Water in a tank would be useful for a bushfire, make sure you put a STORZ fitting on it for the BFB and a SWS sign on the gate to help them.
G'day Ben, congrats on the bore! I just wanted to throw my two cents in on the par 3 design you showed at the start of the vid. As a golf course architect nuffy for most of my life, it looks great, EXCEPT FOR ONE THING. Please don't build the bunker numbered three in the diagram. The reason being is it will totally take away any option of a ground game, or the ability to run a ball onto the green. You already have the dam there as a major hazard, you certainly should therefore leave yourself options for playing a variety of shots into the green. Just bombing high short irons in would get boring after a while, but running 7 and 8 irons in provides variety and challenge. Also, with that front bunker, it'll take a monumental effort for your kids to hit over it, as opposed to letting them run the ball up and on to the green. So I would suggest removing that front bunker (labelled 3), and instead continue with the fairway grass up to the apron of the green. I'm sure this will provide you with many more options, and far greater playability.
this guy is right
💯 need options to play different shots on your everyday par.
awerosme dude for suggesting it. That is very professional advise.
Mate, great advice!!
What are your thoughts on putting that bunker on the back and bringing it into play with the other tee box?
@@LawnTips Just sending you an email mate.
I reckon Schnitty would give CBJ a run with his digging skills. Glad to see he was there to supervise.
So happy we finally have the bore. Bring on another golf project
Last Aussie 😁. Ben , great insight into the process mate . 😎
Your most BORING video yet mate, I loved it! I like following the progress at your new property, keep up the hardworking!
Brian's a champ! CBJ got a great bore for us just over the hill from your place at 34m. Flows well enough not to need a tank! Loving your vids-very informative and entertaining.
Great explanation on how the drilling works! You should think about stocking the dam with some native fish like perch?
That truck seems to have gotten into this yard a bit easier than the last 😂
😂 very true
Best video yet! Can’t wait to see the plumbing and this thing hooked up
Yeah boi 💪🏼 time to get these projects really happening now 🤙🏼
Can’t wait to see that Par 3 taking shape
Bore drilling is such a cool thing they are legends knowing how deep they will hit water with experience comes knowledge
Damn you're living my dream, wish I found your channel sooner!
You wont get bored with this bore...
Woooooooooooooo liquid gold! congrats!
Great vid Ben, good explanation of the process.
Finally! So excited for this part!
Nice Water is good vor the lawn 😁
That was interesting Ben, Thanks for sharing, my hubby’s cousins own a drilling business up here in Queensland, but out in the country part of Queensland, and I’ve often wondered how it all works, looks like Schnitty was having a Great time also Lol 😂, he looked so cute sleeping with your little girl on Facebook, I’m sure she loved it as much as he did, he’s a little inside puppy 🐶. Cheers from Janelle 😎😎🐶
Love the EAL cap. Good to see you sharing the golfing love.
Last bit I didn’t listen just kept thinking I hope dog doesn’t go down shoot 😂 perfect fit
My 2 cents worth would be a grundfos solar SQF2.5-2 subbie with 6 panels on the bore pumping to the tank. Helical rotor pump will handle the head and can slow it down if bore yield ends up dropping. Then out of the tank doing the irrigation I would recommend a Franklin MHQP 5. Or a grundfos CRIE 5-5 both will give you 100lpm at 4 Bar with room to spare
"we got a very good bore here considering the HOLE situation" LOL! 9:10
i like your cap
Peeps who don't live in a rural setting won't fully understand this. Especially if you rely on catching your own water for everything! Very exciting when you dig it and even better when it less than 200 parts/Pmil, beautiful just like ours!
We just bought 2ha in Samford Valley. 100k L of tank storage already but trying to weigh up whether it’s worth sinking a bore. 2 active bores within 500m of us with potable water @ 20m.
Good to see you got the boring underway mate. Keen to see this par 3 development as an avid lawn and golf lover.
Good to see you got s good outcome without going ridiculous depth
Just top dressed my lawn and it’s looking good👍
Need that drill to core my lawn at the new rental im at. Turf laid on titanium.
Great interesting vid as I didn’t know much about this stuff.
Think i'll need to call these blokes to aerate my lawn. Rock hard ground just laughed at my bunnings manual aerator.
Great work with the bore mate. In 2002 i sunk a bore at Macarthur Grange Golf Club. Went down 120 meters, and didn't hit water. A 15k gamble that didn't work. Please get a proper water analysis of the bore water. The results will be really interesting.
Definitely will get an analysis done 👌🏽
That sucks when you don’t get water 😅
Yo mate waddup that's 2 eps now without a yo mate waddup 😂
Soz haha
500 gal hour = 8 gal per min which is good but is still a low flow. For U.S folk like me, 62m= around 186ft which is an average- shallow depth well to be honest.
