Public liability insurance payouts have been so huge that insurance is impossible to get now for a whole lot of things, and if i dug a bit, I'm sure I could find you cases where someone (probably a burglar attempting a break and enter) was awarded hundreds of thousands of doallrs because they slipped and strained their ankle on an apple core from a fruit tree in a backyard somewhere. This sort of litigation we picked up from the world's best teachers. I'll give you one example. A burglar was trying to break into a friends home. Climbed a pipe andopened the 1st floor bathroom window. Stuck his arm through and it was immediately latched onto by the resident Doberman. Burglar threw his other arm up and smashed thru the glass severely cutting his wrist and arm. He let go and fell to the ground, tearing his hand from the clenched jaws of the dog and losing IIRC two fingers in the process. The fall broke numerous bones and did other damage. My friend was sued by the crim for having a dangerous dog, won the case and was granted substantial compensation. One can only hope that he stuck it all into his arm and justice was done! The dogs life was saved on appeal. Oz1...of the 3 twins. I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you. |

Yeah, happens all the time in suburban and near suburban Australia too.
Been a number of cases of people buying land near a pig farm or mushroom farm and immediately trying to get the places closed down. IMNSHO there should be a caveat put on subdivision titles denying the right to complain about pre-existing activities. Applies in spades to people who buy waterfront apartments and immediately try to get the commercial boatyards shut down (another problem in Sydney).

You'll probably be pleased to know that last winter I planted a walnut, 2 cherries, an apple, a pear, nectarine and peach. This winter I'll plant some blueberries and raspberries and probably some more fruit tree varieties. Bit cold for citrus but may try anyway. My Sydney place has a lot of citrus trees and an apple tree, all planted by us when we moved in nearly 20 years ago. However it's on a 1000m square lot which simply doesn't exist any more. Developers keep trying to buy the place so they can build 5 villa units on it.

Cetol is great once you learn how to use it. Maybe that's the trouble. Of all the people I've ever seen use it, the best looks like a layer of smeared-on orange jello. The new stuff "Cetol Lite" looks a little better. Judging by how quickly it turns to crap, and how much touch up work it seems to need to avert this, IMHO it doesn't last one minute longer than varnish, either. Makes more sense to put on a coat of paint. .... It's way more forgiving on older teak than varnish. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to put on 16 coats of varnish only to have the plugs and seams blow damn near every spring. F**k varnish:^) Never had this problem. Sounds like the wood is getting too much moisture into it. What are you using for a base coat? What's it bedded on? 16 coats of varnish ought to hold up much better than that. Right now we're on coat #11 (my wife is doing 99% of it). I had a conversation with a guy on our dock who is PO'd about his Cetol that he switched to last year. He got fed up with varnish (apparently he got the impression that 3 or 4 coats was enough to last a year) and sanded his gunwhale, eyebrow, handrails (now *there's* a PITA) etc etc down to bare wood so as to put on Cetol Lite. Looked like orange jello, but at least you could almost see the wood grain. Now it's mostly flaked off and the wood's got black spots again. What's up with mast supports? Are you switching to deck stepped masts? The main mast step is on the sole so there needs to be something between that and the keel besides 18" of air. There were a couple of loose chunks of oak, but we'd like something more likely to stay in place when the you know hits the fan. I'd consider molding in some fiberglass supports. From what you've already done with the hanging knees, it shouldn't be too hard. Metal corrodes and wood rots. Besides you can mold in a little gutter & basin to catch the sap running out of the mast ;) Hahahaha, Prince Charlie was pretty out too, ya shoulda seen it! Why am I not surprised...

Varnish takes more effort, but I've seen it last a long long time. Proper use of Cetol 1) Sand with 80, then 160 if you like 2) Wash with water bleach mixture 3) Wipe down with acetone. Teak should appear light colored with no grey! 4) Apply light single coat of cetol, then 2nd 24 hours later. Use sponge brush ONLY. 5) Apply Cetol gloss coat, then second coat.
