G'day Dj,

she's got 3 pillows on the lounge and a sheepskin and a baby bump pillow thingo, so if you need some more cushions give a shout.

Finished cleaning up for now, need to burn off all the shrubs and branches now and then in a month or so he will come back with a tipper to get rid of all the excess dirt.

This is the the bonfire pile looking from the shed

Back corner next to the shed all cleared now and will be utilised for stacking freshly sawn timber for air drying. Also the pile of dirt on the right which has grass growing over it will be part of the dirt that I will getting rid of.

DJ, your images don't work for me, tells me I am not logged in. Using Firefox.

Tried again, and it asked me to log in. Did so, and it worked

But I was logged in anyway?

Cool, cool. Love that scenery up there. All of those tall timbers. What are they, Ash?

Nice area DJ, how much land do you have? Enough to put a few more sheds up?

No idea mate, they are on the forums server so shouldn't be a prob, obviously you can see them now

Love to put a few more up but pretty much pushing it now, I am only on 3/4's of an acre.

Will probably build some leanto's for more storage.

Hmm, something's changed, the picture now show in the post, whereas when I was experiencing the problem only a link showed.

Oh well, as you say it works now.

Not much to report on, but lit the fire yesty morning which the first pic shows and the last one is of it just taken now which is 34hrs after it was lit. Should burn out tomorrow sometime. Bit dark but you should be able to see the trailer in the foreground and the fire just behind it.

Got home early this arvo, so I put some Flatpack cupboards that I bought a few weeks ago together.

Picked these ones up from Bunnings and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the Flatpacks, but was a bit disappointed with the lost of space with the 900mm wide pots drawer. Have decided that I can lower the 2 drawers and fit another one above and make it into a 3 drawer pack

So why does a woodworker buy flat packs for his shed?

Surely the carcasses are almost as quick to make as they are to put together, or is a flat pack cheaper than buying the materials?

I wouldn't know, have never bought a flat pack.

BS I could have made them myself, but for a few hours work they are done and I don't have to worry about working out the dimensions and chasing up bits and peices. I will be making my own benchtops (probably vic ash) and fronts (MDF??) to go on them though.

At this stage I just want to get the shed kitted out and finished so that I can do some actual woodwork.

Fair enough, just wondering.

Know how you feel about getting some actual woodwork done
