Resurrection of a CFEI 100 KVA Induction Furnace
Muzzerboy:
Wow. I guess that is The Goose's Revenge. That'll teach you to eat them and fill in their pond!
awemawson:
And we didn't even eat the geese - they went to a friend.
26 mm fell last night according to a friends rain gauge - I'm hoping for at least one dry day for this lot to run off - it usually clears pretty quickly.
Today's job - heavy base for the rain gauge !
awemawson:
Well the day is improving :thumbup:
Water levels haven't noticeably decreased BUT the Klargester has come out of the alarm state and the pump has managed to reduce the level in it's internal chambers back to working levels despite this being below the stream level still! So I can let the wife use the loo and washing machine now :clap:
A quick and ready weight was needed to stop the rain gauge collector blowing away again - the scrap box yielded a nice bit of three by one inch steel that in a former life had been the articulation link on my Thwaites 2 ton dumper - rescued when I replaced it's bearings. A quick slice on the cold saw, a tickling with a 36 grit sanding disk, four holes drilled and tapped M 4, followed by some zinc rich paint and hopefully it's now heavy enough to take a bit of wind!
AND the weather forecast is no rain for a couple of days - good, I reckon we've already had January's rain fall last night!
Pete.:
Man that's flooded. The ground must already have been very waterlogged.
You didn't have to go and rescue any livestock this time Andrew?
awemawson:
Fortunately not Pete, all the sheep managed to get to higher ground all be it waterlogged islands ! As you know soaked sheep are unbelievably heavy to move !
I gave the go ahead today for phase two of the grip - installing perforated pipe and taking it to the field drain system that leads to the stream. About four foot or so of head from the far end of the run down to the existing field drain so should flow OK
