Broke the wooden handle in a silage grape today. Their tricky to get the old butt out from the steel. Any easy ways lads??

Grind off the revits, tap them to one side a little and Grind more so the smaller one won't catch. Drive as big a screw as possible into the stub, put screw head in a vice and tap off the grape head with a hammer.

Thats the best one I've heard yet multi. If a big screw does the job,i,l'll have a smile on me from ear to ear

A grape is the three prong fork.

A dung fork is 4 prong.

Pitch fork, hay fork or just the fork is two prong.

Would anyone have a name for the two threaded inserts on the top of the bottle?

dzer2 · 15-12-2020 09:34PM

They look like 1/2 inch BSP barbed fittings

Last job of the year finished today. 11,000 gallon water tank part funded through the burren life programme and filling off the roof of the shed.

That a great job, will you use the water for troughs?

ganmo · 18-12-2020 06:24PM

Will it be left open?

Limestone Cowboy · 18-12-2020 09:07PM

It's not mine but ya it's for watering cattle. Water is scarce enough in a lot of parts of the burren. I'd doubt it will be covered no.

Bonzo Delaney · 18-12-2020 09:12PM

What's the seal detail at the bottom.
Some weight of water to keep in place

There'll be no fear of it, we have a few of them done now. We put a strip of waterbar all around, bottom half set in the floor and top half in the centre of the wall. I know some lads would just put a key in when pouring the floor but I'd find it hard to have faith in it. 300mm walls and floor, double row of 12mm Rebar at 400mm spacings. Have seen a good few done with 250mm walls and they are fine but we only have 300mm corners so it's easier for us to do them that width.

Would there be any issue with water stagnation in these tanks?

Not much really, we have a really old one at home and never had any bother with the water going stagnant in it.

Is there anything you would need to check for before collecting animal drinking water from a roof? I mean as in coatings or paint that might be on a shed that could be bad for animals?

funkey_monkey · 19-12-2020 02:25PM

What sort of filtration system is going on it to ensure the pipework don't get blocked?

Bird droppings, what they drop out of their beaks probably worst.
House's around here had rain water harvesting grant aided in the 50's, small tank full of 12mm chips filtered and bigger covered tank stored.
Important to cover.

Litchens and mosses growing on the roof, especially tegral Big6 sheeting.
Get a drought period and some of them die and lose their grip, then when it rains again they roll off and into the tank.
Drum out of a washing machine makes a fairly good filter for bigger stuff.

300mm is 1ft?? seems massively overengineered imo. hardly need for two rows of steel as no pressure from outside inwards. Prob dept spec not having a go at you.
