Post #0070c - Shed site tidy up No. 2 continued - Part LXV No more pile of spoil, yay! Pretty dirty concrete though. Neat piles of sifted dirt ready to be spread once the bases of the downpipes are painted, one day… In this next photo it’s possible to see some of the smaller, typical...

Post #0070b - Shed site tidy up No. 2 continued - Part LXV Here’s the south-west corner of the shed pad nice and tidy. By this point we’d already added some more black plastic up against the side wings of the retaining wall to help with weed management. The capped pipe is for the ORG...

Post #0070a - Shed site tidy up No. 2 - Part LXV With the last of the drainage pipes installed, some tidying up was in order and necessary. We also did a similar exercise at the garage, but I won’t cover this as it’s much the same. This is what we started with. It’s not that bad, with most of...

@Geoff289 thanks for coming through. Like wow, that would have been a very nice XY GT and the best of the blues colours. Who can forget Chris Christou's burnout which he's reinacted many times at Summernats. I had a panel beater friend from Mackay in the early '80s and one of the cars he had...

@Coolabah yes, that was understood but I was thinking let's have a GJ members party! We have a few tough months ahead. Maybe that explains why I feel a bit on edge but we will get through it.

@hewey similar to the HQ wagon 202 six banger, column auto I took to Alice Springs. It was stolen from the work car park which was across the road from the police station. So, stolen by an indigenous 13 year old youth, then dumped, then stolen by a firm hauling a demountable school out to...

How about a photo over on your thread and the specs? Unless it's distressing reminiscing on the decision to sell. I wanted one so bad as a teenager and when I first starting working in Alice Springs after selling and leaving my XB GT in QLD.

@Coolabah it would be sooner but between selling three houses, packing up and moving our personal effects from Darwin, relocating eight cars from Tasmania, Western Australia and the Northern Territory plus a hoist, plus getting a new two-post hoist, setting up six Carcoons...Is this painting a...

@Mr onetwo that's a good hourly rate for dry, even wet hire. I was quoted AUD3000 per day (? might have even been more) and they would only do a full day or more.

@hewey we did a trip to Darwin recently. In three days we packed 57 tea chest size boxes and 9 book boxes for a first uplift. I did not leave the house, so did not get to see how it's changed in two years lol I don't think that's Jewel Green which is the factory metallic colour but it's still...

@hewey wait until you see the cladding paint colours. I have not gone for greyish tones because the shed floor will be a medium grey. Not bold colours by any means but two different colours were chosen to highlight the two areas (accommodation vs workshop) are used for different purposes...

Yes, for you guys you're heading into summer and it's time to do projects, bring classic cars out of hibernation, go fishing etc. They say those skid steers with the mulcher attachment make good money. My civil contractor had a CAT skidsteer and it was something like AUD280000 brand new. More...

That's a rare car. I don't mind that era's Trans Ams.

I ain't seen no one collect boom boxes before.

@D.F.B those stickers are way cool. They need to do something for Cub Cadet or maybe they have?

@Mr onetwo thanks for that and I appreciate the ongoing support. Been up to anything interesting?

@Geoff289 we can see the end in sight. Tiling and painting are up next.

Post #0069b - Construction work continues - Weatherboard cladding installation completed continued - Part LXIV Over at the workshop, the timber cladding was now finished. Just the last remaining section of the south wall of the mezzanine storage room was left to clad. Here a carpenter can be...

Post #0069a - Construction work continues - Weatherboard cladding installation completed - Part LXIV Back in update post #0062 I showed the start of the process to clad the exteriors of the accommodation model and workshop, including the mezzanine storage room above the workshop (see page 13...

@409425hp where would one purchase this from?
