain?
cause its raining in SA too.
Was planing some cement works at Mons before I go tommorow(?)

we had 16mm rain yesterday, and it's still drizzly here today. I have a whole day with nothing planned, plenty of time to get stuff done and its raining. I can't apply seal to the grow beds cos its water based.

Oh well, maybe I'll make a fruit cake instead.

Cider makes the rain stop don't it?

Glad your back up Jaymie, nice to hear from your bitch too.....

Hopefully the site problems are fixed now...... hopefully.....

cider makes everything better!

The bitch, hhmmmm, he doesn't get on to his brewing forum often enough, so he has to hijack this one. I keep telling him to register himself, but it hasn't happened yet. I think he likes messing with my postings.

The sealing of the tank took a couple of days and I used a lovely urky stuff commonly called "Goop".

A couple of coats later and here it is!

Now we wait 10 days for the goop to gas off before water is put in on a permanent basis.
