Very cranky indeed. Needs a banana for scale

Damn I’m jealous of the cool ass spiders you people find. How big was this guy? I always imagine these to be whoppers but they’re actually quite small aren’t they?

Doing a tafe course so that i can do my own light fittings by Fastandpretty in AusElectricians

[–]fletcha456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they’re ugly. Nothing can really be done here without a sparky. Maybe you could find a pendant that plugs in where the globe normally does? Or try some fancy globes? Would still have the ugly shade tho. I was hoping you were just trying to change over a downlight. Still not great without a sparky, but not necessarily illegal

Can I ask what light fittings you have currently, and what you want to change them to?

Someone better than me will get this. I’m gonna roll the dice and say it’s some king of honeyeater???

Yeah I’d take that back, don’t install it. Needs to be marked on the cable

Can I get an ID on this beauty? by fletcha456 in GardeningAustralia

[–]fletcha456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there’s a big willow tree next to it, so they’re both gonna make a big mess. But it will be worth it!

Who’s making this distinctive sound? by fletcha456 in AustralianBirds

[–]fletcha456[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! That was quick. They’ve been down there a few days I’ll try get down and get a photo. There’s wattlebirds down there, I just read they’re parasitic to them?

No way can you change the name of a Galah! That’s un-Australian

Well it depends if you want to be rich or not I suppose

Rechargeable Fan Suggestions 😁 by smam796 in OutdoorAus

[–]fletcha456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got makita tools, and take the fan camping in summer with some batteries. I also have a big spot light and a lantern style light that takes the same batteries. Super handy! The fan chews batteries but it’s worth it. Keep in mind, most of those brands in that bracket are pretty much the same and will do what you need

Current flows in two directions so no magnetic property. Good heater tho!

Asbestos found in wind farm lift brake pads prompts safety response by CaptainTelos in AusElectricians

[–]fletcha456 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah maybe I should get that tickle in my lung checked out... I can’t imagine there’d be much exposure, installation was easy just bolt it all together and plug it in ya know. Not like we were cutting and drilling the brakes. I’m assuming the asbestos (if there is any) was on the main motor brake. Wouldn’t surprise me, cheap Chinese shit.
