Heya folks.... Really annoyed I can't be there this weekend so I'll have to ask doug3030 to add a few off colour comments (on-top of his own) and put up with the disapproving glares I would usually cop

I'm hard at work renovating our little unit whilst our we don't have tenants in there....
My wife is hoping it's going to be 'the block' style however I see it turning into 'my house rules'

Few progress shots of wall removal, still a kitchen, bathroom and new floors to go... Going to be a busy few weeks...

Simone did mention maybe next year we will bring the clan down so I'll hold her to that one.

Thanks all for the updates and pictures...looking like a great time!

Hopefully I'll catch up with you all sooner, but if not see you in dooen 2019!!!

ETA o about I don't know 15/20 min
Was meant to be working today and did actually start to remove a gate post.
But was looking for any excuse to not work today.
So after two hours work, I chucked the bucket I quit work.
And we left the big smoke earlier than expected.

Cheers Matt

I have obviously been doing it wrong not using tomato sauce or Nutella. Careful it is a slippery slope.
Cheers,

Yesterdy was a great day. I had the immense pleasure of working on the mallet kits I put togehter with three very inspiring young homeschooled people. Alix, Evanna and Ben (Iprobably misspelt at least two of the names) were a pleasure to work with and they all made great work of their mallets.

All the homeschoolers appeared to have a great day with the other forum members as well making pencil cases, dolls furniture and various turned items. Ihave taken some pictures but I won't post them til I get home to the real computer.

Cheers

Doug
