Diagnosing a hard-to-spot overheat issue via the traditional means: cheapest and easiest repairs first.

Put a new rad cap on last week but still had trouble stop-and-going through town after spending long enough running around, so now we're on to a thermo replacement. Hopefully this does it, or a flush if not. I might burp the system as well... but it never really got low om fluid, so I don't think it'll matter.

Worst case I'm back inside the guts with a new water pump, but my last one is only 20k miles old or so and an Aisin with an airplane and fel-pro gasket combo at that (and I'm not seeing any crust from a weephole drippping on the hot engine).

Hopefully my issue isn't any more involved than a little spilled coolant and a few bolts. We shall see.

Redback Pest Control Brisbane

The perfect weather conditions have paved the way for an infestation of redback spiders in Brisbane homes. These deadly spiders have been found in outdoor furniture, sheds and mailboxes.

These black spiders with a distinct red/orange stripe on their abdomen pack a lethal punch. Their bites can cause vomiting, sweating and muscle weakness. To know more about Redback Pest Control , visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.

There are several early warning signs that a pest infestation is in progress. One of the most obvious is droppings, which are usually sticky or greasy. Another sign is footprints, which tend to resemble smears rather than defined lines. If you notice any of these in a work area, it’s important to react promptly.

Redback spiders are opportunistic predators that eat insects, lizards, and other small animals that become trapped in their webs. They are also fond of eating flies, mosquitoes, and other blood-sucking creatures. Their bites are painful and may lead to nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and sweating.

While no one has died from a redback spider bite since 1979, they do pose a threat to humans and should be treated with care. The best way to identify a redback spider is to look for a distinctive black body with a red stripe on the back of its abdomen. These spiders prefer to hide in outdoor furniture, crevices, and playground equipment.

Redback spiders have become common in urban areas due to the shelter provided by sheds, garden furniture and other debris. Their venom is highly dangerous and although no one has died of a Redback bite since 1956 when antivenom became available, it can still cause serious health problems.

Bites from these venomous spiders can cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. If you see any redbacks on your property, it is important to contact a Brisbane pest control company right away.

Eliminating hiding spots is the best way to prevent an infestation. Make sure to clear any piles of sticks or leaves on your property and that you regularly clean out sheds, toilets and letterboxes. You can also install flyscreens and weather stripping on doors to minimise their entry into your home. If you do get bitten by a Redback spider, never try to suck out the venom as this can increase its spread to other parts of the body. Instead, use an ice pack on the affected area to reduce pain and blood flow.

If you are not careful, pests can cause structural damage to your property and pose serious health risks for the occupants. Regular inspections and timely pest control interventions can help prevent such problems before they escalate.

Redback spiders are dangerous because of their venom. They are able to ambush and overpower prey much larger than themselves, including humans. However, no one has ever died from a redback bite because anti-venom exists.

They can be easily recognised because they have a bright red stripe on their upper abdomen. They live in sheltered, dry places such as sheds, toilets and meter boxes.

You can prevent them from entering your home by regularly cleaning up outdoor areas, removing clutter and keeping vegetation and grass trimmed back. You should also check for any potential entry points and fix them immediately. In addition, you should eliminate any hiding spots for them like under garden beds, in outdoor furniture or under cornices and weepholes.

The redback spider is a dangerous venomous spider native to Australia. It is typically black or brown and has a distinctive red stripe on the back of its abdomen. If bitten, it can cause severe pain, muscle weakness and even death in rare cases. It is important to get medical attention immediately if bitten by this spider.

These spiders thrive in warmer climates and often move from outdoor spaces to indoor ones for shelter. They love dark, quiet and secluded places like sheds, garages, closets and basements. In order to prevent these spiders from moving indoors, Mr Yehia suggests cleaning gutters regularly and switching white outdoor lights for fluorescent ones. To know more about Redback Pest Control , visit the Bug Out Pest Solutions website or call 0426263320.

It is also a good idea to clear webs as soon as they form. This will stop the spiders from building their nests there and may even deter them from entering your home. If bitten by a redback spider, do not try to suck the bite out as this can increase the spread of the venom. Instead, a quick and effective way to deal with the bite is by applying an ice pack on the affected area.

