Firstly: it appears I have lost a 16mm open-ended/ring spanner. But that's fair... I gained a Bosch(?) Impact Driver.

Seriously, if we can work out whose it is I'll arrange to get it to 'em. Mick or Adam can pick it up from Oberon or if 'tis Fletty's I'll bring it to Katoomba in the next few days and drop it off at Bretts.

Yup. After everyone left and we cleaned up a bit, we headed back to Katoomba to put some cleaning time into the house... and to catch up on our emails.

It would appear that we can expect at least two months before we get a phone, let alone an internet connection. What happened to satellite connects? The new place is already wired up and has a dish in place, so what has changed with Telstra that it's not even being offered to us as an option?

I expect that Skew is going to change the noise levels pretty soon....

Already done. Fired up the table saw & DC before leaving to rip down some of the pine for repairs to the old place. I'm a happy chappy.

Thanks to Mick, fletty and Adam for their time and goodies. It has taken a fair load off Skew's shoulders, I think.

Yes indeedy. And many thanks to you too, Brett, for your time today and in putting it altogether. You guys managed to tick all the boxes and although it ain't pretty I can now start using it as a workshop with a little sweat and organisation. I suspect that Adam's bench is gonna become a semi-permanent feature. I greatly appreciate everyones efforts today and don't know how to thank y'all enough.

This is true. I really, really really enjoyed making them!

Mate it was a pleasure. Don't forget that it was you that first helped me out for a day laying the new floor 5(?) years ago.

ID is definitely not Mick's, or mine, and Adam is Panasonic. Pretty sure it might be fletty's.

See, I toldja you enjoyed turning them!

Yeah, all the best telco kit ends up in Oberon. My phone has a grease nipple in the side.
