Will get the water tested but happy just to have water for the animals, garden, spa pool and possibly the toilets if i can be arsed. How did this end up? How deep? Water flow etc?

Water flow etc? ended up getting 45,000L roughly a day out of it, haven't got it tested yet but haven't got sick or the shits. the water goes through a decent filter setup down to 1 micron, put a 750w sump pump with float switch down the well to pump to a 35,000L storage tank. so happy been able to sleep better not having to worry about running out of water, kinda wished i had documented it better as more people could build these as its not difficult. if i build a pool i will probably dig it by hand too. 14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I would be keen to learn how to find water with divining rods Seems like handy but logical witchcraft to have in the skillset 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kimjon Posted January 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2020 I've had this for over 30 years. Its had 2 other handles in that timeframe and on Wednesday the last handle broke again after 20 plus years...so onto No3... Took the time to reshape it a bit more this time. When I say "took the time" I'm talking 5 minutes to glue it together and then leave it overnight...and about 10 minutes tops to shape it with a flap disc. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Yowzer Posted February 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2020 I like that you have a 30yr old machete that is used often enough to wear through three handles, and a tube full of arrows by your back door 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bluebear01 Posted February 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2020 I needed to install the oven I fixed up from a few pages back. Kitchen Tax is real though, people talking about spending all sorts of silly figures on kitchen reno's. I decided to throw it in myself, bar the gas plumbing. I quite like the old cabinetry so I just built up a new cabinet to match the old, save replacing the lot. I also uprated the range plug & switch & shifted the outlets to suit the new benches. A bit of tiling and edging to finish off, but now we can get stuck in to cooking up a few feasts! 27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kimjon Posted February 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2020 I'm a total storage slut! Love to have a place for everything...and everything in its place. So: Steel/storage racks. I can fit anything from 0.6m to 3.6m lengths of steel/timber. The racks start at 1225mm so I can fit a sheet of plywood or whatever under it leaning against the wall. I feel another shed tidy up coming... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kimjon Posted February 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2020 Sorted! I put little 5/16 cap head screws at the end of each shelf, to stop any round materials from rolling off, though I doubt its really needed (better safe than sorry I guess). 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kimjon Posted February 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2020 Okay, it's no secret I'm into some pretty niche things. Gopeds, drift trikes, lowrider bikes, skateboarding, gokarts, tallbikes, etc...etc... none of them are popular in NZ by any stretch of the imagination. Now this is about as niche as it gets. 39cc of polini awesomeness! It puts out 6.5hp and sounds like an angry beehive!!! Pops wheelies when the powerband kicks in...its mental. I picked it up a few years ago, with the goal of cutting it up and putting the motor on a goped. As it turns out, its basically the grandfather to the pocket bike craze and is highly collectible in Europe, some selling for over €2500. So needless to say, I won't be cutting it up anytime soon. The clutch fucked out, so I brought this "high performance" clutch. Well if the goal is to add excess weight to the rotating assembly, shift the engagement rpm down low where it's not making power and decrease speed, fun, your will to live as much as possible...then yes, this clutch excels in all those areas. I had other goals, like simply returning it to being awesome like it once was. So, I brought a Chinese clutch for a 49cc kids motorbike, that didn't fit either, then modified it to fit the polini by adapting the new clutch arms to fit the polini hub center. I cut the arms down in the lathe, to fit the polini bolts. Drilling to lighten the arms, this raises engagement rpm. Shortening the springs to put more tension on the arms, this further raises the rpm. Drilling the arm spring pockets to remove the shit casting marks to allow smoother operation, and allow the much fatter polini springs to fit. Back in and running like a dream! I know its ridiculous...I know. However its definitely one of those things that fits the saying "don't knock it until you try it". Not in the way someone may say having sex with men feels awesome "don't knock it until you try it"... no, nothing like that. This is more in the have you ever driven a rotary category... it's only purpose is to make you smile. 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
