Huh I thought my husband was the only one who colour coded his man cave ;D cheers rellbell

Not much good me doing that, I'm colour blind  :laugh: :laugh:
I do have it partly organised into plastic tubs that are dymo labelled though. Got sick of pulling the whole garage apart just to find a box of screws etc.

Fixed a mates chainsaw.. Well its running better. But cant take it outside and test it properly as its a total fire ban.. Love having a workshop, in the old days I would have been able to do anything on days like this.

Jeepers , In rural areas Total fire ban is no chainsaws and even no harvest days with extreme conditions .. Many a bush fire started with a spark from a chain saw or even a hot saw sat in long grass (as the electric mob in WA claimed some years back ) ...

Plenty of rainforest up here too test your saws on any time of the year ;)

Epic, I have a mate who lives close to the city and wants you to build him one so he can rent it out to 12 uni students that are here from overseas

Adjusted the rear door of the canopy so it closes and stays closed..

And drew up a set of drawers for the back of the Rok... Looking to use 17mm ply, and Teflon runners... Rough cost looks like it will be around $200 if I can get Teflon offcuts ...

Beats the $1600 that a set of Drifta drawers would cost, although they do seem well made and the tables that come with them are pretty snazzy...

Hi Guys

Well on top of finishing the electrics on my CT I had a small project for the wife and two daughters. We use this chair when camping at places that have a long drop.Problem is that the girls don't like the way it tends to sink,slide and shift when in use. so I knocked up a base that the seat can be steady on.



My eldest came out to see what I was up to . She liked it so I got her to sit on it and I stood behind her and we played out the bob sled boys from hey hey its Saturday.  Daddy humour  ;D
It will get a sand and a lick of paint after this trip .

as it turned out it wasnt a total fire ban, well not an official one anyway. but I still wouldnt want to have started a fire from it as there was plenty of wind and dry grass..

and Yes I live in a rural area. On a farm in country vic.

opened the shed up this morning and then hid one of the kids presents in there, spent the morning putting it together whilst they are away, so now it's out of sight until tomorrow morning  8) 8) would have chucked a pic up here of said present, but t's amazing how long it takes for a pic from your phone to reach the computer infront it, even though it's only a metre away....lol

Not quite in the shed but close by and I couldn't find a garden thread, but over the last month or so I've been building a deck to fill in an awkward corner in the back yard. It's a steel frame with laminated merbau roof frame, solid merbau decking and a colour bond roof. There are 18 LED deck lights around the perimeter,
 I put the finishing touches to it yesterday by finishing the feature wall and water feature.
