Neffing Nefa valve

Well, the plumber has just finished, I hate to think how much it's going to cost, we first fixed the nefa (or ajax) valve washer, and he mentioned then that it might not be the problem due to the amount of rust and junk in the valve, anyway, taking the cheap option we reconnected everything, and turned the water on, well we had fountains coming out of the roof, so we replaced the nefa valve (@$109). Whilst he was working on that I dismantled the valve, it was gross, it's suppose to look like the little square in the middle!
At least the new one is a bit more maintainable, the washer cover is just a twist cap and it's nice and shiney!



The weather has turned slightly with a few drops of rain, but fingers crossed it will be OK for this afternoon.
I took the roller I made out of concrete and ATV tyres down into the paddock this morning to see if it would work, slowly but it did make a dent, until the wood frame started giving way, and since the truck is wider than the roller, I was making ruts with the truck wheels..The front end loader on the tractor should knock those over.
