Took me over a hour to remove that star pickett, no room for the crowbar so had to use that garden trowel digging on only one side – phew.
Lucky that I have this one and only 4.3M 90mm PVC pipe leftover from a previous job.

Workshop drainage – Part 1
With the weather becoming more unpredictable and extreme these days I need to provide some drainage across the front of my workshop. I call it Al’s Workshop but it’s simply a Colorbond steel garage with four skylights, two back windows, side entry door and front roller door.
I need to install a drain across the front and down the right side…. as far as I can.
More to come on this.
Chook shed heater
With the really cold weather Speckles is spending nights in the entry foyer.
She is waiting for me when I wake up and follows me like a dog when I go out to unlock the front gates then down to open the workshop and also to let her into the chook run where she spends some time in the run and chook shed – until I go later and let her out.
Possum Dray camera – Part 1
Doing some research to see if we can mount a camera to view the inside of the dray.
Possum Dray forgot the back boor!
Forgot to include a emergency exit – back door!
If a cat, fox, snake or whatever knocks on the front door there’s no way for them to escape!
Possum Dray – Part 4
From the last session we are ready to cover the top basket with shade mesh. My main reason for doing this is to prevert or at least curtail attempts by birds to nick the coco to add their own nesting material collection.
Working my way around to evenly fold and hold with clips.
Possum Dray – Part 3
Did not get much done in Part 2 so here my cold hands spent more time out of the pockets – doing stuff.
From part 2 we can now remove that centre wire.
Possum Dray – Part 2
As posted bought two of these wire baskets with coco lining from ALDI.
Possum Dray – Part 1
While plodding through ALDI Scoresby this afternoon came across these hanging baskets @ five bucks each – grabbed two.
Chook shed heater auto temp controller
Chook shed heater with the new auto temperature controller-
This is working well, it’s going to be cold overnight like 3°. Here are the inside/outside temps as @ 11.45pm. The controller is set for 11°. The 2nd wireless remote sensor is sitting on a bail of hay outside the chook shed – in the run.
