1/2: I almost would bet that you are thankful to go to work on Monday for the easier part of your week. great work as per usual on the WEST WING and for helping out Ian's widow with her car and chat.

Did the rodents win a few more ribbons and points? i'm betting they did because Mrs. 1/2 runs a tight ship.

best of luck finishing the West Wing and are you still waiting for a new electrical or did you do that already and i missed it?

is the drone project on hold until summer or do tell?

cheers

 

[1/2 Cup]

Nice work this weekend

I know what you mean about the weekends being one day too short!

BiTurbo, thank you.

There just never seems to be enough hours in the day or days in a weekend let me tell you.

Holy cow, you must be the most efficient person EVER!!!. I work pretty hard, but I don't seem to get half done that you do. Great job.

xtremek, I have to say I am certainly not the most efficient person around but I just keep on keeping on and I truly enjoy every moment of it..

Well try this retired thing. They not only take away your paycheck, they also confiscate weekends and holidays. Now I'm on the dole like seemingly the majority so I have no excuse to not get things done. Working six days per week is killing me

Andy, what you are doing would certainly be a challenge and physically fairly demanding. I know as I get older I just pace myself and work within my limitations. I could retire right this minute and never be looking for something to do but the way I am going it looks like I will have to work until I am 90 plus to be able afford retirement.

drives, I have to admit going to work on Monday and sitting behind a computer for the day lets this body recover just a little.

We are just slowly ticking the boxes with the West Wing, Mrs ½ Cup has ordered the new floor coverings yesterday and the to do list is slowly getting shorter. I still have not received a firm date for the electrical supply to be changed over as yet, the powerco is many months behind at the moment not that it is too much of an issue.

I was great to catch up with Leonie on Saturday and be able to help, she seems to be getting stronger every time we catch up and has a very positive view on her future as a widow now..

Although Mrs ½ Cup went to the show, it was without the rodents and just to help out this time which she very much enjoys doing.

Drones, well let me put it this way the subject of UAV Operations at work has become an internal bun fight.

When you have our Legal type people, our Corporate Compliance type people, our Innovation and Planning type people, our Corporate Strategy type people, our Information and Technology type people and our Risk Management type people all putting their two cents worth in and butting heads at the moment over what we can and can’t do, privacy issues, policy and procedure issues along with Data management ( the list goes on )

So effectively we have been GROUNDED for the last few months whilst this is all sorted.


Again thank you one and all for your visit and have a great day.

 

[HOTFR8]

HOTFR8, I could not agree more and you will be surprised..

A little like AutoBarn and AutoPro may be different stores but they also use the same buying group.

Shopping round with catalogs you often find the smaller buying groups can compete with the bigger stores.

 

[drivesitfar]

1/2: one reason why i'm SEMI-RETIRED is the RED TAPE of doing business in our world as it sits today. not sure if it can be fixed, but it definitely needs a BIG ADJUSTMENT.

hopefully you and your team can push through the RED TAPE and get those drones doing at least the non fun or dangerous jobs they were designed to.

good luck with the WEST WING and like i mentioned before it's going to be a great B & B if your tenant is short term and buys something in the near future.

just wondering if you managed to do all that STUFF you did while babysitting the rodents or is that Shelby's job when Mrs. 1/2 is out and about?

cheers

 

[BBChevro]

HOTFR8, you are right there...

That said watch the pricing on things for example I was looking at some 50mm tube stops and they were 30 % cheaper at Mitre 10 for the exact same thing in the exact same packet.

Regards and have a good one..

You can use that to your advantage, as Bunnings will give a further 10% discount to any competitor's advertised price for the same product.

Keep an eye out for their own "store specific" specials - many years ago, I saw a blackboard special for a pressure washer at a Bunnings store in another suburb and procrastinated about it until I got home, then decided to buy it.
I called in to the local Bunnings - they had the same pressure washer, but It wasn't discounted.
When I told them about the other store's price, they phoned the store to check - then gave me 10% off the already discounted price.
I went away very happy that day.

Gentlemen, totally agree, we always do our homework before we purchase any thing and not be shy in asking for a price check and for the most part stores will put their money where their mouths are which is a bonus.

The other thing is I do like to support local business, as they employ local people and support the community, in this day and age its a terribly important consideration.
I do like to support Australian made where possible.

drives, well will get threw the red tape in the end eventually, as my old Boss always said " 1/2 Cup you will never beat the system, however you can always make the system for you" and that's just so true of our work place now.

We are truly seeing the light at the end of the tunnel now in the West Wing.. and the To Do List is getting shorter by the day..

