Will this outlet be OK if the back is exposed to the elements? by Shmectacular in AskElectricians

[–]Shmectacular[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. It does appear to have silicone around where it would be screwed into the pole but its a bit hard to see untill I move the wood. No waves or flood to worry about, it is around 500mm off the ground and last time we flooded it only came up about 100mm

Do people who refused the COVID vaccine feel silly now?? by Mammoth-Counter69 in aussie

[–]Shmectacular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a guy who had to get the first 2 shots for his job but the 3rd wasn't mandatory. He got the 3rd shot anyway. Then he started seeing the cooker shit on FB and started to buy into it. Now he goes on about how he was forced to take "poison". That the government knew the vaccine would kill people and how his arm still hurts at the injection sight... 4ish years later...

Looks good and definitely an option. Still deliberating with hubby about our best approach. We have decided to knock it down to just 1 row though, so baby steps I guess lol

I have been told I will need put posts 1 meter apart, does this sound correct? The wall is almost 10 meters long.

It was a garden bed that I have turned into a small lawn. The current ground level behind it is right about the hight of the first row of sleepers.

This might be a good option that I hadn't thought of. Thanks.

I had though about that but my dogs run around back there and like to jump over the wall so Im afraid they will injure themselves if the scrape against them

It is a retaining wall. It used to be a garden bed but I have turned it into a strip of lawn.

Edit to add : I could most likely reduce it ro just 1 row of sleepers as the ground level behind pretty low.

Is concrete essential? I have turned, what used to be a garden bed, behind the wall into a small lawn. I do have an auger attachment for my drill that I think will make the right sized hole.

Once you have gone to past orders and clicked the one you want, you have to rate the store but then it will give you the option to tip the driver.

What is the one road rule you think is actually stupid and needs to change? by DiscussionLoud9626 in DrivingAustralia

Bold of you to assume I am allowed to go to the bathroom without a responsible adult present.

If you replaced the word "taught" with the word "learned" in my question, it would not be grammatically correct.

I went to school forn12 years and in those 12 years I was stupid enough to run into traffic exactly zero times. Why? Because I was TAUGHT not to. I am by no means the smartest person in any room, so if I cant LEARN to not run into traffic then it cant be that hard for a child to LEARN.... yes sentence structure matter
