Looks like whisky doesn't make you hair curl then!
Yerp, me ex s-i-l got a few after he kept seeing or hearing scrotes on his land. He had a lot much of it wooded. I remember going all over his place discussing where to site them.
Can't remember if they had the desired effect, but he hasn't mentioned said intruders for a long time.

Had to get up super early today as W had a 9 a.m. appt at the physio. She (physio) said we should take her to the doc to get her ankle checked out as it now hurts on the opposite side to the break.
This having to work with someone with a paralysed foot is messing with her head. So off to docs to make an appt, Weds. (Imagine doing that in the UK, although he, like the physios, has a sign up saying "No more new patients.")
Then off to what we jovially call "the cheap shop" where they sell all sorts of stuff, came away with all sorts of stuff, but including a salad spinner and a lot of velcro to help me finish off the windy-uppy thing for the bubble wrap cover.
Sun blazing down, having a late breakfast, then off to feed the chooks, open the pool and get on with said device.
Have a nice day folks!

Did you not get the strap kit?
Similar to these https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Aquabud...Kit-8PCS-for-Swimming-Solar-Pool/353076369970
Although I usually end up screwing the strap to the pole cos the heat melts the glue and they fall off

No we didn't, didn't realise you could get them on their own without the hugely expensive roller thing.Did you not get the strap kit?

But still ahead as I expect the glue to give way so have got full length velcro so I can wrap it right round the pole, more than a few times, the other bit I'll simply tie knots in and thread throught the eyelets which I had the sense to order with it. Those white clip-on things look not too good.
If the glue STILL fails I'll drill and pop rivet.

Do you have a stone surround on the edge of the pool that has a small overhang?
We do and I have found its easier to lift the cover and give it a tug over the edge before trying to wind it up. Less stress on the cover fixings, and eyelets was a good call I think, not had that option here.
And get the roller straight as it will wind up wonky if not
Get in it
. Get W in it hope it will help her footBeen in today and will go in again later, our cover has been off now for about a week (i think) in an attempt to keep it away from bath temps
. Its still sitting around 29-30.J

These are totally independent of your current electrical supply and run independent from external influence and no wiring to cut the marvels of satellite

The only way to deal with long haul is with a bit of drink and sleepy.
I did it for 20yrs usually once a month.
Sleep, wake , find a bar/food, ready for the next flight.

..that WW3 has started.
My boy has finally gone on the offensive and had a chat with the police about the antics his ex-wife (is getting up to and his concerns for his children). Coppers have given him some homework to do and have suggested they will alert social services.
They aske him if he wanted to press charges for all the harassment at this time, but he said "I've warned her I will raise a formal charge if she ever does it again and so far she's stopped, but I don't think it will last, so let's wait & see.
We fully expect her to make allegations about inappropriate behaviour or abuse against him WRT her and the kids as she has already done this against her step-dad and Grand-dad in the past. I think she's a head-case.
She's off work for "mental-health" reasons ATM. Why she is allowed to have the kids I don't know.

Aha, satellite, that is the missing piece of the jigsaw.
I have completed the first edition of the roller mechanism, it is now sitting on its roller under its special little cover, the string and Velcro design worked fine, resting on a temporary base of two trestles with 4 clamps to keep it centralised. It wound up pretty straight for a first attempt and, as you say, I was careful to lift it out of the end of the pool so nothing caught on the overhanging slabs.Do you have a stone surround on the edge of the pool that has a small overhang?

Never a nice situation to be in, I hope he mentioned to plod about her habit of allegations. Get it in first sort of thing...that WW3 has started.

Tell him to save any communications. Text/ email/ record calls, it will all help. I know.

Oh yes, he's already told them all this, and he has a full log of all the messages. There are even nudy pics & vids taunting him about what he's missing. There's bizarre texts and messages with pics late at night/early hours and he is going to screen shot them all and hand it in as a log to the police.
