Recent events

I haven't been producing any contributions here as I have been busily packing and arranging things for the big move.
The last word from up north on the farm was that they were awaiting the arrival of the pressure pump we purchased to supply better pressure to the house.
The pump had arrived and Ben returned to Sydney that day
The crane hadn't arrived either of the Mondays it was booked to remove the 20000litre cement water tank out of it's location to make way for the new 30000 & 24500 litre rain water tanks as well as the 5000 lire rain water tank on the header stand up the rise.
It wasn't until yesterday we received a call from the farm informing us that the crane had arrived & lifted the 5000 litre tank up on the 6 metre steel tank stand for supply greater pressure to the house.

Apparently the pressure is a lot better but still not great.
We suspect that may be as a result in the badly installed copper piping that may need replacing when we get back to the farm this week coming
But we will try the new pump first and if that doesn't improve the flow we'll install the new copper pipes.

I am going up for a week to take up the already cut out timber chook pen.
Was cheaper to buy it from Sydney and cut it and take up than to buy up there.
It may not get built right away as the painting on & in the house as is more important right now
