Post subject:  The day Gnash came to town to join BYAP

The system here had to be split between a green house and a shadehouse and around a central pole. It coincided with a very important event "Gnash arriving from Kalgoorlie, a town about 5 1/2 hours east of Perth. The full team were on high alert and systems are now going in at a rate of 1 per week. There is no rest for the wicked here.

The crew arrived early ready for the day ahead, the system was loaded ready for transport and off they went.

The job was to retrofit a shadehouse connected to a greenhouse. It was an interesting fit as the structures were side by side and an opening had to be cut to connect the growbeds through the walls.

The greenhouse attached to the shade house will allow the clients to grow more frost sensitive plants through the winter and extend their growing times by keeping the environment warmer.

Intricate work in progress as space can sometimes be an issue, how many people does it take to check the piping?

A job well done and the finished product documented on film before the crew returned to base for a well earned drink.

System installations are now fine tuned and run smootly so they can take as little as a few hours. It sounds easy but lots of preparation is done before hand to ensure thinks are easy on the day.

Was a real good day all round, the system went together well and I learnt a few different tricks from the crew regarding building.

Joel even showed us how to make Jack Daniels disappear :D (even though I knew how it was done, I still patientley watched, learnt and then helped with the process :roll: )

Thanks for a good day guy's :cheers:
