Hi all. I have been lurking for a while and decided to join up and start this thing. My Wife has decided she loves you guys because I am cleaning up my workshop with ideas from here!
I am a Fitter over here. Like an industrial mechanic or millwright. I usually work in Mining maintenance, but work a bit in chemical plants and power stations as well. I am seriously addicted to tools! Since I got my trade papers it has taken off. Luckily, my Wife understands as long as I don't leave a mess, and being able to fix or adapt nearly everything helps with the tool buying after she hears horror stories from her friends of house repairs gone wrong and massive bills for work done.
We have just moved into a new house, ~2400 of your square feet liveable area upstairs and the same downstairs as storage / laundry / carport / workshop. It is an old Queenslander style, and is likely ~100 years old so there is plenty of work for us to do. Here is a photo of her dressed up in preparation for a new roof.
I will get some photos of my work area over the next little bit. We are into fish, and are still in the unpacking things and setting up tanks stage of dealing with this so my workshop is a mess while we try and make space for things and put them away then use that space for the next thing etc. Fish tanks are the current mess, I will have a lot more room once they are in place, and my anxiety about not having enough room for all my stuff!
