Looks great Geoff, I have a pour tomorrow, a little larger though. When is the good bits going up. Always great when the concrete is laid and you have something to walk on rather than mud and reo

Hi Garrick,

The good bits will be delivered on Friday, and will start taking form on Monday or Tuesday. They say 3 days to build it.

The plumber will be on site on Friday to run sewer, sw, water, and the elec conduit.
He'll also be re-doing the water supply from the meter. The old galv main is well past its' best.

Might soon be time to order the hoist... ;D ;D

 :cheers:

9m x 11m John......it won't be big enough.

Doesn't really matter though......if it had been 10m x 20m, it STILL wouldn't have been big enough..... ::)

Looking good.  Here's a bit of inspiration for you.  I've had my hoist in for a couple of weeks and used it for a job on the Val on the weekend.  What a revelation.  Makes everything so easy. Cheers, Mike.

Geoff, looks great but your tandem trailer looks too clean and newish. Bit like a Toorak Trailer;D

Here's a genuine offer to help ya.  Bring it along into Mt Disappointment next time Fuji and I head in. We'll fill our chainsaw fuel and oil while balancing on the side. Spilled oil and fuel is really great for capturing forest dirt and dust. Make it look a whole lot tougher!
Then we'll load it with mountain ash logs freshly cut and dropped in from the side. Add a few dents, scrapes and paint chips. Starting to look really rugged now.
Then we'll get you to follow us the a few gravel tracks and maybe a creek wash out. That'll fix those shiny alloy rims. By the time we've finished and dropped the timber at our places, it'll look like a real trailer.

It's ok, don't thank us for the offer. That's what myswag friends are for;D

Thanks for the offer scraps, but the trailer's done its' share of work. My dad and I built it over 20 years ago. It was originally my camping/motor bike trailer, but it's also hauled many a load to the tip. It sports many battle scars and faded paint. The photo flatters it immensely.....

The shiny alloy rims were a $300 ebay pickup. A set of 5 EL Fairmont Ghia rims, with 4 near new Michelins and an unroaded original spare. I got $100 for the 4 old XF Fairmont rims with stuffed tyres ... :cup:
