My question is... What can I do to 'nail' the wood borers...

Thanks guys,
I'll call and have a chat with them. Still not sure on size yet. Up to the missus.
It'll have a roof, I know that much. Which will mean guttering and a water tank I dare say.

Sorry guys,
I've been away for a looong time.
Been in the new house for a couple of years now. The missus came to me last week and said "darling, we need a pergola before the hot weather really...

G'day guys,
Can anyone tell how do I remove a film of adhesive on my cricket bat?

Sounds good, but I'd be concerned with the strength of the ceiling as it's only one of those colourbond sheds.

Yeah true Juffy,
Maybe a 'slide-out' mounted on the bench.
Something from left field.... have the bench sitting away from the walls giving me access around the whole benchtop. Sure I'd loose a...

Yeah Dallas,

I'm having a good time in the 3rd's at present. Had to sit out last game with a bad back though. Been in Leopold since 1988. It's grown heaps since then.

AL

Juffy,
That was my reasoning because there will be times that I'll need to cut long pieces.
I have two doors in the centre which I think give me a 1200 to 1400 opening.
They way it is now is......

Yeah,
Good advice Dallas.
I know it's going to warm up when summer hits.
We got double doors made on ours for big stuff going in and out.
Here's a question for you and others....
OK.... I walk...

Hey Dallas,

Yep, always good to get a quick bit of gos from another local.

Thanks Juffy & Andy,

Juffy, you're right, it would be for the smaller items, the big wrenches etc to go on the wall.

Mate !!!

Now there's an idea !! I'll look into that one.
