waterboy 2.0 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 What a night for wind ...lolLooking around this morning to see what carnage resulted, and then its like WTF, alas RIP spillover greenhouse. Wind was strong enough to pull the mass of anchor bolts out of the bedrock.https://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh492/waterboytas/DSCF8145_zps19b2ae47.jpg&key=18f834d9757fd6a3be1ca888bc5ff6597ce87cc375442353885c358b0c320f20Luckily there were few serious injuries and some tricho seedling fatalities..... funeral will be tomorrowhttps://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh492/waterboytas/DSCF8146_zps94bf4acd.jpg&key=4fc07f1bb32a95c383e7a91e623418547ad11278666beaca14446926b8155c86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waterboy 2.0 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) lol...you get what you pay for lads. 'tis an ebay cheapy I re-engineered a fair bit and kept in in fair shape during its transit , pulling the rock bolts out caught my surprise. Thats about 40m from where it was positioned....Being exposed on a mountain doesnt help...roflLost a few stag trees I loved as well about the place, to be honest that gutted me a bit more.Now its time to overcrowd the others, and contemplate the rebuilding of the bitch from the ashes like a phoenix.

bℓσωηG Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 shit!! lucky not too much damage though.. one of the reasons i dont have a green house yet as its windy as fuck here, and i am thinking it would pay to have a solid wooden frame concreted in the ground , but this will take some time .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortly Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Mother nature isn't playing by the usual rules anymore, might be time to be thinking steel, chemsets & cyclone rods and before winter.If you were a tad closer i have a 13/16" X 36" masonry bit for my Hilty that comes in handy for anchorage bolts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterboy 2.0 Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 well after having a smoke and coffee, and clearing up the wind broken catha limbs the bodycount is one broken pedro (now will be two plants <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_newimprovedwinkonclear.gif ), 40+ tricho seedlings done for that look like they've been rattled to shit and a caapi that was climbing inside whos pot cannot be found anywhere (WTF).Not bad at all really, I still dont know why the trich cuts do not look like they have had a bowling ball through them.....Time to get the ol' wheelbarrow out then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