Here In the southeast U.S , I know someone that said they have a 130 gallon per min well, idk how deep but they use it to keep a 1 acre pond topped up
beautiful !!!!
Huge fan of this project! Can’t wait for the irrigation.
Are you going to get a water analysis done Ben? Just to see exactly what’s in the water.
Definitely will 👌🏽
Soooo jealous. I enquired with a few drilling companies for a bore and unfortunately they all said it wasn't worth it as my area was full of salt :(
Yes!
Been waiting for this video.
Can’t wait for the next Reno vid
Just perfect time! Love what you're doing!
cool vids man
Global Roto Moulding have a sale on 45,000L Rainwater tanks and ask for a JAZZ tank if you want it even cheaper
does your pond normally have a bunch of sediment in it? any plans on possibly introducing any fish to it?
WE GOT WATER, BOOooooiissS!
Here's a cool nerdy suggestion... Use your pool water sampling kit and run some pH, alkalinity, chlorine, calcium hardness tests. If for no other reason than to wear a white jacket and carry a notepad.
Boooooooorrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnngggggg!!!! 😂
So rude 😭
Plan on getting water quality tested?
I want a bore where I am but people in my area that have them say it can be fairly saline...lotta money to gamble 😬
My lawn Session is over, Most people call this a wonderful time of year but us Lawn nerds don't think so lol
Dang, things are getting serious now!
Hmmm so looking at the samples I’d imagine there’s a quarry nearby? Otherwise hmmm 🏹🎯💰💰💸💵
Coming from a place where one in every two houses has a bore for day to day water, I am not a big fan of bore considering it's long term implications. There should be some regulation around this.
Yep, we’re all screwed. But it’s because there are just too many people on the earth
Didn’t say “Yo mate what up? Welcome to another lawn tip vid” 😟
Well this wasn't bore-ing at all ;)
How do they determine there is water there? Is it just luck?
that's what brian said
Nice hat
Tell us what Brian said!!!
Much more Paul, much more
A little more room to get the truck in this time mate lol. Congrats on the new bore man :)
Haha just a little bit 😂
Here’s a dumb 2 part question;
Is it normal to have that much water just continuously spilling out of the bore hole once it’s done?
Will it stop free flowing once you’ve got the irrigation pumps all setup?
Genuinely curious never seen anything like it!- cheers
Could be due to the drill still running maybe lol I thought the same thing mate
He will have to cap it off. But yes it's common.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artesian_well
Finally got it done mate, just curious on a rough costing if you don't mind all good if not mate, I remember a few videos back you Said around 30 to 40 that's all
Talked about pricing at the end 😉
@@LawnTips ah shit I must've missed that sorry mate haha I'll rewatch it now. I'm keen as to see the end result for ya mate lol binge watching some of the old ones even 👍
All good man! Was around 16k in the end.
Also thanks mate!
@@LawnTips cheers mate, ended up watching it again lol hope you're getting a bit of this rain out your way at the moment, hope the kikuyu is going well to mate. Will there be another video with an update soon cheers mate 👍
That bloke operating the machine seems crazy to me not wearing any kind of mask standing in the middle of plumes of rock dust. Andesite is over 50% silica, if he's been making a habit of that it's going to catch up to him and he'll regret it.
Hey mate,
They actually wear masks all the time. He had left them in town that morning and as you can imagine they run on a tight schedule.
He made sure I knew that the wear them for that reason
@@LawnTips Fair enough then, if it was me I'd at least pull my shirt over my nose though lol
Yo Ben what up my man
Yo
Eh just on the Hwy
Hows the reno going?
Going good! Will have an update this week
@@LawnTips when do you reckon youll have a reel mower on it
In a few weeks I reckon!
What else did Brian say??
Much more Al
Knock my missus up please mate.
8 Gallons a minute is not good. START MAKING YOUR RETENTION POND LARGER LIKE TRIPPLE
Will be fine mate 👍🏽
Using all warm season grass apart from the green. Have two 20k tanks and the dam.
I won’t be watering every night.
Definitely is a low flow rate though
@@LawnTips 20,000 liter tanks or 10,000 Gallons either way I have no clue how many Gallons I use to keep my lawn green. But we get 30 inches of rain on average or 76 cm plus whatever snow we get
Yeah that’s fair enough. Definitely can take a lot of water as you say. Sounds like you have good rain fall as well
It about average.
Taking A Dump In My Toilet
Must of been a boring day...
did you forget to say some thing
Yo m8 what up?
First😃
First
Jesus how much does TH-cam pay
Not much mate. All comes down to views which I don’t get enough of those to pay for all these projects
BORING! (Sorry I couldn't help myself!!) HaHa
Haha 😂 I’ve had lots of those comments
