Project Information
Part of the reticulation system on the Farm that runs around the house paddock had a buried water tap with an old plough disk covering it as a marker.
I decided to dig the tap and poly pipe up so I could neatly house it and connect a hose for easy access.
I had some red gum logs in the shed from fallen trees on the farm.
I dug up the pipe , dug a two foot hole in the ground, carefully shaped the log with a chainsaw so as there was a piece that the hose could hang on. I then hit the whole log with a 9 inch 80 grit disk sander to neaten it up.
I inserted the log in the ground and with a crow bar pounded the dirt around it to keep it in place.
Drilled a hole to wire on the tap using 8 gauge farm wire and coated with some natural decking oil.
unbeknownst to me at the time Lovie took some pics whilst I was heads down at it.
All in all , one piece of wood with one drilled hole. Im tipping it will see me out.
