Thread: blew the lid off the barn

dam when i read the title i thought you were trying an experiment and it all went wrong! could of made an interesting story! hope that that stables are still fixable and that none of the animal got injured during the storm

See what happens when ya feed 'em too much oats? All that gas and it only needs one little spark...

We had the same here in Toowoomba Mic - All lightning, wind and only a little bit of rain

Sorry to read about the damage.

cheers

Well we got the rain on the Gold Coast last night. My problem was that by complying with Level 5 water restrictions I had installed a downpipe rainwater diverter to give an extra filling hose for the pool. Neat idea that had been working ok for a few months.

Problem is that the diverter last night filled up with hail (which also shredded the veggie garden) and the water backed up past the point where the air conditioner drain hose had been poked into the down pipe. The head of water backed up to the roof and came out the first available opening as well as overflowing the gutters, resulting in a shower over the bed through the airconditioner unit. Soggy bed, bedhead, carpet .......

I managed to vacuum up a fair bit of water out of the carpet and mattress with the shopvac and now have the airconditioner running on heat/dry to get the rest of the moisture out of place.


AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH
