It's T34 with 72lbers
I'm not sure I'll go much further at the moment, I'm more into fixing the basics first, but it will definitely be having a live map with ALS etc once I've addressed its issues

i was about to ask why rainbird was visiting your house
plus, you'll have to do something about the state of the garden if you are going to be spending time with it out there in the rain fixing it when it breaks just when you need to use it
