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....  :laugh:

We have to start thinking about what sort of a world we are going to leave for Keith Richards after we are all gone.

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...

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 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...
