[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 1968622, member: 81934"] Developments since I escalated the claims for my the last two payment to Mr."Kooky". He has til 13 June to respond to PayPal . PayPal have copies of my designs , my SMSs to and from Kooky since 17 May ( nominal start of his irrigation sys work ) and similar for my emails , and PDFs showing what I ended up with and the other issues . uuu Low and behold , Kooky showed up here after failing to call or email or sms me at since Monday and tried to talk me out of the PayPal disputes, he soon discovered that I wasn't a pushover and I informed him PayPal have copies of all my comms and documentation ( retired research princ engineer here who knows in projects to DOCUMENT EVERYTHING and keep everything in "writing") , so tried a different tact when I told him I was getting another "real" expert out to redo the entire backyard's irrigation = 20mm Mains Pressure PVC 4 out manifold ( parallel beds need parallel inlets and pressure reduction at each bed) , the strawberry "gutter beds" drainage and irrigation abortion , irrigation of natives in my 2 big beds , and the berry plants in pots and I had lost all faith in his capabilities , plus I was not impressed with his unreliability and how hard he was to contact by phone. Yep I [color=#FF0040]read the riot act [/color]to him and told him if I have pay someone to redo the work , then the money will come from him via PayPal . At this point he stopped trying to argue that I had not told him what he was installing wasn't right ( as he knows full well I've been unwavering in trying to get him to follow my designs , face to face , by email, by SMS on multiple occasions. Tried telling me some components were not in my mega tub, I've checked and some were missing , I'm guessing he's removed them to try make out I never supplied them - my detailed inventory of components bought proves otherwise - however I have no proof he's removed them ( so didn't make any accusations , maybe his lads took them out and they "accidentially" ended up inside his Ute Tool cabinet my mistake ( about $40 of 20mm PVC male pushon thread adapters & 2 x 20mm PVC globe valves , not worth the hassle , so I simply ordered replacements as a Pick&Collect Bunnings order since some C clamps, 19mm Tees, 19mm elbows , 19mm terminating plugs , and 19mm poly pipe is not needed since he's used 21m polypipe to make the SERIES pipe run to the 4 parallel beds ) .' I'll salvage the used 19mm poly fittings and pipe when he's finished , a job for my boxcutter blade. I explained to him components in hands the requirements at each parallelising 20mm PVC Tee to make sure he CLEARLY knew what when where .Showed him how it all joins up for one bed , a hands on assembly demonstration. ( Hardest part will be getting 19mm barbed tails into the 19mm polypipe ( getting an Antarctic Blast for the next few days - forecasters say high likelihood of snow as far north as Toowoomba Mountains , so snow in the Barrington Tops and maybe around blue Mountains for my area ). His problem. So he's promised to return on Monday to sort out the "mistakes" , I HAVE MADE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR he will not receive payment the time he puts in on Monday and he had better not let me down. I didn't tell him I have another local irrigator booked to inspect and quote on Thursday , I'll keep this visit and get him to check everything before I decide the course of action wrt the claims at PayPal. If Kooky is a no show on Monday , I'll give him 24 hrs to make good . If he fails , I'll tell him not to come back , I'm done being stuffed about by this man. Soil the strawberries are in is still damp despite them only some rain on Thursday. We are back to watering by hose in the backyard til everything is fixed. Minor mod to strawberry gutter beds : I've added an inline flow meter . I want to aim for a flow rate of 4 litres per 15mins ==> 2 L / 3.6m gutter per day ==> 300ml per plant per day mix . [img]https://i.postimg.cc/85CQN5mv/screenshot-285.png[/img] Each plant is in about 4.2 L of soil so I'm hoping 300ml will adequate and will keep their feet dry , strawberrys don't like contantly wet feet , water excludes oxygen from the soil and this stresses the plants and makes them sick and unproductive.
