Walked the dogs, cut the paths on the community project, rebuilt a mower i had welded the deck on, put it on the drive for sale...

Pan fried with roast veg that was our supper.

 Washed the Hyundia. Topped up the diesel. Checked tyre pressures, oil and coolant. Neighbour came over with a self propelled mower she'd just bought. Put it together for her.

 Packed spare clothes etc Loaded most of what we're taking. Moved the rabbit. Mowed the lawn.

 

 Come morning, Wales here we come. :handgestures-thumbupright:

Went for a lovely walk in the woods up a hill across the street from the house. 

Cool part was we found a legit trail that I'd read about.

Reminds me of a similar view from PR a few weeks back...  I took this, but did a little enhancing with the iPad...

Made it through over 140 pages of Michael Martino’s “Straight From the Horses Mouth” today.  I am torn.  Finish it tonight, or save some for later?  Why not just re-read it again? :handgestures-thumbupright:

How are you fastening that Kev tie wraps?? if so you are doing it a little bass ackwards! My first in floor job many moons ago that  was how we did it and the last time. Automatic staplers with the mesh over that is the only way to fly. very seldom do the concrete guys use mesh anymore anyway.

Yeah Jim, zip ties to the grid.  The cement is fiberglas reinforced So the grid is simply layout.  I realize there are staples, but this works too I suppose.

Its 4 am here and we are under a large thunderstorm cell. Lots of lightning and thunder which is stressing the dogs out. So we are all sitting up reading lol.

Been waiting for it for days.

We say outside last night with a cup of tea at 11pm watching that in the distance, never heard any thunder so it was a good distance away.

You needed to go to the top of the nearest hill, I think on a clear day you should be able to see Yorkshire then.

As avid mountain hikers, Trina and I have been to the highest points in Maine and New Hampshire and many many of the surrounding hills.

I can't quite see Europe from here. I'm sure it's close.

Bringing this seriously off topic topic back on track 😁 

 

I had a sh!t job this weekend adding another feed into the septic tank. 3 hours laid down core drilling diagonally through two layers of engineering brick.

then if that wasn’t bad enough the wheelbarrow fell over as I was emptying the mixer 🙁

I drove to Aberdeen, the heavy rain made my five hour trip take seven hours! Stuck in endless traffic, then passed Stonehaven minutes before the big train crash, the other side of the road erupted in emergency vehicles but I had no idea why until getting onboard the ship. Thoughts for the survivors, I used to use that service all the time.

@JCM @WHX24 how important is it to deburr the pipes in a lower pressure lower speed plumbing system like this, vs the system in a house?  I am cutting my edges clean, just curious.

 

I’m building the manifolds in a “reverse return” method.  The theory in multiple water heater plumbing is that this will effectively balance an otherwise unbalanced system.  I hope the same proves true for this system.
