$10 for mowing the lawns,$5 for lesser work.That way it is up to kid how much he wants.That is, if he wants $20 he has to work for it.

Supervising can be thankless but it can be rewarding too when change is implemented successfully.Involve your staff in the changes you need to make to the point of letting them do it.But remember...

Thanks for that Poppa.I've printed you reply and I will pass it on.
Cheers,Steve.

Thanks for your replies.From what I have heard 50% would be a miracle.Poor bugger has about $10K worth of tools in his shed.This may be wrong but I think he should start hiding some of his gear.His...

I don't know whether I should be posting this or not but I'm sure none of his circle of friends knows of this forum in fact I'm about the only one who knows what a hammer is.And please believe me...

Grundfos are pretty good in admitting a fault.That's why I stuck so many of them down bores I drilled.You'll be right with them.

Sorry to correct you Deadly but a pump shroud is made of PVC and is used to make the pump suck water passed the motor therebye keeping it cool.
To stop hammer install the checkvalve as near as...

Sorry forgot about the hammer.You're right.When the pump stops,with your hand on the discharge,you shouln't feel to much at all.I've seen the borecap lift in exteme cases.A checkvalve fitted at the...

Hi Bill.Corrosion happens when you have a nice medium containing dissolved salts which aid the transfer of electrons between two dissimilar metals.All bore water has dissolved salts.Best water I've...

All sounds pretty good.The three main reasons a subby shaft/coupling can fail are corrosion,cycling and a faulty checkvalve.If the pump shaft is only 304ss then it will be attacked by the motor which...

As a former driller/pump guy I reckon I can help you out.
a) Once the water leaves the bore,where does it go,how far and under what pressure?
b)Do you have a water hammer problem?
c)Is it a...

That is nice looking wood.Great pics.

Anybody know where i can get my hands on a disused waterwell drilling rig?Preferably a cable-tool rig.I'm looking to get back into it.Thanks.

Thanks for the tips guys.I didn't think I did too much wrong looking at the good slabs.

A while back I posted a dilemma I had with redgum slabs splitting and thanks for the advice I received.Well I got to check out the offending articles yesterday and they are not only splitting but...

No the guide rails are very rigid.I suspected the router frame but the steps would go down not up.

Hope I don't hijack this thread but I made a slab finisher using a router and it is a dismal failure.I mounted the router on a frame which ran on rails.After a pass I move the router over a bit and...

Yeah,I could but I'd be crying while I did it.Around here it happens far to often.farmers just see a pain in the ???? pile of wood,too big for firewood.Burn it.

I shouldn't be saying this but there is hundreds of miles of the stuff around SA.Just don't start a fire getting it and...could I have the sleepers under them,lol.

It is pretty real in the SE of South Aust.too.I'm lucky I work in the oil and gas industry.It is relatively stable but having said that I know of some service companies that are laying off staff.Nine...

Steel blues.A great boot.I wear Redwings myself.Very comfortable but short lasting.At $280 a pair,they are purely status symbol.

The tree had been dead for years.But now some of my slabs are splitting.Any tips because I know redgum can be flooky.
Cheers,Steve.

The tank sounds pretty bad to me so forget about screwing a patch.You'll have to drain the water out below the hole.Wet the iron around the hole and place a piece of canvas over it.Sift some cement...

I do but there is no getting around the laws nowdays.

30mm should do it Carl especially if you put a bit of meat on them.

I'm trying to think why that won't work but nothings coming to me.Those "forks" had want to be strong.

Ummm..I might be throwing petrol on the fire but I make swords also as messing around with chainsaws and wood.My swords are medieval in type not katanas(sumurais).They are made of hardened spring...
