Being bloody wet over the last couple of weeks, and unable to work(flooded roads, local ferry out of operation due to high river levels), I spent a bit of time in the shed, even with young Jack.
We've built shelves, organising stuff, he's bought a heap of tools(he's nearly finished his Fitters & Turners apprenticeship), 3 in one might, tig, welder.
Today on my Rodeo work ute, I installed a 100W solar panel, controller, second battery, 12v to 18v Makita charger and Sorted the ladder racks.
I also fitted to Fysh's 2018 MUX a bonnet protector & window weather sheilds.
Also ordered a plug & play replacement upgrade car radio/reverse camera/Bluetooth, which has Android carplay.
Been a busy day.
Cheers

His apprenticeship papers say Turner.
Should see the toys, I mean tools he brings home
I was thinking of buying a kit shed for the New Age Road Owl & my 4.8m work trailer.
A good mate of Jack's, his dad owns a fabrication business, we will be now building a 10x7 skillion shed off the side of the house.
All council approved, of cause.

Definitely. One must go double story as a minimum. How else is one gonna get a hoist in, let alone a machine shop and a fab shop

We used to call the cooks in the RAAF "fitters and turners" They fit it into pots and turn it into sh1t..

Have already fixed the leak that emanated from water tracking in via the A/C service pipes where they past through the wall.
Tomorrow will be a job to repair/replace the MDF wall sheets that have grown as a result of acting as a sponge. A bit of painting and then put the vinyl back down. Hopefully sorted by Sunday evening.
