    It was a team effort but it felt great. Apparently if the ducklings don’t get to water quickly the don’t all survive the first few hours

    Is it worth a thick bead of sealant around the inside of those skin fittings before you nip them up? Can never have too much sealant! Nice work from John the Duck Whisperer.

    Hi James - what make of bit did you use to drill the skin fitting holes? Seen / heard various stories of hole cutters blunting and taking 3 - 4 cutters to get through the steel. Yours seemed to be crewing away nicely at the steel! BTW i'm an avid viewer of your vlogs (I was watching the asound proofing one earlier today!) Gone back to the this one becuase I remembered you putting the skin fittings in! Great reference material :-) Thanks

    Cheers for that Mike It was a 30mm bit for those particular fittings. They should have a bit of wiggle room as the nut tightens it anyway and then whack in a hefty portion of silicon to ensure it’s all sealed. Don’t over tighten too much either if you have a brass one Cheers

    It's the CRT who don't want the contents dumped in with the general 'household' waste. You can't put them in the Elsan tanks either, as you do with a standard cassette toilet.
