Bird Bath again
Posted: Sun Dec 12, 2010 2:47 pm
‘Day All,
I thought I should give an update on my solar-powered bird bath.
Initially, as I said, there was strong customer resistance following the modifications that I thought necessary but eventually the new system of a paddle-plate above the storage urn was accepted and did prove popular. Today being the first fine day in yonks, instead of sitting around knocking off a few cold ones, I got busy and set about a system shutdown and the long overdue maintenance procedures of filter cleaning and urn scrubbing.
Then would you believe, while I am up a ladder hosing the leaves and muck out of the gazebo gutter which feeds the urn, I have a deputation of honeyeaters and wattle birds looking over my shoulder complaining about not having been advised of this procedure, the interruption to their lifestyle and wanting to know when will the service be resumed?
Geez! And I thought that the mail-handlers union used to be hard to get on with.
Merry Christmas All,
Ian
