My father lives on a bit of a farm and mentioned this year about finding dead birds in the gutters.
Seems that a little diligence in gutter maintenance and a good mesh filter on the inlet is needed
Don't see any problem with putting a goldfish or two in there to act as a hoover

I tried putting fish in a water tank, didn't last , not enough oxygen. You need an air pump.
I am learning, slowley.

Just for the current record, I’m not planning on “deliberately” putting any living things in the Tanks.
Some off you need to get out a little more [emoji43][emoji94][emoji43][emoji94][emoji43][emoji94],

Dead things would be worse still. Tank water is fine as it is, but it is probably adviseable to filter your drinking water. If you are using a pressure pump many filtering options will be available, but with low pressure gravity fed applications many fliters will not work.

Royal Doulton Ceramic filters do a remarkable job. Tap water to pure, tasteless, smooth and soft H20. We just use one in a pottery water urn.

We use the same ceramin filters except the outer casing of ourvessel was cracked (given to us for nothing). Our inner section just sits on top of a water jug: It does the same job but doesn't look as flash. The filtered water is decanted into another contaner for drinking at a later date. Also not very flash but it works.

My great, great grandmother bought a Doulton gravity feed water filter for her youngest sister's wedding in 1911. Life went on, as it does, then in the 1990's my youngest brother married a distant cousin who had her great, great grandmother's wedding present Doulton water filter. One and the same water filter and their children don't have crossed eyes...
To this day, that water filter is still used by my brother and his family for drinking.
I have a more modern Doulton ceramic water filter housing in our camper, it is powered by an under the sink 12V water pump. Essentially it is the same as the gravity fed unit, just that the flow rate is probably around 1 litre every two minutes.
Both produce fantastic tasting water and just keep on working.
Mick.

Suburban Kids,buy Large paddock with Know idea.
So one Dude here says I need to go back too England an get a Royal Doulton water filter thingy, One other bloke says any busted up old one will do the trick.
Then some Old block says his family has used the same one since there Cousins got married an walked out of a cave.

5 days time, we are officially homeless for ten days,
Before a ten day wait, when we settle at Wedderburn on the 30th October.
So ,we have booked into a Caravan park in Bendigo, where we can be officially called “White trash trailer park pigs”, tho Sally is not taking well to that discribution[emoji52].
Part off the settlement at our Melbourne property was the removal of a large Camphor Laurel, that was taken down a few weeks back after Council approval.
As the new owners want to put up a Mc Crap fall down in Ten years McMansion thingy [emoji2961][emoji2961][emoji2961][emoji2961].
So ,today a few pieces were taken to forum member Paige, as we don’t have much room left in out storage facility.(Thank you)
Cheers Matt.

One must embrace being a white trash scum.
I don't think 10 days living the lifestyle is anything more than peasant-tourism
If you went and bought a 1990 commodore, without wheels, doors or glass, parked it on blocks next to your jet ski, both of which you've been planning "to do up" for years... then you might be close
They'll sniff you out as a chardonnay sipper in no time flat.

No need to go that far; just slip into a bluey. The trickiest thing will be fast-tracking the mullet although if you perpetually wear a Magpies ball cap that can draw attention away from the lack of hair.
Other little details you need to add to avoid detection:
Nicotine stained fingers (yellow food colouring can help here)
Distrust of consonants; try to communicate using only vowels where possible although all words beginning with the letter “C” are exempt.
Reliance on only using verbs, nouns and adjectives that begin with the letter “C”
Too many teeth (ie… having some teeth); reduce smiling as much as possible
Perpetual rage at the injustice of your situation; you can help mask the absence of the absence of tooths if you maintain an outer visage of a bulldog licking urine off of a thistle.
Probably best if Sally stays inside the caravan; her presence can be noted by the neighbours quite simply by the random throwing of obscenities and empty VB bottles out the door in equal quantities. Having seen the odd photo of her we all know you’re punching well above your weight; in Boganville that mere yawning chasm will rapidly gain Grand Canyon proportions…Nothing succeeds like a budgie without a beak.
