Here we go - looks like I was trying to exceed the 95kB file size limit for the server. [ATTACH]
Well, the 9 main tanks are in place and the solar panel is keeping the ute battery nicely topped off while providing plenty of energy for the...
It's getting closer to sorted out now with 8 tanks in place with one more to go in and one spare. Both sides of the shed are plumbed in although I...
Apologies for misinterpreting and misrepresenting your views - it was never my intention and is one of the limitations of the spoken word :(...
While increasing our understanding of how things work is always a good thing, we should be careful not to undervalue the emotional and...
I think the better way to look at it is to start with working out what we consider to be a reasonable, sustainable total human footprint on the...
Sure, we could do that. Then what? Keep accepting all the displaced people from all the countries around the world with overpopulation issues...
Thanks for checking back in. The air problem doesn't seem to have persisted with normal rainfall rates (instead of the hose) and the tanks ganged...
Personally I think there is a balance of numbers that needs to be struck. The blunt reality is that there are far too many people around the world...
An update: I bought 4 more tanks (metal-based) and pumped all the water out of the wood-based tanks. The metal ones stack very nicely although...
Thanks for that. Unfortunately there are no such shops in my local area :( and it would take considerable time and fuel to get to such places. I...
It would be great fun to make but the pile of tanks I will end up with is ~3.5m high so that would take a lot of time and materials (which I don't...
I thought about letting something climb over the framework but the trouble with anything climbing or woven is that the light exclusion is partial...
Keeping out the light OK, the tanks are somewhat in place (still need to buy and install a few more) and there is water in there thanks to some...
A nice dump of rain has given me what looks like about 1200-1300L of water to work with. That's only off 1/2 the shed roof because I haven't had a...
Today I connected the existing pipe to the bottom tank as the top tank came up to a bit above the gutter level. IBC tanks have a central lid...
Some of you would have seen my thread asking for advice on this topic but now that it's actually starting to take shape, I thought I'd document...
If you really want to do 3D work on a low budget then blender might work for you. It's primarily animation software so it lacks some scaling...
The tanks out the back of the shed showing: the total height just exceeding the gutter height (so I have to dump into the bottom layey, not the...
Thanks - I didn't think I'd overstepped any lines :-)
