Neighbour and his son helped me move the treadmill from the spare room back out to the garage. It was moved from the garage to the spare room 2 years ago and was never used. I can see a pattern forming here...
just imagine how much fitter and healthier you must be....

Shame, might have had a buyer for it!

If you moved it weekly you could get cardio and weights!

If it doesn't get used in the next 3 months it is going on the nature strip.

Careful setting precedent like that!

Had an old crappy drill sitting around with two battery packs dead. Also had an anderson plug I pulled off a dead UPS. At "huge cost to myself" I did the following...
Now works off a 12V battery but must remember why it sat around for so long...  It's still a crappy drill but now an operational crappy drill.

Please excuse the foot, too lazy to edit piccie

I have a really good Makita, but the batteries are rooted, so this looks like a way I can get a bit more use out of the old girl.

I am keen to see how you did this.

Tonight I modified my 2 x 1.00mtr Led light strips and made up an additional 4 x 50cm light strips to have in the camper, toolbox kitchen and annexe.

I have fitted merit plugs to all of them and some quick connect plugs at the light end, so the cable can be disconnected from the light.

I used clear heat shrink to hold some 10mm rare earth magnets onto the Ally channel so they will stock to the poles or camper. I am about to just on evilbay and grab another of these flood lights. I have one in cool white, this one is warm white.

I also popped around to Smartyingreens place to get some photos of his stone guard on his Cameron Camper. I am thinking of re-doing mine on the Challenge as I am not convinced that the protection I have is good enough for rocky roads. I am good mates with an alluminium fabricator and an upholster, and they both love beer and cash.... :cup: :cheers:

Fitted a Tekonsha P3 brake controller to the Triton
removed the cigarette lighter plug and put the harness through, will relocate the outlet later.

Got sick of my air hoses kicking around loose in the draws. So made a little carry bag that fits both hoses and gauge :)

That's really neat. If you send that to one of the camping mags you will probably win a prize. Nothing to lose. I like it.

I made it to be a loose fit (19cm across) so fits in very easy and made to stand up in my outback draws.
