Weekend projects

[jay see]

Don't think there was a topic, so there's one now.

Time to give this welder a bit of a run.
Cut up a heap of steel at work this morning. First project was a gill for the spit.

Next is a bench to replace the rotten timber one that knocked down. Pics to come.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2020/09/48.jpg

If its for cooking why not season it rather than paint it JC? Innocent question, I don't know if painting is bad or not for that.

Material is smooth flat (don't know the correct term) don't think it's porous. Idea is to throw some heat beads in and a gill on top. Paint is only to pretty up the outside.

Bloody lovely! . . Been busy making the most of lockdown in the garden this year and finally getting all the drainage sorted in the drive as our place always ends up with a lake after a good downpour. . Amazing how much fill comes out of the trenches so knocked over a couple of other jobs too. . Ran a heap of fill down for next year's job fixing the dam, but also re did area used for a burn pile. Have a good amount of land but most being pretty steep every little bit of flat land is worth its weight in gold lol. . Leveled good area with access down to it. . . Sooo good can back a ute down or perfect to load with little Vermeer beats do'n stuff by hand [emoji106]http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2020/09/53.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2020/09/54.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2020/09/55.jpg

8 and a half acres. She's long and narrow, that track is our land and wasnt there when we moved in. There was an overgrown track coming down from the other side of the dam which I assume was put in at the same time. Got it linked up years ago and probably best thing we've done to the property i reckon sooo much more useable. .

Has been a nightmare_Concrete Water Tank repairs, finished yesterday(took best part of 10 days full time).

In May 20 had 3 x 120,000 litre concrete water tanks poured, originally wanted only two (water reserve for fire fighting and irrigation for vegies_gravity feed 20m), but the 2nd pour (on hill) was real suss as mix was going off (the formwork not ready in time). Resulted in large pockets in wall (could see wall mesh).

These contractors were crap in my life, they offered to repair the suss tank and pour a third free, and so we did but at the end of the day all 3 leaked. Was so pis...ed off with the whole deal(lots of $$$s), they stuffed about with me so much, I ended up getting them to supply $1500 worth materials and did the repair job myself (locked the gate).

These tanks are 8.5m dia x 2.4m (h). Repair consisted: one repaired from outside as it was 3/4 full with rainwater_success), two on the hill consisted of patching up honey come defects / holes inside and then applying (brush/boom) water proofing cement based coating to entire walls/floors.

Came up pretty well and now just need to wait few week to completely cure and then fill with dam water(excess solar pwr_fill nom 24hrs each).

Only way out_do the job yourself...

Neat looking retaining wall coming together there Rossco, some serious lifting and must be glad for the pincher helpers haha.

The tanks were so humid to work inside of and still dealing with the heat rash (such a long way around the inside walls). Looking fwd to seeing result(few weeks away/cure time).

Did fill the 2 on the hill prior, but of course emptied for repair, they give good pressure/flow for fire hose at house (20m head/nozzle water throw good 15m). 50% improvement over the turkey nest dam that was up there.

The boxes are colourbond with aluminium corners it's a Bunnings cheapie. I've lined the inside with some black mulch film. The bench was painted in primer over all the welds. I'm going to let it bleed out and probably give the timber a stain later on.

Stick with water based stains too mate [emoji106][emoji106]
I may know a bloke/rep or two with solvent based industry knowledge and sure as poison wouldn’t want that stuff anywhere near my healthy vegies [emoji107][emoji107]
Only issue with water based stains is your timber must be below circa 15% moisture content. You’ve scored Australian Standard hardwood flooring +/- 11% IIRC by standard and should absorb the stain/evaporate leaving no leaching of Gnarly Shit :-(

A space cab GQ body is going on. They are doing a legends class next year for the older type cars which they use to use back in the 90s and early 2000s so full chassis/body cars modified to the limit. Most guys run buggys these days which are full custom tube type things.

This one is originally based on an fj45 chassis. Has a 400 cube chev with auto. Twin transfers. Rear disconnect. Portal reduction hubs. Air lockers front and rear. Hydraulically adjustable coilovers. Currently has 44 boggers/super swampers on it but they are being replaced with 42" sticky treps.

Yeah the gu in the background has all the goodies. 4" lift 35s, front locker, full bar work, rear drawers, roof rack etc etc. Tough tourer.

Three yakkas and a boulder are now in easy access. Two other yakkas are rotten.

Going to ask my neighbour who has a dingo and tipper if he won't mind removing the rest of the white rocks and take it all away.

