What dimensions ?

At a guess about 18x10x6 internally with a internal wall tying it together aswell.

I know there are a few tradesmen on here so one of ye may be able to help me. We have a large block and plastered water tank here that holds about 7000 gallons built 60-70 years ago. It has a hairline crack in it about 4ft up along the length of a course of blocks and losing a good bit of water when full if you can get it full. Crack only came in it in the last few years and is getting longer all the time. What would be the best way to go about sealing it again? Coming under a bit of pressure the last few weeks.

That tank owes you nothing after 60 - 70 years, knock it and build again.

You could chase it out and replaster the crack.
You could try a tube of tech7 as well, squeeze it in as best you can into the crack and smather any of the excess around the crack on the inside and outside. It's great tack and an easy way out of it

Replastering the last resort really. The auld fella wants to put torch on felt over it. Not sure if that would work either.

Get onto the lads that built it!

I assume by the torch on, you're talking about emptying it and sealing from inside?

How about buying a bladder for it? Either that or a sheet of pit cover pushed into it and fill with water. Does the water exit the bottom?

If it isn't riddled with cracks a tube of tech7 is what I would use . It really is good stuff to seal crack, its only about 13 euros and you could do it yourself easily i

Ya it will have to be emptied. Its due to be cleaned out anyway. Too much pressure to seal from the outside I'd imagine.

Struggling myself atm, finding it too warm to sleep and waking early. Nowhere near my normal head hits the pillow and only herself hitting me on the head with the alarm clock waking me in the morning.

Don't worry - as they get older, the sleeplessness tranfers go you:. At that age, you might be getting a touch of it already

I dont get much sleep and like the bit I get. I think it's a cross of not having football for a week or so and getting up later, so I am waking her earlier. She will sleep no problem in our bed :rolleyes: Normally around midnight I get the wake up visit

Kango out the crack to a v shape, stick shell wet seal and fix in it (more flexible than tec 7). Maybe set a h iron either side of tank and brace overhead to prevent further movement.

There is a product called Sika Flex expansion joint filler. Sika is the company name. It's normally used for the expansion joijnts on silo walls and floors. It comes in a tube like tec7. Use it on the crack, its flexible and watertight. Then use a bitumen based paint 300mm either side of the crack line.

I haven't slept properly since this heatwave began even with the windows wide open at night its too warm. I'm ok when back home in NCD as I have a ceiling fan in the bedroom that I leave running during the night.

My routine at the moment is to get up between 4-5am, work until it gets too warm which is around 11-12, head indoors for lunch then back to bed for a siesta in the afternoon and try to sleep for a few hours, go back out to the yard at 6ish and work until 10-11pm.

At this stage I would love to go on a holiday to the Arctic so I can feel how nice it is to snuggle under a eider down duvet and sleep in a cold bedroom

Ultimately I think Galway will win it, but I think Cork will have a big say in this championship with their pace up front in the open spaces of Croke Park. Their fefence will cough up too much to that Galway forward line though I think.

Cork are a bit too far back in the physicality stakes I think. Galway seem to have it all at the minute, hurling speed and power.

Galway have some bench too. Reading an article yesterday about the polish guy training them. They're strong but not bulked up. They'll take some beating alright. Whelan is some player.

If ye are struggling with sleeping in the heat, try leaving blinds closed in the house during the day. It's what the french/Spanish/Italians do in hot weather. Either have blinds or shutters closed, has made a big difference for me.

I don't think Kilkenny have the forwards to win an all ireland at the moment, way over dependent on tj to carry them every game. In fairness Richie Hogan probably not far away today and his radar will come good again but the rest don't offer much. Thought the ref was very kind to them today, the steps rule seems to be irrelevant if you are a kk forward.

To be honest he is known in the county here as a ref who favours those with big reputations in local championships.

I think that Kilkenny could struggle against Limerick next Weekend. Limerick are a big physical team after a 3 week lay off with a warm up yesterday. While they might struggle with not having a compeditive game in three weeks, they should have the legs on Kilkenny at the end. Limerick always preform well against Kilkenny and Tipp. Not sure if they will win it but I think they will be there in the last five minutes.

I know I was fairly bullish on road racing before but it would make you wonder now if it's gone to the stage now if it's worth it or not.

There's 3 members of the same family all wipped out now from road racing.

"Harley and the Davidsons" is up on YouTube for anyone interested in that sort of series.

It's about the setup of the Harley Davidson company as the title suggests.
