Too late by half an hour, Ian. That has been duly requested by my BIL, up in the 'hampton. 'Lations and all that stuff, you know!

See, everything is always simple for me .... [bawl] :soapbox: [bighmmm]
So, here's what I've been doing recently to keep busy during the lockdown:
1. Dig a big hole.
2. Hire a crane to lift an old water tank over the house to be relocated behind the shed.
3. Get crane to lift new larger water tank over the house (I have videos, but they are too large for the forum).
4. Install new water tank and have plumber connect both new and old tanks.
5. Shovel dirt back to fill in around new water tank.
6. Sit on verandah and contemplate a job well done, while waiting for rain to fill our new combined total of four tanks totalling 47,000 litres.

That is much more interesting than me fixing my Alarm System. [biggrin]
On Saturday,i had a tedious day in front of the fire,in the lounge,reloading 100 rounds of .243,with the help of one of my brothers.
It was the warmest room in the house,moved the dining table into the lounge,to accomodate all the gear.
Ran them all through the old worn out Sako,and my relatively newish Howa,all good,no issues with any of them.

I did some plumbing today, we have CB Ideal taps in our bathroom (made in Adelaide) and the ones we have use a 22mm square nut on the spindle. I have been looking unsuccessfully for about 12 months for a tube spanner to fit them as the spindles are recessed behind the tiles and I can't get a spanner on the nut.
I ended up making a socket with a couple of bits of angle and the TIG this afternoon and got the buggers changed. I can't complain though, the hydro seal washers I replaced are the originals and have been there for 15 years.