Serious question, I had planned to paint my deck joists black so they will be less visible once the boards have been laid. I got to thinking and I have 20L of pitch black used diesel engine oil, I know back in the day people would paint their fences with it, and I've given it the sniff test and there is no real smell to it now that it has been sitting uncovered for at least 12 months in the shed.
Can anybody see any down sides to painting the joists with it? I'm not really looking to add any protection to the treated pine as it will be undercover, it is purely to stop being able to see the treated pine through the gaps in the boards.

I ended up taking your good fellow advice and trying a Bunnings click and collect order and got 100m of the rubber "protect a deck"
For the price of it, it wasn't worth trying to find a reason not to use it, and it will solve the potential issue I had of seeing the joists through the boards, and may even help cushion the boards a little to reduce squeaking.

Looks great Chris. Are you in the flight path of the migratory purple lipped South American weasel bat - they like nice straight ledges to roost on, for months! They travel at night as well. Bunning sell a special net to keep them out, aisle 43 I believe.

I can’t post pics on here so you’ll have to take my word for it . What a saga . Glad we were rained / snowed off from work anyway so I was home to do the labouring , now I’m rooted & sore & keen to go back to work .Well done mate! Even though it's a pain in the ass it's always a good feeling when you solve an issue by yourself I reckon. Good stuff mate

I should say I had the builder there in charge - I was just labouring & offering suggestions but yeah it was good to be a part of it - when I discovered the water seeping out from under the back patio slab I knew we were going to have to dig it up - I was also prepared to not find the problem there & have to bust up the new bathroom floor - which would have been hard to take - thank Christ that didn’t have to happen

Finally dug the trench to lay the last section of RG11 cable that the stupid excavator operator ripped out even though I told him and marked the ground exactly where it is. First job to do when we were starting our house Reno’s and they fuck up on the first day, within the hour of starting. Anyhow finally dug the trench. On took five hours and a god full off pain killers for the rooted back.

well that sux..... but im confused a little mate??? You had an Excavator on site and they broke a cable. Why on earth did you not get him to at least dig that little trench for you as a good will while he was on site? would have taken him about 10 minutes.

I hope you took a heap of photos mate. is your house on a slab on ground? What is the dirt like to dig up your way? Clay? Sandy? Silty? Do you have House Insurance? You should make a diary note now mate. This is an Escape Of Liquid Event under your house insurance policy.

It was on the first day of the build when they did this. Where that trench is I have dug it was covered in a massive pile of sand from the day after until pretty much the end of the build.

Gasless

Sent from my CPH1979 using Tapatalk

A lot of gasless needs the polarity to be reversed. So the electrode into the negative and the earth clamp into the positive. This will help to settle it down and make it run smoother for you. But it is always best to check the manufacturers instructions as the electrode polarity will be in them.

Besides the last roll of wire I brought was a 15kg roll of gasless wire, if it's still giving me issues I'll change to gas when I need more wire..

Theres no issues with using it gasless agreed. but using with gas is easier and a much better weld.

Hopefully this is the last stage in redoing the front.

3.5 metres of soil, 6 kgs of lawn seeds and some sort of Japanese maple tree thingie in the middle.

The seeds are overkill for the area, but I want full grass, that and a small bag of grass runners should do the job.

Best thing was as soon as I finished watering I was putting things away and the sun popped out..

Not so much a project but another job on the house.
The waste pipe for the pool filter was busted at the concrete slab it was on. So the pipe was re routed, in a dodgy way by the previous owners to another point.
So I managed to reconnect the busted pipe into its original connection in the slab, turned the waste on the pump and water came gushing out from underneath the retaining where the slab is near. So I guess the pipe is busted under the concrete bench the pipe above the concrete being re routed.
So after smashing the conc out with a sledgy, cutting away at the retaining wall I found the leak.

mudski, you just are setting your expectations too high. Drop them to the level of drongo and this is ace quality. Just wrap the holes in alfoil and gladwrap, layer of silastic and bury the bastard - sorted, - I mean the water doesn't flow on the top side of the pipe does it? Plant a big arse tree over the top and the roots will eventually find the water and the problem is solved. call me anytime for further technical input.

Haha. The amount of rock, rubble and rubbish that was burried under the conc aswell, no wonder the pipe was busted. The entire retaining wall, and all the conc under the pergola and around the pool is being removed in the next month or so for new paving, so I had to get this done before they come in and do their thing.

Well done mate! Big effort there!

Thanks mate. I thought i was going to need a jack hammer but after I saw there was no reo in the conc I headed to Bunnings, got myself a 8lb sledgy an went to town on it. Lucky their concreting work was shit as it came apart quite easily.

