    I've only just found the post about the Endura - will have to look into it...sounds good!!!
    More rain around at present, so paperwork and non-mowing jobs are on the revised work schedule for today...
    How I enjoy the smell/look of the place after rain ... just not the humidity that comes with it

    Was extending a chook house for a client when the thunder and lightning started, than it absolutely P'ed down , decided no point in staying, in 20 minutes her drive had washed away, and I was saturated, putting my tools away.

    Drive home and all the roads are like rivers, our dirt road is washed away in places, our drive has huge gutters in it now, My SHED, has over an inch of water covering it.

    I am told we had about 50mm in the first downpour, and another 20 or 30mm an hour later.

    We need the rain, but a little slower would have being nice.

    a beautiful 11mm of slow rain today means another couple of grand in the bank
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Wggc where abouts are you, you seem to be not far from us so when we've finished building our ark you should be close enough to get a berth.

    ah yeah, we're in Croydon. My sister is closer to you in Narre Sth..which is about the furthest Tim goes for a job (and when it's family you have to put up with the travel right...at least she refuses to pay less than the going rate).
