Not today, but on the weekend I made this. It will soon go up on the roof, after I have made a cupola for it to sit on. The question is, do I paint it or do I leave it rusty

You could always paint it with rust coloured paint, best of both worlds....

paint it, yes paint it..

If you collect your water for drinking etc, then the rust from the wind vein will leak into your water tank and if its a gal tank it will make it rust quicker too.

if your tank is poly then when you drink the water it will make you sick, too sick to go to your man cave...

so paint it...

(Warning disclaimer:- the above may or may not be true, as I made it up so just paint it..)

All I did was pull out the Mallee Tracks and snatch strap, so we can take my 90 year old Mum 4 wheeling at Rainbow and D.I. this morning.

I know I won't need 'em, but to keep the wife quiet, its just easier to take the stuff.

Fitted water tank gauges to the two tanks.

Finished making a plug and play wiring loom for a LS1 V8 to fit into duggies VR ute. Nothing nicer to here the v8 come to life, on the first crank, all the gauges work and I can still run my tech 2 service tool on it.

Fitted the RV unit. Easy to install once I found the right angle drill chuck!! bit tight under the camper.
All good, really works OK in the shed. Will know more after I go camping at the weekend.

Neighbour and his son helped me move the treadmill from the spare room back out to the garage. It was moved from the garage to the spare room 2 years ago and was never used. I can see a pattern forming here...
