Thanks ...........Yep, found plenty of the aluminiun ducting, but what I was after was 100mm collapsable polypropylene with a wire reinforcing that can get put out a window when used, and then pulled back inside next to drier.
Pacific Air supplies this stuff in the kit I bought. Going to email them to see if they can supply the ducting only.
Most / all ducting is like tinfoil that is not designed for being chucked around.
Should be a couple of years before I have to do this again.

In their products is a PVC based ducting that is wire reinforced.

This is the only stuff I found, which is what I bought at Bunnings for $10 less ........... https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2551610...CQPVD6&hash=item3b68c9577c:g:yHIAAOSwZVlXt0eF

Spoon-feed me, please.
The stuff I was thinking of was black. I had a search and turns out it is PVC coated on the outside but aluminium inside. More robust but might not suit what you want. I thought it was entirely pvc with wire reinforcement.

As for finding it at Hammerbarn, you can get a free app now. Get the item number of what you want and search each store for it.

She comes out to inspect the project, has a look around the garage walls and shelving, and starts asking questions about how I could organise it better so She can move some boxes from inside the house to the garage.............. :rolleyes:
So, during the last week I have been re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic, under supervision, and found stuff that I knew I had but couldn't find, and stuff I didn't remember having. Not finished yet.

About a month ago, I bought an unpainted sheet metal Rory / Holden badge about 450mm in diameter.
A few coats of red paint ( She liked the initial bright red, but I wasn't happy with that ) until I got the desired red/burgundy sort of colour that used to be on the dealership buildings.
Today I hung it on the wall, and She came out to see what I was hammering ( the big picture hook ) and said that it looked good.
I kept adjusting the position, a bit at a time which She didn't understand.
I explained that the point of Rory's ear had to be a couple of minutes past 12 o'clock.
She wandered off, saying that it didn't matter. ................. but I think it did. Things have to be 'right' ....... :)

:rolleyes: ........ OK ............ challenge accepted ...........me posting photos is very much occasional hit, and a lot of misses. ( some of my attempts at resizing result in the image disappearing into the lone sock drawer of my computer :confused: ) .......... may have to request younger generation assistance this weekend.

Take the screen shot or photo.

Turn the screen to the opposite orientation.

Edit. Crop. Drag the edges of the image in to clip out the junk.

Now you have a smaller file size to post.
