The 'Today's Job' thread

Gave the lad a little job today. We are rebuilding the trial pressure washer bowser. IBC is now black to stop green stuff growing. Labels all removed. New Reel on its way as I broke the other one
Full set of home made pipe baffles need to sorted before I remount the washer. You can purchase IBC baffle balls but CHRIST they are expensive.

Cut up ribbed pipe into 4or 6 in lengths similar to what they do in marsh tanks?

why not buy a load of kiddy's ball pit balls and puncture them all .. they're peanuts to buy
where'd you get the little black half IBC from

Won’t work unless you poke a lot of holes in them as you need the water to move through them.
It’s a normal clear IBC and a tin of black paint out of my box of bits in the shed .

That’s the plan sort of, but 500mm lengths stacked vertically

Moat and stream along with a castle yesterday. Had to build a bridge too. Luckily some local stone sorted it.

tha's nothing ...
someone here recently wanted to take a lil half tonne mini in their boot to the beach recently ... can't recall who it was though ... reckoned it'd be worth a few dad points

It was a komatsu pc01. They aren't even half tonne. And would fit in the car boot quite easily.
On a more serious note. You basically have to have a set of roughneck mini shovels to take to the beach. Wins at digging in the sand every time and way better than the standard kids beach shovels
