You can see the gap between the 2 buildings where the large tree used to stand, if it came my way it would have lain across the garage

Oh!...and you might see a drunken BYAP GH in the foreground...I highly recommend the duratough GH film – did not let go or rip in any part, kept the frame all together :D

I was watching at the height of the storm and saw the GH take on a distinct lean, then watched as it straightened up and was pushed over again :roll:

The “lean” from the other end...you can see the bricks under the FT and the stack alongside with the water mark – the bricks would have absorbed some water and make the level higher – but those are 200mm high each :shock:


...and the carnage in the GH...celery stalks snapped at the base...but there is some cherry toms glowing in ripeness...silver beet lying over a bit, along with a lot of other plants :roll:

The harvest (82)
320mm...563g
320mm...623g
310mm...545g
250mm...222g
240mm...226g
Those are the largest and smallest

Power lost during the storm and it seems that water got into the backup wiring and so that failed...found the fish belly up in the morning and so started extracting them, thinking I had lost the lot.

I have got the water recirculating again and have found 2 live ones still in the tank (maybe more when I can get the water clear to check properly)

.....Bugger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Honey, seen as I'm going to have to rebuild the greenhouse, I was thinking I might make a few modifications...." :wink:

Maybe they didn't hear the weather report and it was a bit of a shock to them?

You could chop off the end on one of your legs...then you wouldn't notice the lean

Bugger Les - We copped a heap of rain at Scarborough, but luckily not much wind (or at least not as much as you!).

Thankfully, I just installed a sump and the new overflow from the FT meant no escapes. If you need a hand with the GH, let me know and I'll help out.
