Today I BOUGHT

[headbut]

Went looking for some 1" hose for the small pump today. They wanted $9 per meter for it. Needed aprox 10 meters. Not gonna happen. So went to St Bunnings and lo and behold...22mm grey water hose $8 for 10 meters. I know its not 1" but with 2 rubber sleeves it does the trick. Bought 2 rolls, 20meters for $18 should do the trick for the weekend until I source the real thing....

Bought connector for this same type hose , works OK ChrisM , if you cut off the rubber ends, you can fit the bigger size connectors, with a bit of persuasion

Hey Headbutt
Make sure you road test it before you carry it to the feild. Took mine to Tuena at the last meeting so as to run the Little-Wal-E Banker i just built with the small pump. I had all sorts of problems getting water up to the pump and I ended up scrapping the idea for the time. Im thinking because the hose is ribbed it traps tooo much air in the line and my small pump cant cope with it [1.5HP]. Getting some lay-flat this week just to be prepared.
Cheers
Chris

G'day

Sorry to butt in. You'll get the best result from rigid smooth bore hose for the supply. I use 8ft of what looks like radiator hose I found up a tree in the creek after a big flood. A foot valve will keep the pump primed and prevent any air in the line

Cheers

I bought a frying pan for camping, I haven't used a frying pan for yonks. I use the bbq plate or the flat camp oven lid turned upside down. Mick

Pop-rivets & silicone.
Had to join a coupla bits of flue for the shed heater. Up-sized today

Got it cracking now & it's doing a top job - hot hot hot!

 

[WalnLiz]

Geeezzz Marty, that's one ginormous furnace you got going there, recon you could smelter 1/2 kilo Gold Bars in that thing. Cheers Wal

 

[aadelaidean]

Eek Agman does that mean that I will get wet when I go fissicking!

 

[TenOunce Tone]

Did you warn the CFA when you started that bad boy up!

 

[ChrisM]

Some 1" lay-flat 50meter roll. Some rigid hose 1"x8meters. Total spent $140.

Now to hook up the small pump and see if it works

Almost forgot. A spare set of wheelbearing kits for the caravan....just in case !!!!

 

[aushunter]

Now Agman, that is what I need for my new shed. Gotta build one of those babies.
Might make it a tad smaller but for a wood heater in a shed it should be th ducks nuts for sure.
My shed is almost finished then it is onto the house build.
Thanks for the inspiration on the wood heater.
Cheers
Brad

Today I bought a gold pan...yep brand spanking new!!! I just need to get it dirty and fill it with shiny stuff.....hummmm just tried to upload the image but failed , never mind better luck next time

 

[Nugget]

Hi aadelaidean, please see the link in my signature for optimising images. I'd say the file was too big.

 

[Heatho]

Added a nugget finder 8x6 coil to the arsenal. That should be better for getting around the difficult terrain.

 

[Land Rover]

Good stuff, by the time I get a gold detector You should have all the clues what to use !!!

I bought a yellow ticket of a traffic branch policeman, cost me $440.00. some days ya should just stay in bed.

 

[WalnLiz]

Can make all the difference on some days Heatho, Saved my bacon on many a trip mate. Good choice. Cheers Wal.

 

[Heatho]

Thanks Wal, seems to be the weapon of choice for a lot of people out there.
The 11" was a bit troublesome at Ophir, lead kept getting caught on shrubs,
should fix that issue nicely.