Managing the rodents and Shelby when Mrs 1/2 Cup is away is no big problem just as long as I keep them apart as the little ones tend to rag up Shelby big time ( I guess you could call it small dog syndrome )

Thank you yet again and have a great day ( make that evening )

 

[1/2 Cup]

All,

Yet another week has nearly gone by and the weekend is approaching rapidly…

I am off this afternoon to travel to Melbourne, staying overnight for a Seminar dealing with “ Safety in Design” tomorrow ( Friday ) along with three of our Engineers from work. Quite looking forward to this as it is a very relevant consideration in what we do.

The West Wing,

. Mrs ½ Cup has booked the carpet install for Tuesday of next week.
. The painting is all but done.
. During the week I replaced a number of taps and a shower to hand held diverter that were leaking, grout sealing so there’s another few jobs off the list.

So this weekend:

. I have some trim pieces to install around the base boards.
. Being a solid brick home I intend to seal the floor boards to the walls with foam fill in all the rooms that have carpet in them just to help insulate them.
. Reinstall some door hardware now that the painting is done.
. Refit two internal doors.

Saturday evening we are out to celebrate my sisters 50th known as the “ Festival of Kim “ it is to be held at a local Hotel due to the recent flooding of her bush block that backs up to a local creek where we would have had a roaring bonfire, fire pit, BBQ, and the odd Ale.
Another must attend on my social calendar…

The Rover K Series build:

I am hoping to spend at least a day on the engine build this weekend, Andrew has borrowed my brothers stretch bolt gauge for the big end bolts which will allow me to get the pistons, liners, cylinder head, oil rail, big ends and the unit all together in one piece. Thats the plan any way..

As usual there will be the non-negotiables, but subject to change without notice…

Noted in my work calendar this morning I have been scheduled in early September for two days to complete what is called a “Comprehensive Dam Safety Review” where our Assets, Maintenance Systems, Civil, Mechanical and Electricals are reviewed by external Engineering Review Consultants to ensure that we comply to all the relevant standards and guidlines. The review will take me to a lovely part of the state deep into HOTFR8 country at Laanecoorie and Newlyn Reservoirs.

Have a great day/evening where ever you are and thank you for the visit.

 

[oldironfarmer]

So glad you have proper management at home so you don't waste your time

 

[1/2 Cup]

Andy, we do try however things can and do come out from left field at times so we just run with it.

Then there is that all important smell the roses time and me time that are all part of the non negotiables in life.

Have a good one and thank you for your visit.

 

[dlcwent]

"As usual there will be the non-negotiables, but subject to change without notice"…

Years ago I worked for a man that would sit down with me every morning and we would discuss what the days task at hand were and make a plan. At the end of the conversation he always said, "but subject to change without notice". That just brought me back 40 years reading that.

"Then there is that all important smell the roses time and me time that are all part of the non negotiables in life." Words I try to live by.

Thanks 1/2 cup. I always enjoy reading your posts. I hope you have a weekend filled with things that you chose to get accomplished.

 

[shortykorte]

And have a great weekend. I will.

 

[Terrick down Under]

Those expressions remind me of a Russian born draughtsman I worked for, he was a very caring person and worked really hard.....as an example to us.
He would hold a weekly meeting every Tuesday morning and his final comment was "We have discuss this equally and I will tell you what you are getting". He meant it in a good way, so after about two weeks of this I sat down one morning and said...this is how your statement comes across, try saying it like this. It worked and we got along really well. I was sad to leave, but a chance to be leading hand of the Tool Room Machine shop at the Royal Australian Mint, is something I liked and proud to have done.

Thank you Dan, I am pleased that it brought you back in time. Quite often it is nice to be reminded of those special moments and thoughts that lay dormant in you subconscious somewhere...

And have a great weekend. I will.

And likewise Shorty

Terrick, thank you for sharing that with us To have a mutual understanding like that breaks down all barriers in a working relationship.

Working at the Mint would have been one hell of an experience as well. I find it fascinating the diversity and experience of what people have done in their lives.

Speaking of which, I attended a Safety in Design Seminar in Melbourne yesterday with three of our Engineers from work. I felt like the thorn amongst the roses being a tradesman Electrician and not having letters after my title and invited into the inner sanctum of Engineering World.

http://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/

This was the view from the seminar at the 31 first floor, looking to the West over Melbourne. On the left the wavy roof structure is Southern Cross Rail Station and beyond the High rises is a precinct known as Docklands.

The seminar was a real eye opener even though most projects we do at work Safety in Design is a big part of the process. It certainly made me think just how applicable it was to what we do in our garages on a daily basis with any project:

What is the risk to what we are doing???

and

What is the consequence of having a failure??

I guess that most of us would do that subconsciously with out even thinking about it.

My thought for the day...

Have a great week end one and all..........

