    That’s shocking mate what the source water is doing to the cartridges. Looking forward to seeing the progress of ur cover/canopy for Graham 👍🏼👌🏼

    Hi Andy buy a lean too I’m sure you can find one about that size if not come off the wall use 4x2 on length and width spanning over every 600mm and use 4x4 for your posts should do the trick as for polycarbonate sheets there a bit pricey now

    Because of releasing sewage into the rivers, they have been putting extra chemicals into the water to kill bacteria in the pipes however you are drinking that as well.

    • @DerbyKoi
      @DerbyKoi  Před měsícem

      I dread to think what's in it that's why my drinking water goes through a filter as well.

    Andy, hope your knee feels better soon. 🙏🏻 Ooh a canopy will be real nice over your patio for sunshade, but also if it’s raining and warm out, you can all still enjoy sitting, eating & viewing the koi pond out there! 👍And that ninja smoker is real good! I can attest that wagyu burgers and chicken kabobs taste great from it! 😂😊❤

      Thanks Maureen hopefully my knee gets better so I can make a start on it. Maybe your brother would come and give me a hand 🤣 but it will be nice for sitting out by the pond.

    Hope your knee is felling better and not giving you too much discomfort until you get the knee replacement. That water filter was disgusting. Hard to believe so much crap is in the water and it not only impacts the fish but what is it doing to you, Graham and Bizley? Looking forward to seeing your upcoming canopy build. I do reasonably well when working with lumber but must admit I'm a measure multiple times guy and still screw up the cuts. 🤣 Hopefully you'll do better than I do.🙏🏻😂😂
