Hurmeez Posted August 21, 2020 Author Share Posted August 21, 2020 I can try but I wouldn't hold my breath. It's actually my mates dad that's doing the work and I don't know how tech savvy he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Nice work on that outer guard - it's hard to do that sort of welding without making a mess of the panel. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurmeez Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 Thanks man. I think I'm slowly getting better at it with each panel that goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurmeez Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Thanks mate. It could have been a lot worse. We were only renting so we had the relative luxury of being able to just bug out and not have to worry about it long term too much. Our landlords were really good about it too and there was no stress between us as we all delt with the clean up afterwards. We are also very lucky to have generous family support so we were safe and dry as soon as we got out the night of. There were people who lost a hell of a lot more than we did so we can't complain at all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CUL8R Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Lucky you got through that, what a shit situation and that amount of water is pretty impressive/scary +1 good to see you back on here/updates, life definitely gets in the way sometimes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurmeez Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 Yep pretty wild. It went from me taking the piss out of my mates with puddle pictures to us leaving with babber on our backs in waist deep water in the space of an hour and a half. I think once the drain on the road blocked up it was all over. The house was below road level and we ended up with a torrent spilling over the footpath and down the driveway. I've struggled with motivation and time after the wee one turned up tbh. Trying to light a fire under my own ass with a wedding date in just over a years time, so we'll see. It is fun to be posting again though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXFORD Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Holy shit that sucks heavy. Crazy how quick things can turn pear shaped. On another note, an easy way to fill bigger spot weld holes, even with a half drilled lower flange is to chuck a heat sink under it. Copper or Ali block will stock you blowing through but can still get a nice plug weld. Sometimes saves having to replace flanges. Nice work though!

Hurmeez Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 Good shout. I am intending to back up the flange where I can regardless, just very paranoid about blowing through. My mig is a very cheap Bunnings jobbie and I'm pretty shit at MIG regardless all things considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