[mudski]

So while getting back to the above project I figured out that they’ve plumbed the pool waste into the storm water. Kinda not allowed. And to think a plumber built this house.
So more digging required to get access to the shitter pipe to the left.
85035

I repaired the stormy pipe and a bit more digging I managed to get the waste pipe to twist towards the shitter pipe. It wasn’t stuck enough in the conc so I could move it freely.
This is where I stop. Adapting the 40mm pvc pressure pipe into the 100mm waste pipe, and where it lines up at the shit pipe is beyond me. We have a plumber coming over soon to change out the tank hws to instant so he can deal with it.

Last two weekends I've started a new shed build project. So far all walls are made and installed. Roof trusses are all made but I've run outta puff so I'll attend to them next available opportunity. Scored all the timber for.free through work, it's all second hand hardwood, no nails was just fixed to battens with screws so minor screw holes. Seems too good to use for a shed by if it's for free, it's for me!

The plan is to make some covered area in attempt to fit all the tools in it, then remove the current smaller shed.8506685067

How big do they grow? I don’t want anything that will grow massive and cover the window.
That whole garden area there has Camelias, which flower and produce vibrant winters, pinks and reds.
The rest of the block is natives. So I’m thinking we should not go natives.
Btw! Last time you were over Nic I forgot to talk to you about doing those floating shelves in the kitchen.

And agapanthus! I got them in my driveway and I hate them. Albeit very hardy. But nah!

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkMate I'm sorry but I'm taking the piss. Agapanthus are horrid, they are the sorry of thing you line your Colonial Cottage driveway with, nearly impossible to kill. Best advice is go to a native nursery and chat with a horticulturist there. As for the shelves, yep we definitely forgot that. We should look into it mate. I'm working in Footscray at the moment, happy to come past on the way home one day to measure and chat.

Call me!

Haha yeah after my reply I thought I have those fucking things in my driveway and I hate them. Bulb weeds! Unsure if we to go native in this area or keep with the theme of what’s there.

Westringia (variants) for the toughest/drought resistant Aussie Hedge Win Mark Old Mate [emoji106][emoji106]
Unfortunately need to hedge prune only once a year to keep them from growing woody……see through underneath if left unkempt, FWIW, Native Bees [emoji219] seem to love them too [emoji106][emoji106]

Gunna be just a tad bigger mate. Until you find it too small and want to extend...

How are mate? Long time no speak.

Yeah we've done a little bit. We added roughly another third onto the house with the extension. I still have laundry and bathroom to do upstairs, plus re floor the hallway and staircase. Then fix up the rumpus downstairs, needs a ceiling and lights. Outside is paving and pool fence as you can see, also change out the windows in the back of the house to timber and then render the back, build an outdoor kitchen etc etc.
Then!!! for the front of the house, change out all the windows aswell, remove the balcony and re do it, make the double garage with two single rollers doors, and a brick pillar in between, to one single door, put a new roller door on the new garage next to it and also render the front. There's more but thats all I can think of whats on my list right now. Lol. Im busy for the next 10 years atleast.

As for the Patrol, yeah still enjoying it mate. I'd love a new one but thats out of reach so I'm stuck with the old GUrl. She needs a new gearbox though, 3rd to 4th under power she crunches real bad, to the point its like Im not using the clutch, plus its done around 450thou so its time. Just gotta justify the cost to the minister of war and finance first. Lol.

[mudski]

Finally finished the boxes today. Took me all day but with a stuffed back I need to take my time at it. Tomorrow I’ll get some plants and mulch.

It’s not perfect, I’m no wiz when it comes to stuff like this, there is some things that are not quite right but it’s as good as I can get it. I’m reasonably happy with the outcome. Some plants will hide the imperfections I am hoping. [emoji38]

Scored a heap of wood, there's 2 more loads to get. It was all out on Friday.

You blokes that do this regularly when is it best to split it, now or later and some of them are 400mm wide, something that my 10+ year old $100 eBay cheapie chainsaw won't handle. Was going to hire a splitter what size should I be looking at.

There's a few that are thin (pictured with tape) what's the best/easiest way to split these ones..

Thanks in advance...http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2022/03/20.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2022/03/21.jpghttp://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2022/03/22.jpg

Nah, seriously no idea. Next door to my folks had it chopped down. It was a big ass tree.

Yeah split it now while it's green, don't worry about a hydraulic splitter for that load, you'll have it done in no time by hand.
Just split around the edges and work your way around each piece.

I've still got 2 more loads to get..

Even still you'll be done in under 2 hours doing it by hand, I get 5 trailer loads like this every year and if I wasn't given a hydraulic splitter for free I would still be doing it by hand.
