That too. 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.

the
confined quarters and absence of open space. The australians
posting in this newsgroup range from strongly deviant to
extremely deviant from the suburban norm.

I think that that statement would apply to the USA people and the Candians
here, too....the trend here in new housing is the 3000sq ft house on a 60x90
lot...and you don't own the lot, just the house....all the grounds are
communal...think we'll just stay here in our littler older house in the
middle of 6 acres with our fruit trees and wildlife....

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...

Doug, I've been using Cetol for 9 years with no problems and it certainly
doesn't look orange. Alien's floors were done with cetol.

http://hometown.aol.com/bobsprit/images/int23.jpg

People always assume it's varnish. Proper use of Cetol provides varnish like
results with FAR less work. 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.

Maintain with cetol gloss ONLY.

A gross libel! when all I';ve been doing is cowering at my
keyboard having remembered what happens to Loki at the end of
days.

ANyway, if you sent your emails to an address that actually
exists they would have a better chance of gettign through....

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.

Doug, I've been using Cetol for 9 years with no problems and it certainly
doesn't look orange. Alien's floors were done with cetol.

People always assume it's varnish. Proper use of Cetol provides varnish

like
results with FAR less work. 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.

Maintain with cetol gloss ONLY.



and then set the pumpkins out and wait for the 'trick-or-treaters.

Weren't you suspicious when the "fried chicken" had a bill & webbed feet?


Read somewhere recently that kids got charged with cruelty to animals
for seeing if it was true that chickens could run with their head
chopped off.

How times have changed. When I was a kid, that's where chicken dinner
came from, and that's what happened to roosters that got a bit too
cocky. They really could run around with their heads chopped off.
