Wasn't the man shed, but on the house....removed and replaced the storm water pipes that goes from the house to the water tank. For some reason when i did it originally i put the leaf catcher up under the guttering, which is a right royal pain in the arse to get to and clean out....so today i removed that set up and have dropped it down lower where it is much easier and safer to reach  8)

We've got some parkland/bush/water across the road from our house. Went for a walk with the young bloke yesterday and noticed there were a few trees across the path, and bark and crap everywhere. Obviously my shire rates don't cover keeping the place tidy. Any excuse to get the chainsaw out so we went to work clearing it up and raked all the paths clean. Young bloke says to me 'this is like where the mountain bike riders ride'. So we 'may' have spent some more time making a single track, berms and ramp for him to ride on :)

Ripped all me annex poles out and colour coded them with heat shrink. Makes laying them out a whole lot easier. Also pulled out the screws and run a bit of anti sieze over them. With the new hot water shower all hocked up and  batteries charged we're ready to go out again. Happy happy joy joy. :laugh:

Cheers fellas for the comments.
Learnt alot doing these, thought they would be tricky, but having to start with the inner edge and working outwards really got the brain going.

Fixed up the LED Blinkers (had one with blinker inside not outside), changed boost gauge to 30psi, went to change pillar pod to from 3 to 2 pod, but didn't like it so put the bodged 3 pod back up.

Fitted the rest of the LED lights to roof pod, but they didn't fit ;(

Found globes for the gauges, changed em. Thought about rewinding the winch plasma back on but CBF.. too humid out there for fat ****s now.
Cleaned out car for next weekends Club Driver Training weekend.. My first as a trainer...

Went for test drive to check the lights etc, and happy

Made myself a trolley for the flash new MIG I got.



Now I know I could have bought 1 for $70, but wots the point of having a flash new MIG if ya aint gonna use it.



It cost me $30 for the 2 main rear 50 kg load wheels and 2 x 1/2" bolts to make the axles with, the rest was lying about in my way....  ;D

Just got to find some material to close the lower part in to keep welding stuff. No way I'm buying it.
Next, make a bike rack....
