Maybe a robot mower saves time and effort

Don't be crazy Dot. They don't have handles. One can only imagine what could happen next.

BTW.... the only thing blokes should remove fluff from is their belly button. I still don't understand how George confused his with an operating outside air conditioner unit.

Good morning.
Well spotted Dave it came with the door assembly I bought for the Isuzu it wasn't required but was free.
Some good news...
We are going to Bundy this morning Carol has a pre admission for the replacement of her knee.

Back to the garden...the first one is 2 metres x 1 mt, and is now half full
I layed cardboard then old garden soil then the wood chip and ash from our Fire place then more soil.
It's now half full.
Next will be the compost I have made mixed with chook and sheep poo and other stuff .

The second of the raised bed is 1.1 x 1.1 mts. I have enough iron to make another two or three depending on how I do the beds.

The lawn didn't get a look in
Keep safe.
Bernie.
Opps I forgot to mention that I also have a layer of hay and more soil.

Good morning everyone. It has turned out to be a lovely sunny morning here at Mulwala.
Had a bit of PhP drama this morning, but ok now I hope.
I couldn't get the chainsaw sorted yesty, so I've ordered a new carby off ebay.
T1, does your door have a magnet top and bottom to hold the doors together? If not, then that's your problem.
If yes, then it's just a matter of learning you to do it the easy way.
Might head off for a walk soon, nothing much else to get done until beer o'clock.
Happy hump day everybody.

Gas leak to attend to this morning, think it's the metal pipes that connect the gas bottles to the regulator ...... guessing that is why it only had 1 gas bottle in there, i was clever and added the second one Dumb having metal pipes anyway, hoping Bunnings BBG section will have rubber replacement ones, if not, on the hunt through the likely places ......

Maybe on the road by lunch time, who knows

Stay with the copper Terry! Do NOT use the stainless braided ones. You may be lucky enough to get 8 months out of them. I lost a full 45lt bottle of gas using them.
As long as your cylinder is securely held down so it can't move/rotate copper is the go!

I was thinking of proper rubber gas hose, like they use a BBQs etc, that stainless braided hose is for looks, useless as far as practicality goes, it's not even reinforced hose inside the stainless braid, that was the issue with the exhaust brake on the previous motorhome, the hose inside melted closed.

Terry. Those rubber hoses used on BBQ's are on the low pressure side. You will need a braided hose with the proper ratings for the high pressure side.

Yeah, ended up getting a hose with a pressure regulator already fitted, then off to the hydraulics place to get a brass fitting to adapt the tapered seat gas fitting one end and tapered thread the other end to go into the existing regulator ...... seems to work ok, just need to swap the fitting from one bottle to the other rather than flicking a change over switch ..... I know it's a serious step backwards, but I'll just have to suffer the added hardship until I come up with a better solution The bloody thing wasted a bottle of gas in just a few days, at least it was the Bunnings swap and go bottle, it wasn't as expensive as the Shell servo swap and go one

Ours also has the one hose to the regulator, no two way tap.
It's not that much of a PIA really. We seem to be plugged into power a lot, can't really remember the last time I had to change bottles. From memory the old 3 way lasted at least a week or more when off grid. Our 3 way seems to behave perfectly on 240v once we have been parked up for a day or so. When we travel it is on 240 and the inverter is doing its thing. We still don't have enough solar, but ours came with an auxiliary 12v 80A Bosch alternator fitted, so it does the battery charging as we travel.

Good morning to you all, going to be a bit cooler tomorrow.
