Hole in the Water

Product Information

A standard water butt is about 1 metre tall and half a metre wide with a tank capacity of 210 litres. You can choose between downspout replacement installation, which means your water butt would sit under a garden shed, garage or house with the downspout flowing directly into the water butt. In this case, you would need to install an overflow pipe to prevent water flooding in the event of heavy rain. Alternatively, you can also choose to install a rainwater diverter. This will divert a portion of the water from the downspout while also preventing the risk of flooding. The overall largest blue hole (taking into account depth and width) is located 100 kilometers from the coast of Belize. The Great Blue Hole is a massive 300 meters wide and 125 meters deep. [4] Formation [ edit ] Plant fossils are also well preserved at the bottom of blue holes, and using sediment cores it is possible to determine what species of plants and trees existed around the area thousands of years ago. For example, The Bahamas today are dominated by tropical dry evergreens, and tropical pines, but sediment cores from the Abacos blue hole revealed preserved woody species, such as Coccoloba, Exothea, and Bursera. In masonry walls, a weep hole may be formed by leaving a spacing in a vertical joint. For concrete walls, the weep hole is usually formed by casting-in a short length of plastic pipe, laid slightly sloping downward towards the front of the wall. Why are weep holes important for retaining walls? Giebels L (1994) Zeven eeuwen Rijnlandse uitwatering in Spaarndam en Halfweg. Van beveiliging naar beheersing. Verloren, Hilversum (in Dutch)

Youtube: uploaded at 19 May 2014 Used boats don’t come without problems either and to find that perfect one can be a time consuming headache. If you are spending a considerable amount of money on a boat you might want to consider having it surveyed by a qualified marine surveyor. I stress qualified because at this time anyone can call themselves a marine surveyor. Ask at the local marina for a recommendation and make sure that they are a member of either, or both, of the marine surveyor associations. You can call the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors – SAMS and they can recommend a surveyor in your area. Become A Boat Detective

Take a small rubber or phenol hammer and lightly tap the hull moving around the boat. If you hear voids in the fiberglass, that could be a problem of repairs, blisters, or delamination.

Allison Meier (January 8, 2014). "Blue Holes: A Descent into the World's Hidden Waters". Atlas Obscura. Before you read about how to install a water butt, it’s important to have an idea of what water butt you intend to install. Different water butts will require a different installation technique depending on their design. We explain all these options in step four below. Regardless of your repair approach, you’ll need to clean the pipe first. Mylroie, J. E., Carew, J. L., and Moore, A. I., (1995), Blue Holes: Definition and Genesis: Carbonates and Evaporites, v. 10, no. 2, p. 225.Step 2 – Once dry, you can clear the debris from the hole.
