Garden updates - Bottom garden Part 3

Last year I installed a water tap on the back fence to reduce watering effort and save dragging out the 50M garden hose for casual watering.

Garden tap is fitted with a Holman 2 Way Metal Tap Outlet
Both garden hose and poly pipe feed the sprinkler systems.

Garden updates - Poly repair Part 1

Oops...sound of rushing water near the garden shed after connecting the poly line that feeds the cottage garden and turning on the local tap at the back of the house.

This is where she sprung a leak and it's simply due to me doing a workaround which has come back to bite.

The repair is already done, this is a 'after' photo as there was too much water to take a 'before' photo.

Front porch sensor light

 Front porch sensor light needs replacing.

With regard to domestic lighting this is one of my all time favourites. Been using them for decades and lost count how many I installed for people.

They are DIY no sparky required.

The light must be 15 years old and still works OK but is flickering so time for a new one.

I should be able to repair it to use elseway - see last photo.

Multifunction Belt Clamp

 

With all the work I'm doing with picture frames this is a great addition to the tool cabinet.

Another new toy for kitties.
