Very nice Mrs Jeepers  8)

When your finished there, I've got a timber floor to be laid  ;D

She hand sanded our lounge and bedroom timber floors and did the stain bit too after pulling the carpet up.

Not me.... but Astrid.

The only things i've ever made with wood looked worse than Homer Simpson's spice rack.

She is currently building a robe and combined desk unit for the third bedroom.

This is the sort of work she's been doing so far.

The work is square.... my phone camera makes it look like the house of mirrors.
That’s some excellent work, right there…

Thought it might be time to brag about my new shed I have had erected on my new country estate. Inside is 10m X 9 m with a 3.6m awning. Will be my woodwork hangout to keep me off the streets. Power is part installed and should be completed next week. Should keep me happy for a while.

First job I have done is to put up a stud wall to put the power box and data points. It is hinged off the right hand side for access behind in case I need more power outlets run etc. It will be insulated as well eventually when funds allow. The roof is already insulated and in hindsight I should have done the walls too but it was already way over my budget so something had to give. Will eventually stud wall all around so I can hang cabinets and French cleats. Will be facing it with 12mm ply to be able to hang stuff off it. Got to have something to do whilst retired. 😎😎😁😁

It works out similar to insulation, framing and painting gyprock that my brother did. I'm hoping I only need 1 A/c powered by solar during the day to make dog house stayz pleasant. The roller doors are insulated shutters by a local company.

Cpl of nice looking sheds in there!! ive got a 20x40, plus 4 odd 3x3s dotted around the block and I could still use more... make half a big one a nice man cave rather then being so tool orientated I reckon. 

Anyway, got close to finishing my kids go kart that ive been making for him, just ordered rims, tyres, torque converter, drive chain plus a cpl of spare springs and I think im ready to finally finish it off for him as have all other bits. Looks simple but turns out when you start from scratch that there is a stack of parts in the damn thing.

Sometime ago I posted a triple livestock carrier I built which was commissioned by 2strokeit. Here it is gains the real thing. I need to make another 26 of them to match the real thing in length.

Just finished working with the concreter, doing levels and prepping the steel for the slab to go down in and around the man cave tomorrow, pour starting at 7:30 ...

Looking forward to being able to get the camper in and start working through the 12v issues with it left behind by the manufacturer....

Only been a 2 year project

The ol girl is building a box.

She says, it's just a small robe, which will have a desk attached to it.

It was laying down when i saw it..... it looks like a coffin.  ???

I'm starting to wonder if i've pissed her off...... nah.

On reflection, how the hell could i ever piss someone off.... yeah, must be a robe..... yeah... that's it.  :angel:
