Re: [BlindHandyMan] Blown Off sheeting
one might suggest a rain slicker also ray with some lightweight rubber boots. I'd wear a whistle and blow it off andon. . actually there is a near by farmer who has some sort of device which is hooked to a lp gas tank to keep the crows or black birds out of their corn crop. it sounds like a shot gun blast. she has several of these setups thru many acres and it seems to do the trick. maybe someone on the list could explain on how it works but I do know it is on aq timer. good luck. to late now but you should have poured a anti bid// ike aniti aircraft bunkers with ack ack guns or pom pom recoil guns mounted skyward. .Lee On Sun, Oct 04, 2009 at 08:29:42AM +1100, Ray Boyce wrote: > Hi All > > We here is Australia have just had a Red Dust Storm started from Broken Hill > in the Middle of Australia and blown right up the East Coast. > > Extremely high winds which blew off a sheet of fibre glass sheeting which > was on my fernery. > > This sheeting has a corrugated profile and it finished next door so to put > it back on I cut a corrugated ridge off another sheet which was too small to > do the job and made six inch pieces from this which went over the ridge of > the corrugation and made a clamp like action which I then screwed down. > > We had another dust storm two days later with high winds again and it held > successfully. > > We have another problem here and that is the birds which eat mulberries in > this area somewhere are flying over and using the new concrete for a bombing > range. > > Luckily I am not out in the yard at the time for if one of these bombs hit > you it could be devastating. > > Now by the time we inspect the craters and hose off the mess a stain exists > any suggestions as to how one should remove this. > > Out in the yard Wearing my safety helmet and listening for approaching > birds. > > Ray > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > -- Hear about... the guy who had his vasectomy done by Sears?

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Blown Off sheeting
Ray, Have you tried regular household bleach? Seems to remove most stains. Maybe the mulberry stain will give it up to the bleach. Best, Max in SC From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:blindhandy...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Ray Boyce Sent: Saturday, October 03, 2009 5:30 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Blown Off sheeting Hi All We here is Australia have just had a Red Dust Storm started from Broken Hill in the Middle of Australia and blown right up the East Coast. Extremely high winds which blew off a sheet of fibre glass sheeting which was on my fernery. This sheeting has a corrugated profile and it finished next door so to put it back on I cut a corrugated ridge off another sheet which was too small to do the job and made six inch pieces from this which went over the ridge of the corrugation and made a clamp like action which I then screwed down. We had another dust storm two days later with high winds again and it held successfully. We have another problem here and that is the birds which eat mulberries in this area somewhere are flying over and using the new concrete for a bombing range. Luckily I am not out in the yard at the time for if one of these bombs hit you it could be devastating. Now by the time we inspect the craters and hose off the mess a stain exists any suggestions as to how one should remove this. Out in the yard Wearing my safety helmet and listening for approaching birds. Ray [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
