    Default Vans and Crays

    Hello Neil
    Yes, I could ask them to move the van for a day or two, but like most tradies in WA, they could nominate a day for the earthworks, not turn up, organise for the next day, but they start late and soon enough it drags out for a week or two for the earthworks, then the laying of the slab, then the removal of the formwork. I will wait

    You should be here in WA, the Best cray season I think we have ever had. I bag out in 10 minutes diving. Even Windy is bagging out

    Sigh. I really miss the hunting in WA; it almost made up for the sand, the wind and the Poms.

    However, in accordance with forum rules: no photo so it didn't happen!

    Default Why does willy need a new shed?

    Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,
    I have outgrown my current workshop. It has the following dimensions: 1800mm x 3500mm and contains the following machinary:
    1. The mighty Durden Topturn series 400 lathe
    2. The portable Jet VSD mini lathe
    3. The 18" Jet Bandsaw
    4. 2 x Grinders (Vicmarc Grinding system)
    5. Triton Superjaws (for burl carving)
    6. 4m worth of wood racks
    7. Aaaaand lastly 1.4 cubic metres of sawdust
    8. A sulu bin for sawdust

    Its a bit dusty at the moment!
    My wood turning area is a small cubicle within a standard double garage.

    thanks,
    Willy

    That'll lessen the stuff to move

    Looks a bit like my own shed; only slightly better organized and considerably less cluttered

    What happened to the little Delta lathe that used to sit where the Jet is now?

    No matter what size shed you've got it will NEVER be big enough. I once rented a small factory, thinking I'll never fill it, going from a 9 X 6 metre garage at home, 18 months later I'm looking at renting the on next door as well.

    So where does the ~50t of choice timber from the sandpit firewood piles go? Hope you can save it before the developer burns it all

    I reckon we done alright from that sandpit. I estimate well over a 100 trailers of firewood, dozens of trailers of turning wood and I know I got a couple of ton of burl.
    I am still trying to maintain access though
    Cheers

    Default Enough Chit Chat

    Well, getting things back on track now. First, I have had a bore sunk down 23 meters, next week the bore dude will come back and plumb it all in. This is for garden retic to water the 2300 sqm block

    The house is currently rented out and the lady tenant had her parents staying for Christmas and they left today. The caravan was blocking the double driveway required for access to the shed area of the block, similar to a battle axe block.

    Anyhoo, I spoke to the concretor, he will deliver the sand over the weekend and then commence Concreting Operations Monday / Tuesday. I would like to take some time off work to rubberneck, but am flat out.Hopefully will get down there after work for some piccies.
    Then I will have to get serious about a bricky, anyone looking for work in Secret Harbour?
    Cheers

    Default Not a good start

    Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen
    Well things are happening, but I am not full of confidence.

    1. Concretor tells me sand for the pad will be delivered Sunday. I tell him to let me a time so I can be there, sand gets dumped in the driveway. I get a phonecall from the tenant, who isn't blocked in, but she was surprised where they dumped it. They wiil have to move it, to get access to the rest of the block. Not a good start.

    2. I am sure I paid for sand. I expected brickies sand, not someone else's left over fill.

    I would like to keeep a closer eye on things, but can't spare the time from work