Focused on water intrusion because water is the enemy. For these pocketing door systems we are going big on planning ahead. The thresholds have weep holes even though they are under deep eaves. We all know that wind driven rain is a MF. Custom stainless steel door pans shown here being test fit prior to powder coating. Piece by piece we take our job seriously. Building to last is why you hired us and we intend to meet that expectation. #stainlesssteel #powdercoating #weepholes #wateristheenemy #jovickbuiltnest #jovick #jovickbuilt #contractor #generalcontractor #construction #newconstruction #remodels #residential #commercial #home #homebuilding #homebuilder #customhomes #custom #leed #usgbc #earthadvantage #netzero #oregon #roguevalley #ashland #carpentry #finehomebuilding #homestead #homesteading (at Jacksonville, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEMUYampc-s/?igshid=skfyph5uo0iv

Easternight, the mind’s midwinter

I stood in the big field at the back of the house at the centre of all visible darkness

a brick of earth, a block of sky, there lay the world, wedged between its premise and its conclusion

some star let go a small sound on a thread.

almost midnight—I could feel the earth’s soaking darkness squeeze and fill its darkness everything spinning into the spasm of midnight

and for a moment, this high field unhorizoned hung upon nothing, barking for its owner

burial, widowed, moonless, seeping

docks, grass, small windflowers, weepholes, wires.

You can now see the shape of my front door and Bob is now building up the second floor which will be my new bedroom.

Technical Focus: Weepholes in brick

These are the gaps left between some of the bricks in the outside walls. They ventilate the wall cavity and allow water to drain from the cavity.

Adding an extension in a bushfire-prone area of Adelaide

Sadly, South Australia has a traumatic history of catastrophic bushfires. As a result, there are very clear rules and regulations in place when it comes to building in a bushfire prone area in suburban Adelaide, which are set out in Australian Standard (AS 3959).

In Adelaide and across South Australia, residential and commercial districts are classified as being in areas that are at general, medium or a high risk from bushfires. There are further classifications within these broad categories, known as bushfire attack levels (BAL), and these relate to how likely it is during a bushfire that a building will be exposed to direct flame, radiant heat or ember attack. These are:

BAL-LOW — very low risk

BAL-12.5 — low risk

BAL-19 — moderate risk

BAL-29 —high risk

BAL-40 — very high risk

BAL-FZ — extreme risk (Flame Zone)

You can contact the CFS for clarification if you are unsure of the BAL of your property.

Depending on which part of Adelaide your home is located in and its BAL classification, there are building criteria that must be adhered to if you are building a new home or adding an extension to your existing property.

Therefore, it is important to work with an experienced Adelaide home extension builder who understands the needs of homeowners building in bushfire-prone areas, and can provide solutions that will make your home more resistant to bushfires, should the worst happen.

A well-constructed home extension that is built with bushfire resistance measures in place can give you, your family and your possessions some greater protection in the event of a fire, as well as reducing the risks for those involved in rescue and emergency services, and the costs of the clean up afterwards.

How we can help you to ensure that your home extension is more bushfire resistant

As an experienced Adelaide home extension builder, Builders At Your Service can advise you about the requirements for building in a bushfire-prone area during the planning stages of your home extension, as well as employing building techniques and materials that will help to make any addition to your home more bushfire resistant.

Positioning a home extension It is important to take into consideration the location of any new extension to your house or business premises with regard to how close it is to any hazardous vegetation, and in which direction from the property any scrub or trees are located.

Any home extension in a bushfire-prone area also needs to provide sufficient room for emergency vehicles to manoeuvre, and easy access for firefighting crews. 


Bushfire resistant building techniques and materials One of the most important elements of any home extension built in a bushfire-prone area is putting measures in place to protect it from flying sparks and embers that can lead to ignition. For instance, ensuring that there are covers under any eaves, that wooden posts on decking or patios have metal shoes, and fly screens are made of metal and wire. 


In addition, flooring in a home extension should either be a concrete slab, a suspended concrete floor (if you are located on a sloping block) or, if there is a framed floor with space underneath, this should be protected with a non-combustible material on the underside.

The external walls of any home addition in a bushfire prone area of Adelaide should be either timber or steel framed with sarking installed, or have an external leaf of masonry, concrete or earth wall.

Windows should have a corrosion-resistant steel or bronze mesh screen, with a 2mm aperture, while external doors should have weather strips, and also be screened in corrosion-resistant steel or bronze mesh screen, with an aperture of 2mm. The same sort of screen should also be applied to vents and weepholes.

Roof coverings should be constructed from fibre-reinforced cement or metal sheets, with all gaps under corrugations sealed or protected by sarking, while any eaves or fascias should be sealed with a non-combustible material, as should vent pipes.

If you have a verandah or decking, or any sort of timber outdoor living space, then all posts and columns need to be constructed from non-combustible materials or, if they are timber, they need to be mounted on metal stirrups and have a clearance of at least 75mm above the ground.

PRO TIP: We came across this lanai during an inspection and fortunately the water had not migrated inside of the property. We were able to clear the weepholes using a wire coat hanger. Be sure to hose or pressure wash your lanai annually prior to storm season, making sure to blow out the weepholes.
