HelensvaleHoward Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 You need a wood burner, keeps us warm and costs next to nothing to run. It certainly makes these cold nights more comfortable.Cal x That sounds like something we can look into At least now we're buying the place we can do what we want to improve the house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JockinTas Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 It rained heavily during the night but it's sunny this morning and 5C. Got my husband chopping wood for the woodburner. He built a small garden wall and a barbecue for a farmer who paid him with a huge load of wood that will last this winter and well into next winter.

Bobj Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 It can't be cold. You live in Queensland, on the beautiful Gold Coast. Beautiful one day, perfect the next. Up in the Pioneer Valley a few years ago, the Marion (village near Mackay) sugar mill got an urgent message. They had to clear their crushing for a farmer to cut his cane before the frosts killed the cane. The mill duly processed the farmer's crop before frost set in on his property (-1.5 C). In 1956 there was snow on the Eungella Ranges, some 50 km west of Mackay... Just thought you might like to know these things, parley...:cute: BTW 26 C at 1 PM today and 'wall to wall' blue sky.

Haven worked and lived in a number of cold places I know it is all about humidity not temp. I have, as a result felt colder in WA than I have in the arctic or even Siberia at -40. A -25 in the arctic will not feel cold at all (unless on a snowmobile when the air bites the face). The only down I have experienced at extreme cold is not to think you can chill beer in it. Nope it just quickly freezes and then explodes. -40 is actually not that bad. Cold, but I would rather have -40 with zero humidity than 5 with high humidity.

I mentioned -11 C , I was working at Emmaville then, percussion drilling proving a big cassiterite deposit (Taronga Tin Exploration Site) The big boss was Dr. Ian Robertson, who was sent from that job, to start up the Telfer show, ca 1979.

Many thanks for that as it brought back some very good memories... Errr, in keeping with this thread of weather... The Newmont JV also drove three adits, I helped bog out 2 of these adits in the middle of winter; -7 C at 2 AM and using only hands, 'pelicans' and shovel, 3 of us were stripped down to shorts and boots. Amazing that we were sweating profusely and needed to come to the entrance every hour. About 90% of the bogging out was after normal 10 hour shifts. We also did a 24 hour shift as Newmont's funds were to be stopped and the job had to be finalised. Cheers, Bobj.
