All home brew stores sell them, you can make your own but you need to have the spare time.  If you get one be sure to read the instructions re discarding the initial output.  Of course I use mine to distil water for the coffee machine in the background...

Haven't been out to disprove this theory JC, but what I can tell you is that when I was about to put the last piece of the stereo cover back together I noticed 2 screws left over on the centre console...


So no no need for me to describe what happened next...

After which I got back on the tools and finished my masterpiece of engineering and ingenuity!!

Moved a few things around so the new carpet & underlay would cover the floor . So much nicer to have something soft under foot  :cup:

Tried to clean out and re-arrange mine yesterday, and found a whole lot of stuff to sell/get rid of... Tent, rooftop bag, lamp, coleman hotwater system etc..

Setup the Southern Cross tent for the first time in about 6-7years, and forgot how big their largest awning really is... Left it up for a few hours while doing other stuff.. Also forgot how stable the flaming thing is!

But humidity hit about 5003290823498230498203498023984029384023984098% by lunchtime, so everything but the tent just got thrown back inside the shed and left tent for a while..

Then hour or 2 later, it started spitting rain, so panic mode to pack up the tent and kicked the shizzle out of my big toe on the side of the door frame on the shed rushing inside... The rain lasted about 4 mins, and wouldn't have fully wet a postage stamp...

Now stumbling with a shagged trotter.

Cleaned her out and rearranged it in readiness for the TV that's on the way  :cup:.....intend to mount it on a swivel mount, that way I can watch the footy with the boys on the weekends, and also spin it around to catch the cricket over summer, all while still being able to tinker away on my bits and pieces.  :cup: :cup:

Yep......I have a tv in the garage sitting on top of the beer fridge and its awesome to be able to watch while doing shed stuff and also pulling out the camp chairs and watching sport and drinking beer with mates. Best idea I had when building was putting a tv antenna point in the garage.

Cheers Nomad.  :cheers:

X 2 for a TV in the shed. The only problem is that I tend to stand there and watch it, and never get to and finish whatever it is that I start..

Had a sheet of ABS plastic that work was going to throw away..........



Also had a vacant space between the front seats in the 70 series......



Cut the plastic to size, heated it in the oven and bent it to shape............



Glued it all together...................



Covered it with carpet and stuck it in place, hey presto....extra space to put stuff.
Total cost, $15.  ;D
