grease trap remover This morning when I went down stairs into the underground car park, there was a bad smell. A bit like sewerage. I thought oh dear, the sewerage is leaking somewhere… But then as I exited the car park the reason became obvious. JJ Richardson, Grease Trap Cleaner had [...]  new  old The old washing machine died. It made clunking sounds, then blew the house fuse and had a strange smell, that I would guess is oil. I bought it in about 2002 so it was 7 years old. I suspect we had not thought to put the transport clamp bolts back in it when it was moved, so maybe that caused the failure. The rear metal work that holds the motor and washing tub collapsed.

My work friends [...] I have never much liked the plants on the south planter. So I chose to replace them. I had picked out two plants to use with Keat the previous weekend, but the nursery had sold the second plant type, so I used ones that are all the same. They have grown to two or [...] Well, the old plant never look healthy after moving house. Late last week it finally succumbed. So on the weekend I headed off with Keat to wander the nurseries. We started out in Penrith, where is a nursery that specializes in natives. Then we went back to the nursery where she works. There they [...] Well I cut out one of the plants in the planter box and replaced it with another native. And then it rained lots, over 5cm. So the plant is very happy. |
