Shouldn't it be centred to avoid sway if used while mobile?!   >:D

In the shed making a pump cover that I was going to do in 2008, you can't rush these things.............

Then these guy's decided it was sundown and time to set up camp somewhere safe for the night.

For me it's been the last few days or weeks in the ladies domaine this time  as we decided to do a much needed spruce up on the bathroom, Here are a few before and now pics,  I got my little helper out of school for a few hours as he was keen to help,

Got the bathroom to a stage where the building is done, now to start fitting it out.

looks like the last lot of pictures didn't come along with the quote, sorry

Made a keyring holder out of an old Allen key set. Was bored after taking the boat out for a blat.

That's a nifty idea with the keys mate.

You should at least put a copy wright on it.

Garden shed has no power so set up some 12v LEDs. Had a spare 24 Amp/H battery so only needed some double sided tape.

Works well at minimum cost.

I sat on my mancave sofa (thanks M!) thinking through my imminent bonnet scoop and intercooler upgrade. Should I paint the scoop myself, or have a body shop do it..? Or should I just pay someone to do the whole job... Just kidding! But I am wondering about the paint - is there any aerosol type paint available that will last and stay looking good in the Aussie sun? Does anyone know where I can get 2pac aerosol paint from?

Spent yesterday arvo in my man cave drinking beer while consoling a mate who lost half of his man cave in a fire last weekend.
Then spent this afternoon up at his property sitting in whats left of his man cave discussing the grand rebuild and solving all of the worlds problems.


Beer...  Is there anything it can't do?

Beer cant settle women when they get grumpy after l have it on board  . Life is filled with little mystree s   :cheers:        ( My SWOMBO )

turned my trailer (1) upside down to do some work on it and make it sit a couple of inches higher when its back on its wheels.


Going to cut off the hangers, and weld in some 50x50x5mm box. this will give me some more clearance, make the trailer more level, and give the tyres more clearance when I have a big load in it.

nah thats childs play..

I wanna do the job properly..


ohh and the rear hangers need to be moved back a little as last year I had a full load of redgum on it, then went over some big bumps and one side locked down.

so I have the rear hangers a little too far forwards, so they have to be cut off and moved anyway. Might as well take the fronts off and raise the trailer up.

went and found out about how close I could build new shed to sewer line.

Turns out that sewer is concrete encased so with a little piering I should be able to build as close as I want to it  :cheers:
