Gotta love em.....

Had a mate who came home to find out his missus had cleaned up his house for him. Even polished his acoustic guitar and removed that old stain from the front. :dontknow:

It was a signature guitar signed by Eric Clapton. She is still paying for that one... :upset:


Eh...GOL. Not so funny.

Finally got around to upgrading the piping on the supply water to the Gb's this was instigated by finding some 50mm pvc pipe in a mates skip bin. So now I have a short length of 40 hose going to a 50mm manifold with 32 feeding 2 x 25 poly feeds to the GB.

after fitting the new manifold and cam-lock couplings, the pump packed up,

Made it a lot easier to change to the spare pump!

ended up buying a Relun 15000, seems to work good.

While I was fitting up the new pump I re-organised the electrics.

Put the power boards and timer in a UV stabilized toolbox.

after rain and hail it seems to have survived with everything dry inside.

That looks pretty neat, might have to pinch that idea.

Nice and neat, Slowboat. I used one of these in mine too just in case there was a build up of humidity within the box etc.

It hasn't seen a summer yet but so far it's coolish, water has been around 19° C for a while now and down to 14° C min. I think it will be a good hiding place during summer :)

It's recovering after the hail storm. corn broccoli and beans going good.

tomatoes seem to be struggling, might try planting some more cuttings?

I think I'll have a bean salad for lunch today.
