Just a quick up date to the interweb connection. I brought a prepaid USB Dongle and get good internet a k down the road. So my ute is now called the mobile internet café. I am going to get an antenna for the dongle and check it on my property to see what I get signal wise. I will be checking at...
Mark I am going to put one beside the chook pen and see if a snake visits. I have seen a couple of pythons around the place. For $20 I will give it a go. If I see a snake then it doesn't work. I also have to please the Boss and she told me to get one.:whistles:
The ones I am looking at are 12 month contracts. No choice if I want to access the NSS for free. Also there are only the 10 ISP's signed up to the NSS and they all do 12 month contracts.
Ok. I was telling the Minister about them at tea and as she is not a snake person :shock:. She has suggested that I get one to try. So stay tuned. I do have my doubts though but for $20 its worth a try.
I was at the local "ECO" shop today getting some "lifestyle" books and when mentioned chooks the lady behind the counter sprinted out the back(big lady. Sight to be seen). She came back with the above snake repellers fo $20 each. She was quite pushy with them and said how they worked so well. I...
Ok. After doing a bit of research, Next G connection is out. As you said Mark way to slow. Good for texting if I stand on the fence on the highest part of the property. The "cabin" is 100m's down a hill. So I spoke to a very helpful man from the NBN Suport Scheme (NSS) and I qualify for free...
Not sure of legallity, but I have seen people filling the 45kg bottles at the service station using auto gas. I have seen 2 different people at 2 different servos doing it. Considering I can't fill jerry cans in the tray of my ute I am not sure how they get away with it.
Thanks everyone. That is exactly the info I was after. I will continue to do my home work all be it better informed now.
The responses above are the reason why I signed up to this forum. Its info from real world users and subject matter experts.
Cheers everyone.

Hello all. I have been looking at my options for internet coverage where we are moving to and it looks like I might have to go with smoke signals. :(
There is a .Gov subsidy to get sat hard wear fitted for free. Thens its a matter of getting an ISP. But after looking at internet plans I was...
The DE I use has no insecticide. Sorry I should have stipulated that. The bee can't gain entry into the trough only the SHB. I find 1-2 each time I check it. I don't think any one method will ever control SHB. I keep intouch with the Bee Keapers up this way via email and we share what each other...
With SMB. I use three control messures at the same time. Fistly is a blue chux cloth between the brude box and the super. The SHB gets stuck in the fine fabric. You pretty much pick the chux up place it in a zip lock bag and place in a freezer for a day or fridge for a week which will kill the...
Up this end of the world we have Small Hive Beetle as well as Asian Honey Bee. The SHB will essentially slime out a hive due to the SHB lavae cycle and loves high humidity. The AHB has been fount to breed with the European honey bee which causes a reduction in productivety not to mention the AHB...
The oaks we have have a rich red colour just from water on them and they are bloody heavy as well. I had to stick the three treads I ruff cut in the wheel barrow to get them down to the cabin.. They were 900 long, 350 wide and about 45mm thick.
I would like to mill it and let it dry out. At the moment if we get a fire through most will get burned. I have no real plans yet other than to have it on hand when needed.
Took a pic of one tree I cut the step treads off. I have about 50-60 dead trees that are around 500-600mm in dia. Mostly blood oak. Not bad timber. The termites don't seem to touch it.
Hey thanks Mark. I had a look around for any milling posts but didn't see that one. Must of had my cloth eyes on. :rolleyes:
That little chainsaw mill is what I have been looking at. All be it on line. I haven't been lucky enough to fondle one yet. ;)
