Thanks mic, looking for a 6m shipping container to put in the back yard for timber storage now. Have my mate NCarcher (Tony) on the hunt for me. He hangs out up the valley where all the mines and industies are. That will just fee up the inside for machines and work.

6m you've got more wood than that

Mark just went over the photos again and I see that they are supplying dusty tube, wood off cuts storage tube and waste bins for pen blanks sizes. Some steel racking for long bits.

I like the fact they even supply two hoola hoops for you

[NCArcher]

They look to be Claw sized Hoola Hoops as well.
Good news about the shop
Shed warming party on the horizon

Yep, will have to crack a cold one or two after the move, lot of work ahead I see
Great to catch up today again Tony. We were very well behaved and only had the cuppa without the Anzacs or Christmas cake. Tony's given me some inspiration to loose some weight. Well maybe

[Claw Hama]

So a goodly amount of steel will be delivered on Monday to make some more security bars and modify some existing ones. I say to TH, "going to order steel for bars today" TH"what sort of steel?" me "ah round bar" TH " oh I don't like round it looks too much like a gail" (This is on a small window with a curtain that looks out over warehouse roof tops ans a panel over the front enry gate.) (Architects) me, "ok what sort wood you like" TH "flat steel". Ok, so Monday the flat bar arrives. The next question will be what shape heads on the bolts can I get. You just have to go with the flow. Monday sees the security guys in for some quotes on alrm systems and I go on the hunt for a cheap 6m shipping container. Few holes doesn't mater, aid ventilation Tony (NC archer) may still come through with this yet.

good luck lets see some photos...

CH containers with holes in roof if wooden floor not good if to much water gets in you have moisture/condensation issues. Then again spalting does look good on wood but wood rot is useless.

[Claw Hama]

No problem Ray, some of my best work over the last few years has been repairing said containers for the sports clubs around town. I often have to pop rivet and seal patches on the roof and walls of these and support the roof where hoons jump on them and then the water pools. Photos will follow once the work starts
