A Shed Downunder.

[metalhead140]

Congratulations! Aiden, Amy and Andrew eh? Must be confusing when they get mail addressed to "A Surname"? Very good news.

 

[panthersteve]

Congratulations to you all.

I can't wait for my first to arrive, although I hope it is not late like this one as the due date is just 3 days after my birthday, 3 days early would be good

 

[matta5]

Congrats on the baby boy!

Our little man Aiden and proud Dad Andrew

We are just so chuffed at the moment and I have to say thank you one and all, we all truly humbled...


Just to give you a little back ground in to his middle name as it carries special significance to the familly.

Robert Henry ( Aiden's great great uncle ) was killed on the battle fields in WW1 25/10/1917 at Passchendaele.

My Dad is Robert Bruce.

Then there is me Stephen Robert

Then Andrew Robert

Now Aiden Robert


PS, I received Andrews call at work letting us know early this morning, so I cleared the desk, put the Out of Office on, rearranged some meetings and then said to my boss " see you in a weeks time" as I had already pre warned him that I would be taking some leave when he was born...

Thank you one and all, have a great day...

 

[rmalkow2]

Adding my congrats to the list 1/2Cup. He looks like a healthy little guy. You and your family are blessed.

 

[HOTFR8]

I want a job with 1/2Cup.

[drivesitfar]

HotFr8: i do to, but i'm guessing he's paid his dues.

1/2: we are all jealous about your job, but maybe more so that you have another Shed mate to keep you young as you get NOT SO YOUNG.

he's a looker and looks like a proud dad too.

cheers and enjoy your week maybe just holding #3 and playing with #1.

http://www.g-mwater.com.au/careers/positions-vacant

We had our first cuddles and carries this afternoon, it was just so special for all of us. Both of them are just so exhausted and need a good nights sleep right now..

I am sure young Aiden is destined to become the next generation of GJ ers and I am positive that he will be mentored from the get go..

The message on my work phone is "don't call me this week, try again in a weeks time"

Congratulations Grandpa 1-1/2!

Good things seem to come in threes!

And congratulations to the family too!

Andy, Ándrew and I just wet young Aidens head so to speak. i don't think he will be that far out of bed to be honest..

Well at least I think I have HOTFR8

Does having a Seniors Card now qualify me for that??

Thanks so much every one..

[TwoBytes]

Looks like I'm late too!

Congratulations Steve

 

[bolensboneyard]

Well I guess you know I'm late. Congratulations Steve! Having just had my first great grand I can tell you that the joy never ends. So happy also with every story I hear about someone that honors their family history. I was mostly raised by my grandmother and learned to see the wisdom in that. I hope none of your family was anywhere near the earth quake area. Best wishes. Bobby

 

[tweidman]

I'm not sure how I missed this... congrats.
You are now Grand Cup.

Lyndon, thank you..

Mrs 1/2 Cup is still scratching around like a mother hen as Grandmothers do.

Just kicking back this week to be honest, still there is a few jobs to get out of the way which is a bonus..

Lyndon's not the only one late to the party. Well be proud Grampa. Congratulations all the way around as Grizz said. Now go enjoy your week off and newest addition to your Church family.

Dan thank you

I will be just going with the flow, as you do.

Looks like I'm late too!

Congratulations Steve

I always wanted to do Engineering.

Does having a Seniors Card now qualify me for that??

So you are a card carrier.

Make the most of the week off.

 

[gazza]

Congratulations Stephen to all of your family, from another grandfather with 3 grandsons that are just a bit older.
I missed your post yesterday by about 6 minutes, logged on still no news on the new grandson, and then 6 minutes later you posted the great news.

On another note you have broken a major milestone and you may not even know it, in the "Garage Gallery" overall replies thread count you are currently the second highest.
Whilst I feel that Thomas's thread is undoubtedly the ultimate thread here, its great to be number 2.
cheers

 

[Growlertdi]

What a great time to get through this entire thread..

Congratulations on the new addition to the family!

its been an adventure reading all about your shed down under these past few days.

Looking forward to the future.

 

[slimpickins]

1/2 Cup, your cup RUNNETH OVER!
A belated congrats from Canada eh!
Wishing you the best and to enjoy your week off that will be far far far too short!

Cheers!

Engineering is always a good career to get into be that Mechanical or electrical.

Yep, I have to fess up to being a card carrier...

I have been doing some finishing touches to the West Wing and detailing the garden as the Property Manager type person is coming to take a heap of pictures on Friday.

The airconditioner gets installed tomorrow, so it will be nice to be there while it gets installed. I do have a bit of electrics to do on it as well..

I happened all so quickly yesterday, we are all over the moon..

Unreal, thanks for pointing that out. The thread just keeps rolling on, it just proves how addictive the GJ can be.. I wouldn't have it any other way..

Slim, thank you..

I have been getting stuck into the West Wing today... detail, detail and some..


All, young Aiden, Amy and Andrew have all had a good nights sleep and apart from a bit of wind that the baby whisperer ( Mrs 1/2 Cup ) got under control this afternoon, all is well..

Have a good one and thank you one and all.................yet again..

 

[Growlertdi]

yeah, I have been soaking up quite a few of the longer threads, yours, Quaker road, BB767, sakurama, HD FLHX, Red Jess and the Scooter garage etc..

its been an elightening journey for sure..

this past weekend, I cleaned out the gutters on my 28x32 detached pole barn. I think I removed a half a dozen trees from the buildup... oops. oh well, gotta start somewhere.

Thanks for the welcome!

Growlertdi there is just so much inspirational content on the GJ

Thanks for reminding me , I do have to give my gutters a clean out as well.

You should start a thread of your own, looking forward to following along..

Thank you again..

 

[1/2 Cup]

All,

Now that the dust has settled with young Aiden's birth..

Its time to get moving on the West Wings out doors and garden. First cab off the rank is the decking.
No hand rail, no steps and in need of a good clean and oil up..

It looks pretty below par.

Á trip to our big box store Bunnings yesterday morning I picked up some powder coated modular aluminium fencing and a set of treated pine steps and four hours later..


View media item 65200
They had some solar post top lights which add a little character.

Still a work in progress...

Have a great day...

Congrats to you and your family

1/2 Nice job on the handrails! Looks real pretty, above par. But I think you wasted your money on the steps, they hardly show up at all.

And I think I found my missing DeWalt screw gun, I see it there on the ground. I'd come get it but sometimes it seems like we live half a world away. Would it be much trouble for you to post it to me?

A Work in Progress...

I will whack the steps in today, I have just picked up a couple of concrete pavers to sit them on this morning..

I need to hit it with the pressure wash and oil the deck and I still have to replace the base board that's missing. I clean forgot to pick up the timber last trip, any way another outing is on the cards to the big box store today.

I wounder who kindly left the Dewalt screw gun here..

Local pick up only sorry..

The airconditioning guys just starting in the West Wing

Have a good one..

 

[rmalkow2]

Nice work. that railing alone really adds character (and safety) to the deck.

 

[1/2 Cup]

Nice work. that railing alone really adds character (and safety) to the deck.

rmalkow, thank you

That safety aspect is what prompted us to do it, its 18" up and had no step.

An accident waiting to happen..

Three steps up and three steps down..

Now for a quick trip out to the big box store to pick up a new base board.

Then down to the hospital with Dad to see young Aiden


Have a good one..

 

[oldironfarmer]

Three steps up, three steps down, no wonder you never make any progress

Nice steps and railing work!

Congrats on grand baby number 3!

Thank you Sub

Amy and young Aiden are doing well, still in hospital at this point and may be home tomorrow...
