Ahh ! Not so simple grasshopper ! Yeh , well Bob spent some time downunder so ( for sure!) he will back me up on this one. Off topic but I am surprised Bob hasn't yet recounted his close brush with one of the Drop Bears that used to live in Coonara Avenue at IBM where he worked. They've moved...

I don't understand why it's usually "us old guys" saying this stuff. Although , of course despite my age , I am not an old guy - I keep telling myself that (even though I say "this stuff" too ) :yikes: Seriously though , I guess some of us grew up in the post or post post WW2 times where...

Finally ! I REALLY get it , this drafting/council etc stuff all takes time and money and headaches :( , bet you and the missus are pleased as punch to be at this stage. Let the games begin ! Serious offer - I still have mates from school in Canberra that I irregularly visit , let me know if...

You do realise you just jinxed yourself ? 😱

Well , whether you like him or his politics ( or not) the polly who said "life wasn't meant to be easy" surely meant to say "life wasn't meant to be so hard' in your case. Sounds like a rough time mate, hopefully- it sounds like you're on the up and up :)

I would love to show my wife these posts to prove I should never have sold some of my cars that were " taking up too much space, you don't drive them much ". But, I am actually not that stupid ! Yeh , the stuff you sell at the time is what it is, who knows if you didn't sell at the time the...

I know, right ? A can of beer is around ~60mm diameter, pretty sure you could have cut 10 mm off that table and still be OK for balance. No idea where that 50mm idea came from- did you measure twice ? :)

NIce try at fooling us Grizz. Pretty sure the "after" pic is not the same deck. Impossible. I wasn't born yesterday ! All jokes aside , that looks AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ! Yes, I was not actually angling for an invite of course, just wanted to plant the PARTY idea in your head with a bit of added jest. A good shed needs a good party , a GREAT shed needs a GREAT party ! Indeed, sounds like you are still going to be WAY busy for some time now. I'm just...

OK, just a question , no pressure ( but pretty sure you will have both Aussies travelling, and worldwide flying to Australia). ... .... ....... ......... So , when's The Housewarming Shed Party , and will you have other beers apart from XXXX on tap ? Inquiring minds want to know. Just asking...

I know, right ? Pure talent is as pure talent does !! :love:

I looked at self build electronics kinda things years ago as a fun project but never acted on any of my ideas as I saw a cheap tank guage and thought I'd try that as a stop-gap measure ("Rain Harvesting" brand tank guage , around $26 from the big green hardware store )- on a couple of my tanks...

So- are you planning to have a way to monitor how full your tanks are ( rhetorical question , I KNOW you do :) ) Details please !!

OOhhh !!!! I like this too much to just click the "like" button. Gonna try this out ASAP- thanks !!! Question 1: does it have any sort of shelf life or do you normally just mix what you want to use at the time ? Question 2: so the obviously acidic citric acid will react with the alkaline salts (...

( I added my numbers 'cos I'm too lazy too figure out the right way ???) 1) yep, been there ! We don't have a spray booth , if we did we would both have exceptional results. Flawless I say !! 2) What works for me is getting a new single edged razor blade , round the 2 corners off on a sanding...

Rian , I have no idea how you manage to include everything you do in this thread, then post photos , and videos, and still manage to actually get any sleep ! If I may be so bold, and with all due respect- all good as long as YOU are still having fun !!!

Terrick hasn't been around the last 18 months or so from what I can gather- do you know if he is OK or just too busy with life outside of GJ ?? ( yes I know, impossible, right ?? !)

Now, when I hear the word "hoarding" it truly sends a shiver down my spine. Hoarding- bad. Keeping important stuff- good I've watched a few episodes of (I think its called?) "Swedish Death Cleaning" and yes there is a point to culling stuff. My better half insists on her philosophy of " if you...

Me too ! I have bursts of enthusiasm , then the moment I turn my back and finish some other project I'm back to square one. It's like inorganic weeds. :(

Ha- I ask you , who would have known that all those hours spent as kids making cubbies, fortresses and racecars out of old cardboard boxes would come so much in handy now ? Looking great , love the progress !!
