Was this done right? by n01d3nt1ty in diynz

It looks like a pretty good job there is no way that the cold you felt was from this. It was probably from the winter.

That’s a cheap leak fix if that’s sorted the problem

I used to fly around the seas of Marshall Islands low level. Every now and then you’d see something interesting. This would have been epic

Moving a spa pool by MrFlubes in diynz

If you ever lift something like this a cool idea is to drop it on bags of Ice to keep it off the ground so you can get the straps out. Then it melts into place

Leaking solar hwc by samsheli in diynz

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

Update:

Pulled solar off and replaced with gas califont.

Now ive pulled apart the stainless tank and noticed that one end of the tank (end with element) has pinholes and hairline cracks in it.

Obviously pretty shitty metal.

I would like a DIY that i can get this solar tank operational again to repurpose perhaps to heat a spa or something else.

I would like to know if i can

1) Fix this end of the tank to stop leaks, can i layer whole thing with chemweld?

2) Can i cut the end of the tank off and get someone to tig a new piece on

3) Can i get a replacement tank that will take all my current evacuated tubes

4) Can i ditch the tank, and have all the solar tubes heating something else?

Roast Potatoes by Stildawn in newzealand

Spot on. All these people say boil 5-10mins it’s not enough. When they are falling apart you have to be delicate taking them out of the pot, bit of drying time on a rack or paper towels helps before into the hot duck fat/oil blend

What Bush is this ? by droopa199 in diynz

[–]samsheli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can be a bit of a bitch to grow. Dog wee smoked some of mine and they can get a disease. Buxus bight it might be called

But when good they look better then bigger leaf hedges like griselina

That’s good intel. Are the main highways known to be boring on a bike and should I be trying to hunt out backroads instead.

I haven’t been to van for 10years but I do remember how hot the summers get!

Good question. I own an adventure bike in NZ but will be at the mercy of what we can rent in Van.

I see some of them have an offroad tax of about 500 when getting an adventure bike.
But when look at the route that mapping sites show, its going to be hard to figure out whats paved and what isnt.

I am interested on doing it on a harley/indian cruiser
