After our return from our Cape Tour decided to air the CT & clean it up to make ready for the next trip .
Opened the Cub & QLD weather escaped & it RAINED & its COLD . Did l mention rain & cold ?
So l pushed the water out of the roof & decided to let it sit for a few more days to dry . Like that might happen soooooish .................................

Don't dump it  :o

Sorted through all my camping gear. Still like a cat on a hot tin roof since I ordered the camper.
Got lots of stuff to get rid of and lots of stuff to buy.  :D

I spent the afternoon trying to fit/stuff/rearrange 5 extra large bags of toys into the storage shelves. The missus gets tickets to the Mattel warehouse toy sale each year and buys up big for Christmas presents.

That said, it was productive as I found a cargo net I forgot I had that I can use in the rear of the Outback.

Is that the shed to put all the materials in to build the SHED??

With all that space, you need a bigger shed.

Ha tell me about it. Unfortunately the time and money that went into the space didn't leave much for the shed.

Not that I have a shed anymore.....

I cut long lengths of timber into shorter similar lengths of timber.   

Some timber I reverted back to wood.

I found the drop saw works quicker than the hand saw but can't work out how to get the drop saw to make those finer cuts for the timber joints so I got to enjoy and the hand saw.

Trying to make a stand for a piece of exercise equipment for the bride to use when getting down to floor level is easier than getting back up from floor level.  Most of the cutting is done and the rough fit out looked a bit like the rough sketch I did to work out what I may need. 

Hopefully tomorrow after visiting the blue or green shed for more timber (will have to be the right timber for those bits), a small router and the right screws and bolts it may be closer to being ready to be painted, stained or just estepoled.


Taking a while and still a work in progress.  Long story short.  Nineteen years ago the bride had 23cms of her right femur removed do to a cancerous tumor within the bone.  To reconstruct the femur donor bone, surgical steel plate and her fibula was used, leaving only her tibia untouched. As a result she was cut from ankle to hip, muscles reconnected as best they could and extensive nerve damage.  While there was initial extensive physiotherapy to walk again, there has also been ongoing and continual physio and other medical and remedial work. 

However nothing is ever that easy.  Next month we go back to see the Orthopedic Specialist for future possible surgery on the knee and ligaments.  For this reason our physio is trying to strengthen the leg.  To make it easier we bought a cheap pilates reformer and built a frame to sit it on to make it easier for Jan to get on and off and ultimately use.  The bench only raised it by 38cm but makes a lot of difference in use.  The large uprights will have a pulley system to further exercise her leg as it strengthens.  That's the plan anyhow.

Not in the shed as such, but I spent half of yesterday and most of this morning hand digging a trench so that I can finally run power to the shed. Next weekend I'll hopefully run all the wires to the shed and inside of it, then I'll get a mate to come around after that sometime to wire it all up for me  8)

I cut the rust out of an old Holden.
Pretty sure I got it all.
Here's a bit of inspiration for you Shane.

Ya gotta love 80 life :)
Went to start the old girl this morning, not even a dash light came on.
Multi-meter out, yep start battery cactus.
Go to start from the Aux battery, not even a flicker of life, but the accessories all work(Which are wired to it, UHF, USB Ports, Fridge).
Double check with mulit meter, :) She's all good. Hmmm.
Figured it out after ten minutes, the Red Arc is rooted.
Put the Start battery on charge, four hours later she is still only 10.2V, Swap batteries, she starts first kick :)
So the Start battery is cactus,  check the warranty, 1 month of warranty left on it :) bonus.
While mucking around with the Spot lights, I notice the passenger side High Beam is dead :(
They reckon sh1te happens in three's.
So it's pulled out and a trip to the wreckers is on the cards tomorrow for another light.
While I'm in town, new Battery, New Red Arc  ;D
Beer time now and Footy.

So I've added this to my garage for reasons I'm not fully sure why?



2 owner deceased estate XF Ghia. Was first offered to me 2.5 years ago and came up for sale last week.  The price kinda made it attractive. Pretty original and untouched, a trip over a speed hump confirmed it has the original suspension bushes....

discovered that if you place 39 cans of VB in to an Engal  , when you get to the last can you may or may not be over .05 . This would render you unable to drive to the Bottle Shop to purchase more  .
Its a long walk home  .  :cheers:
