Ahhh,its all good but forget the 'sir' bit else you make me feel older than i am.The thanks really is afforded to you guys who helped me.I have enough to take with me & the work ahead in the old depot let alone cart & store whats been handed out.Was trying to upload interior pics before but have to read up about cropping the size to suit here.Normally not a problem but this time i took happy snaps with a phone pad.Pics are HUGE like the building.Example - Lounge 8.8M x 3.5m. 3xBedrooms - 4m x 3.2m.Kitchen/dining - 7.4m x 3.5m.Garage - 7.7m x 7.9m. Workshop - 11m x 7m. Anyways we see how maybe tomorrow. cheers gordo

Dave I may have underestimated the length of the trailer. Keep forgetting your gnome size it should tow well behind the push bike at least the panniers will keep the tools dry.


Gordon if a big tall bloke comes to your door during this week asking for that sheet of Poly it might be my son Mark.

Gday Ray. No worries.Better ring beforehand to make sure i`m home. cheers gordo

Hi Gordo, I happened upon your thread and may be able to help with this -- the cheapest and easiest way I have found to resize photos for the forums is to use the free program Google Picasa. Picasa organises all your photos and gives you free editing tools. One of the easiest to use is their "export" button. It opens a window-in-window with options - choose resize and set it to 800 pixels wide. Photos are still sharp and load up on the forums in a jiffy. More experienced forum admins may have better ways but that one works for me. just use Google to search for Picasa , download and install. It asks you which folders you want it to scan - so you do not have to have every photo in it if you do not want to.
Hope this helps

David

Hello David i`ll try that.The pics i took with my Asus 7" phonetab ended up being 2048 x 1536 (969kb)! I`m actually buying a new computer tomorrow so i`ll get the tecky to install while he`s building the unit.Besides i`m fed up with lifting the old dell 17" x 15" boat anchor around.Hopefully as a non-computer person i`ll be able to sort my photos easier than i have been able to.Thanks gordo

How you doing Gordon?

Gday Ray. Picked up a virus the day so not doing real well.Feel & look like a train wreck.Knew it would likely happen but brushed the thought off.Drizzling rain,humid & i was sweating just walking calmly through the City.Never expected humidity at the Quay but then i don`t venture to the big smoke often at all.Fotuneatly the symptoms abatted whilst at an Opera House concert & with a myriad of friends.Now its hit with a vengeance/aches/shivers/sweating.So i can see i`m going to be a week or two behind packing up.Too darn lethargic to even lift a tissue.Got a ex army desert jacket on hoping i can keep sweating it out.Sort of jacket you`d wear in Iceland.Anyways we`ll see how things go over the next few days popping pills & copious amounts of lemon & orange juice. gordo

Gee's Gordo thats not good at all, might have beeen that cold snap down Queenstown or the dramatic temp changes.

Get well soon. I wish I could come down and load all for you, I am well experienced moved over 16 times since a kid

And to cap things off Ray with all the 'downsizing' what do i do? Well the bedrooms down there need some furnishings don`t they so....i bought 3 different but period correct dressers which I showed Dave TTC the other day.You need beds too right? So three different styled ones to complement the dressers.Ones a 'ring-in' being a Willow Creek Cottage style but it works so i guess that`s fine.Bleeding heavy.HHogan would be impressed with it!! I forgot to show Dave but i picked up two original federation doors sans locks but having handles/dress plates at hand it was just a matter of visiting the BGShed for a couple of mortice locks.The doors are of standard measure & 1 5/16 thick.Bargain at $9.99 each plus a narrower 3rd door thrown in.Might need a bigger container! lol
