New Water Pump.

I decided that as we have so much excess solar power I would be better off with an electric water pump to pump water from our lower collection 5000 gallon cement water tank to our upper house feed tank than the petrol fire pump we have been using. Survival wise we will probably always have 240 volt solar power, but we may not always have fuel!
So I purchased an electric water pump with what fittings I needed, & my wife came up with the idea of using a storage container to keep it in.

Power lead goes a short distance underground through some spare water pipe that I had & up into the power shed.

My Grind Stone, From Electric To Treadle.

I had this old electric grindstone, but it had no power. So I set about stripping it down & attaching it to an old Singer sewing machine treadle base. 

Stripped out the electric motor.

Took the belt pulley off the Singer sewing machine.

Had to make up some shims to fit the sewing machine pulley to the grinder.

Screwed the grinder to a new floor I fitted to the sewing machine base top.

Finished.
