Oops, sorry Trevor - I hardly get on this part of the forum, and it was so long since I posted this that I hadn't recognised it as my thread for a bit (~ blonde?!)! So you've been around the CQ ridges, too, by the sounds of it! We love it here, but drool over the kind of soil we left behind! Mind you, you can grow anything pretty well here, still - as long as it can tolerate the frosts! We like it being reliably green and fresh for over half the year - makes it worth putting up with the cold!
Cheers,
Jill

Hello Jill,
Just moved in to new premises, 5 and half acres of sloping tree covered hillside, great view but no too many places to build a workshop but have selected a site with a great view, possibly will be too distracting. At present I share a small workshop with a three meter carpet snake, he leaves me alone although I get a bit nervouse when he/she climbes over the rafters directly above the lathe when I'm turning.
Nic photos - Will post some pics soon

Hi Peter! Pomona is a beautiful spot! It will sure be a major change in climate from Darwin! We have some friends near Pomona, also on a block! What size workshop are you building? Yikes - the carpet snake! We haven't seen any down here in the SW, yet. I'd rather see them than dugites and tigers! We saw plenty of carpets when we lived in Qld - one gave me a fright one night, resting on our loft floor window sill when I opened the window...you know the cold stare of a snake esp. when you're looking eye to eye!
Keep us posted on your workshop!
Cheers,
Jill

Hello Jill,
The workshop will be a bit smaller than originally planned, about 5X8 meters. There will be a two meter lean-to on one side. The workshop will be built next to a 10,000 gallon concrete tank. It has a few leaks and we will be building a new tank so I was thinking of turning it into a storage area for all of my roughed out turning blanks. Its' about 5 meters in diameter and approx 2.7 meters tall, looks quite solid. Thought I add a few windows and a skylight - a door to of course.
Building should be underway in a about a month, ground needs to be leveled first.

Hi again, Peter,
Sorry - I often forget to check this section - even though it stares me in the face when I open WWF!
The tank sounds like a good storage area for your timber! I imagine it would stop the termites pretty well!
Happy building! Are you going to build it yourself? Only a matter of weeks, now, until we will be able to move into the house and set up our workshop! Bliss - both!
Cheers,
Jill
