    Hmm, You said that you have completely drained a pond with siphon because missed judging the amount of water flow. Why not put a reducer Tee on the supply end down in the lake, with say 2” pipe sticking up to the height of the water you want. Then, when the water level reaches that the siphon will now suck air break the vacuum, stop the water flow.

    Silly question Chris here in the UK anything over a 4 ft pile of vegetation would create heat to help break it down but we don't have any where near the temperatures you do over there is there a risk of self combusting or will it break down to quick

    • @Torqu3d
      @Torqu3d 2 года назад +4

      Here in the US the vegetation usually gets burned on site in large piles or it gets hauled off to a dumping site or land fill. Not a common thing for piles to combust without a starter source.

    • @njonebale7889
      @njonebale7889 2 года назад

      it’ll build heat as it decomposes but may or may not self combust, but maybe the right day, temperature, humidity level, barometric pressure and a few other factors, and the introduction of some hot lead…you may be able to roast some marshmallows!

Nice work.

    Chris, you are hard on yourself. Some operators around here would take a week to do what you did in a day. You did a fine days work for the way it had to be done. As usual, you used your head for more than a hat rack and moved the ball down the field. IF the ground was harder there are faster ways to do things, but the "if" is the point. You had to deal with reality and made it work without creating a major mess. Kudos, man. Job well done.

    C'mon Chris
    Step it up a notch and put large ball valves on your siphon fill and discharge pipes. Show everyone you are also the king of the siphon.

    Don`t slide off,,,,at least the zipline ladder made a good camera mount. Were those two pine logs "sinker Pine fat lighter"? Mud on your tracks is good right?, stops the rollers from squeeking- It`s taking the time it takes for the Pond Master to complete the work. What`s the news on Ol`Betty`s transmission seal to the engine?

    Hi Chris. Sometimes you don't seem to achieved much because you start 3 jobs but haven't finished anything. The next day, you finish those 3 jobs and you feel you have done a lot. I love it when a plan comes together as they say.

    Pond refurbishment must be one of the most satisfying kinds of work, as the improvements are evident right from the start.