 

[HOTFR8]

I know that area well as I go to many events located in 'Jeff's Shed' or as it is also correctly known the 'Melbourne Exhibition Centre'. If the day had not been so cloudy you would have had a great view.

 

[oldironfarmer]

Safety is very important in the petrochemical industry I worked in. Flash fires are no fun. That attitude on safety followed me home. It is extremely important when you are working alone. You could die of a minor injury not being able to get out of the way of additional hazards.

There are no accidents, just failure to assess the consequences of actions. Like driving fast on old tires. Heading through the desert with cracked fan belts. Relying on lifting equipment that has not been proof tested and thoroughly inspected. Being complacent because the bull has never challenged you before. Each of those and many more can kill you.

Thanks for reminding me

Hi Steve
I go away for a while and come back to over 100 pages missed, you sure know how to punish a guy for slacking off, i have gone through a few pages to see what i've missed and hope to catch up with all of it in the next couple of days, hope everything is well with you and the family.

HOTFR8, anything over two stories high is a fairly novel experience for me.

You could just make out Port Phillip Bay through the mist and low cloud, typical Melbourne weather - Four seasons in one day.. that aside it was a great view.

Andy, we talk about safety over and over at work and it must be a lesson learned that you can apply in your own garage, home, on the road or what ever. Never short cut safety as it only ends in tears..

gazza, you are spot on there.

Go for it, print away if it saves just one injury to ourselves, familly or friends in our work places, garages, sheds or homes it has been worthwhile...............

And a big thank you for that...

Have a great day and again thank you one and all...

 

[shortykorte]

Someone must think highly of you since you were chosen to go to seminar.
I've learned after working with engineers and others with the initials that smart doesn't always mean common sense. I'll take common sense any day.

 

[bmanners]

I have had safety drilled into me at work and I must be bringing it home. When doing a job in the shed a while back I told my 4yr old I have to becareful because there were sharp edges on the part I was filing. He told me to get some gloves!

Stay safe in your sheds and have fun making stuff.

As usual, 1/2 Cup said it best!

There is a real challenge getting people to believe that it was their failure that caused the "accident". I hope using that quote will help someone avoid at least one painful experience.

The more that people believe they can live accident free the fewer accidents they will have.

1/2 Cup - Sounds like you had a great time and no doubt was a valuable contributor to the conference.

 

[drivesitfar]

1/2: great pics of the city. even better safety STUFF you mentioned and the other members chimed in with there versions. OMG that is Safety stuff is so TRUE.

Always enjoy your TO DO LIST posts because you get them DONE so quickly and just add another batch.

hope you are having a great weekend and enjoying the Festival of Kim even though the location changed a bit.

cheers

shorty, I have to admit it was great to receive the opportunity to attend the seminar.
In my role at work, having a trade back ground really helps, when it comes to reviewing either a concept or detailed electrical design, Functional description, scope of works, installs and commissioning there is always a practical nuts, bolts and wires aspect to any project we do.

I wasn't going to mention common sense.

Andy, I have to fess up to doing some dumb things in my life time that I truly regret now and could have very easily ended in tears.

As bmanners said we get safety drilled into us at work and the focus now a days is to really assess every task you do, think of the risk and how you are going to mitigate that risk.
There is the added flow on effect into our garages, homes, travel and daily lives more so then ever. We are encouraged to actually use our work issued Personal Protective Equipment at home.

A with any seminar like that you get the most out of it if you can contribute no matter how trivial the question or comment may seem.

drives, thank you

It is great to see other members take up the Safety message. I guess we all need to be reminded of that from time to time..

A great night was had by all at the so called Festival Of Kim to celebrate my sisters 50th. I was also reminded that I was 10 years her senior and turning 60 this year..

I did spend all of yesterday in the West Wing

. Toilet door reinstalled.
. Refit all the remaining door hardware.
. Refit shelving brackets in the laundry.
. Repaired a cistern stop **** that was weeping.
. Reseal tile grout in the toilet.
. Sealed all the floor boards as a drought prevention measure before the carpet is installed on Tuesday to the three bed rooms and lounge. I have just a little to go this morning to finish up.
. Andrew is doing a bathroom make over so he was frequenting the Shed Downunder for hardware, tools and bits and pieces that he could use.
. Mrs 1/2 Cup has some touch up painting to complete on the base boards today and that will finish all the internal painting in the home.

I am still trying to get some time on the engine build today, we will see how that pans out.

Have a top day and thank you one and all for your visit..


Regards

 

[1/2 Cup]

Just a wee bit of Quality Shed Time ( QTS ) today.

a little more progress on the Rover K Series build.

View media item 63039
Liners, pistons and rods all in their homes in the block.

Next is to check all the Big End and end float clearances, we should get the bulk of this done over the next week..

