Light drizzle did not dampen our spirits.

Attachment: P9090272 (Medium).JPG [ 113.67 KiB \| Viewed 8587 times ] We arrived at the high school around midday and singed in for our visitors passes. Attachment: P9090219 (Medium).JPG [ 89.39 KiB \| Viewed 8589 times ] What a pleasant sight to arrive to a level concrete pad, fortunately the weather condition allowed us a dry installation, as the rain held off. Although the system will be situated in a greenhouse the film will be put in place at a later stage. Attachment: P9090222 (Medium).JPG [ 75.67 KiB \| Viewed 8588 times ] We had plenty of room to manouvre and Katrina explained that she would also like to grow some fruit trees in pots in the greenhouse. There is still good access and space even with a complete 5 bed system.

Attachment: P9090224 (Medium).JPG [ 83.34 KiB \| Viewed 8586 times ] At this point I had the whip out and began delegating left, right and centre. See how fast they are moving. Attachment: P9090226 (Medium).JPG [ 50.16 KiB \| Viewed 8584 times ] Started remembering how to install a system as the last involvement I had was at a Margaret River winery around 18 months ago. Ooops I missed glueing one pipe and when we ran the test, we blew an elbow. 3 strikes and you're out, we had a laugh.

The job went smoothly and we had a good run finishing easily before dark. Not bad after a four hour drive from Perth.

The boys admiring a job well done.
After retiring to the Gloucester Motel and having a scrub, we wandered accross to the bar for a lovely hot meal accompanied by a local red wine, Woodgate Cabernet sauvignon. Early getaway from Pemberton, via the Big Apple bakery in Donnybrook we made it back in time for the traditional Friday bbq luch at the BYAP shop. :cheers:

The hunter gatherers headed out to get milk for Peters home made muesli and Johns weetbix. I was made a cup of tea before packing up and getting on our way. You can tell by the blur just how fast this pair were working in the kitchen.

Woah! Thats some good whipping to get everything set up so quickly, well done Faye The greenhouse will probably be a sight to see, and with loads of high school kids running it the system ought to do well, long as they don't start throwing freshmen into the FT

Abdul, we dont call them freshmen or sophmores in australia. We call them year 8's or year 9's in western australia.

Post subject:	Re: Pemberton District High School

gotta say it never happened to me at school and i never heard of it happening to any of my mates. I am an old fart though (1965) I believe americans get right into that. We never had cheerleaders either.
