Thank you my friend, I've had quite a few wordless conversations just staring and hugging. I can't imagine your loss of forty years, 12 was hard enough. It's just cruel. The girls are my world now, just need to do right by them.

Thanks Mate, they string lined it and then used a nibbler. Worked a treat but I think a better finish would have been achieved cutting it on the ground. Mostly unseen inside due to the insulation shrouding the cuts.

I don't know how I'm navigating this world working full time with a 3 & 1 year old at daycare but here I am blundering through it. Daycare drop off/pick up either side of 10 hour shifts is a slog but 3 day weekends with them are worth it. I'm sure when my oldies finish painting their house and...

Dusted off some of my timber tools and put together a semi permanent deck/floor for the annex to arrive. Turned out pretty damn good. They've doubled their space, even used carpet tiles and they have a bit of a loungeroom. They're also in the middle of emptying their house of 30 years this...

After Sashy passed, my Dad immediately retired and asked if him and Mum could move into my backyard to help out for the foreseeable future. They said they've looked after my sister for 42 years and never had to worry about me so now it's now my turn. They purchased this big *** van and after...

On a more sombre note, I love this place alot so I thought I would share. On the 6th January for the first time in 12 years I didn't get a good morning text, after some missed phone calls I rushed home from work and found that my beautiful Wife Sasha didn't wake up. She was in bed with both our...

I'll let the pictures do the talking. The day the build was finished my wife said "Should have went bigger" ahhh such a bad influence she was. This is why I have 6 motorcycles. Ha.

Bit of an upgrade of 753 Sq/ft up from my 350 Sq/ft internal garage, Gitzy's Garage 1.0 https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/gitzys-garage.500637/ I decided to use some of my redundancy payout from my work of 18 years and fund building my 2.0 happy place. I admit I'm preparing for two...

So the weekend I took ownership of the Grom I took it to my oldies. Told my Dad take this for a spin. He loved it and the very next day found one on marketplace locally. Same model/year/colour that funnily enough came from the same dealership. Mine has 5000kms and his has 3000km. So they hadn't...

Started gathering some parts to make it my own. Frankie likes slow safe rides up the street.

Been a while since an update. My neighbour asked me to take some pics of his Honda Grom and post it at my work with 30 apprentices. Someone might want it. I grabbed my camera then he said hey grab your helmet and go for a spin. Well played. Now i have a mini bike to play with. For anyone...

Picked up a new roller seat today, heavy duty little thing. It's comfy and sturdy.

Our trusty 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander died a few weeks back. Was a great car for 11 years, the transmission bit the dust and wasn't worth fixing for the prices quoted. So we picked up a new 2023 Outlander, it's like a spaceship compared to the old one. Don't worry, we do fit in it, we are just...

We've got a front loungeroom we almost never step foot in so it sometimes gets forgotten about, anyway I've got a few bike magazines I've collected over the years and I've been punishing this poor shelf and bending the shelves for years so I thought make a stronger one. You just can't beat free...

I've set myself up to do a bit of gaming of some old games I played in my youth, it's been fun. I was using my gas lift barstool but sadly I'm a bit fat and it just sinks after a few minutes. So I thought hey make one with a forklift/tractor seat. I tapered the legs out and used some...
