The 'D' shackles on the ground are, but I have my doubts about the galv. looking ones they have used to form the chain loop I have my doubts about. As you and I know it only takes one week link (excuse the pun)

Been busy there (I've been busy lately too so haven't been online much myself.)

I noticed the grate over the dump valve and was thinking that a solid cap over that might be a good idea to keep debris, crusher dust, gravel, etc out of the well there where the valve is. otherwise over time stuff would build up around the valve making it harder and harder to operate.

Cool looking turbine.

I too am interested in what the solutions were for the film and the wind, or is it just the straps and such that had not been sent before?

By the way, that pump makes the fish tank look smaller than I think it really is 8)

TCL, the valve pit has a plastic insert under the grill to prevent the ingress of debris..

Cut the new panel sections into the end of the greenhouse to repair the tear...

(excess visable has been trimmed ... :wink: )

I'll actually replace the left hand side panel later, as it still has several small holes in it... and will neaten it up like the right hand side panel...

All in all, it's come up OK...
