What does your day look like?

Everytime I see one of those hay trucks roll through town I imagine someone somewhere setting tens of thousands of dollars in $50 notes on fire...

This winter is going to be brutal on this side of the Sandstone Curtain.

It's very dry on the coastal side too. Water restrictions should be permanent. Population growth in big cities will drain water supply, we need to recycle and desal, and folks that have never been through water restrictions likely have 10 minute showers. Hopefully the next year brings the steady rains.

Day is looking good, especially when you can't see the construction site below! Before anyone asks, that's a research hexacopter on the right.

Whats a hexacopter?

A drone with six rotors.

Drones, the ebikes of the sky.

Hey, this one is at least useful. We have a bunch of autonomous vehicles lying around the place for various kinds of testing, it's a nerd paradise.

For “science” purposes I’m sure Binpervertaural.

Sadly, one rain event doesn't end a drought (even 120mls).
It was VERY heavy....some filled the dams, which was great...& the rest headed for S.A.
The grass won't grow now until Sept/Oct & then only if there's good rain beforehand.
In the meantime the hay keeps roll'n through at up to $35,000 per load.
Maybe a bit to do with why there's not too many new Landcruises gett'n about ?

Still...there's no doubt and we can carry on as per our usual ways.

In the 'good times' when I see a truck load of cattle worth a fortune...I wannabe a farmer.
In the 'bad times' when I see a truck load of hay worth a fortune....it's naah, stuff that !!

My 1:1 Meccano set arrived:

All cut to length?

 

[pink poodle]

Morning tea went...Coffee, cake, cookiecakesocks. Brother's kids got pretty excited about shoving food in my mouth and their socks.

Then a few laps of the dirt jumps.

Joists are (the 15 up top), the rest are oversized 'cause too hard to measure accurately.

how are you going to cut them?

 

[hifiandmtb]

Just a handheld grinder.

Owning to where I live, I'm going to go mental with this stuff:

Apply corrosion protection paint to the face of any channel member connected, abutting or interlocking (nesting) to any other member or wall or surface. Also coat cut ends of all members and the tops of joists where decking or sheeting is to be fixed.

Any cuts & horizontal surfaces won't know what hit them...

Friction drop saw 101, you'll end up with nice square cuts.

w00t!

What will you use for handrails for the whole deck and where is the slide to the water going?
