I was given an ExplorOz
fly net hat, I thought I would never need itbut the last few days down here near
Orange on the Daughters
Farm the little blighters have been real bad, I fould myself doing the Great Australian Salute and was a real nuisance when cracking and shovelling concretethat I decided to get it out and wear it, it works wonders. I havn't swung a hammer like this for years Just a bit over a month to go and I'll be on the road heading back to the Top End.
Me with the ExplorOz fly Net
The photo's below show the concrete walls I have been cracking up and the finished result with it all placed in the channels as fill that will be concreted over.
All the inner Concrete walls to demolish
All the inner walls cracked up and used for filling
And that's my Daughter up the ladder.

Building a
Barn , she done all the planning and timber work, she gets out there with chain saw, circular saw, drills holes in the concrete, etc etc. I have been doing all the steel work for mesh frame divisions, never done so much welding in my life , those little Inverter welders are magic.

Bloody Hell Doug. I'd be flat out picking the hammer up these days, let alone swinging it. Your a champion, bet you have slept
well lately. Cheers,Bob.

Never mock those
fly nets!
I have one that I affectionately call my "onion bag" after the plastic bags veges come in. It usually just comes for the ride but sometimes, when the flies are bad, it is
well appreciated!
I'm happy to flap at flies most days but sometimes when the hands are full and the flies have a real thing about heading up the nose or into the mouth...augh!
It's saved my sanity from
Kalbarri National Park, WA, to my garden in the Riverina- and a few
places in between!
PS: Working hard on the daughter's
farm, eh? Where would the world be without you-beaut dads like you?!