I trust you are having a good one...

[1/2 Cup]

Seminar sounds good mate.

Hewey, facilitated by Engineers Australia the seminar was certainly well worth attending.
Even though I have participated in Safety In Design workshops for specific projects before, the seminar really gave me other perspectives to consider, firstly the structured manner in which one should be done and secondly there is no need to complicate the process, start simple and that drives then process in reality.

Thank you for the visit and have a great day...

 

[1/2 Cup]

Motor is looking good 1/2 Cup!

Engine looking really good!

Glad to see it coming together, checklist in hand

Thank you very much gentlemen.

Check lists are in hand let me tell you.

I am still coming to grips with Stretch Bolts and Angular torqueing of bolts on the build. I would much rather set a bolt to a torque setting than measure its stretch.
The irony of it is that ARP along with the stretch length also give you an initial torque setting + x amount off degrees on top of that.

Anyway you do what you have to do

Have a great day and thank you one and all for the visit..

 

[dlcwent]

1/2 cup I'm all in with you on the stretch bolts and torque + angle. I doubt if it's the proper thing to do but I find myself doing one bolt as instructed then adjust and readjust my torque wrench until I find the torque of said first bolt. Then I torque the rest of them in steps until I've reached the proper torque (or at least I think). So far I have gotten away with this method of madness that I have convinced myself of. Let me clarify one thing, if I was working on a motor out of the vehicle and all bolts were easily accessible, then I would do the torque + angle.

 

[slimpickins]

1/2 Cup!

Just checking in ... so you know I'm not ignoring you.

I've been working my way through your thread ... a bit at a time! and jumping around a bit too. Looks like you live in a beautiful part of the country with a great view.

Cheers!

 

[Paul_VR6]

For the rod bolts stretch length is best as you know the exact compression force that way. Torquing is effected by friction, so depending on prep and lubricant you can have the same torque and wildly different compression force. If its a torque to yield bolt (like many factory bolts are) it won't matter as you just need to get it stretched. The arps are strong enough that you never get to that region without very high compression force.

Thank you guys, I truly appreciate you chiming in on this one

These are 3/8 16 TPI ARP 2000 series bolts.

I am using the ARP lubricant that came with the con rods. Every thing has been very well cleaned then the lube applied to the threads and under the bolt heads.


At this point in time the bolts a just nipped up to hold every thing in place and what you have said makes perfect sense. The ARP documentation is a little vague to say the least.

Thank you so much.

Have a great day/evening.

1/2: i've been a little quiet for a reason because i have never rebuilt a car's engine and don't follow or know much about what you are talking about. that said i'm sitting on my chair reading every word and sucking up all the information you and others are saying like i'm a sponge. i also enjoy all the cool pictures and all that shiny engine bling that i've only seen on HOW'S IT MADE Ferrari engine builds.

keep up the great work my friend along with all the rest of the stuff you have going on in your busy life.

cheers and good luck with everything

Thank you yet again drives, the engine build has been a journey in it self. I have done quite a few builds over the years, every thing from Model A Ford to BMC Mini engines and I am still learning with every one.

The Rover K Series is a beast all of its own due to the construction techniques used which has been a real steep learning curve for me. We have had some great advice and assistance along the way with small steps and milestones we are getting there.

Thank you and have a good one...

 

[1/2 Cup]

All,

The weekend is approaching rapidly…


The To Do List looks like this:

The West Wing,

. The carpet install was booked for last Tuesday, we decided to wait another week to let the base board paint cure that little bit more and we were cutting things a little fine anyway..
. The painting is now completed. Thank you Mrs 1/2 Cup
. I have a few bits of trim to finish so I should knock them over pretty smartly. Completed
. I will replace the entrance door as it is looking a little past its best by date, being an odd size I am going to check out what is available at our local demolition peoples yard as they usually have plenty of odd quality stuff in stock that I can make use of .

Other:

. HOTFR8 s radio segment will be a must listen too on Saturday morning.
. It’s that time of the year when spring is in the air so the lawns need a bit of a haircut now. ( make that x two ) done and dusted


The Rover K Series build:

. I would like to get the engine pretty much closed up so that I can then turn my attention to the double overhead cams, timing gear and lifter installs.


# As usual there will be the non-negotiables, but subject to change without notice…



Have a great day/evening where ever you are and thank you for the visit.

EDITED Friday night... *** sorry a nice red.

Well Shorty, that'd be why your list is so long. I can't criticize you as I have things on my TO DO list from months ago. I try to convince myself you shouldn't rush into things that you know you'll love to do because once it's done you don't have it to look forward to.

# As usual there will be the non-negotiables, but subject to change without notice… Thanks 1/2 cup
