Movin' on...

I feel your pain there Baz, nothing worse that being stuck with poor coverage. Here on the river I get a brilliant connection. Data, calls, overseas mobile, skype etc all perfect, I even called someone on her mobile in germany while skyping with her and there was no lag between phone and screen. But go back to my house in the middle of sydney and I have to stand on top of the toilet and hold my mouth the right way just to make a call.

Looks pretty neat, Baz. My parents are caravaning around AU at the moment and knowing how much they paid for their new van, I know what I how I'd rather spend my cash....

Any ideas for an outdoor add-on to create a bit of a patio area?

Most definitely, need to get the interior finished first, then will plan a lightweight de-mountable deck, with probably a shade sail over.

Great work. Look forward to seeing it all done...

Wonderful progress. Congratulations.

That's wonderful! Hope you are enjoying your new place! Is it quiet around there?

I'm glad to see that like the rest of us from down here you have the extinguisher in the right place.
The chances of fire in the kitchen and bedroom are basically the same.

I am loving it, except when I'm not.

Which is mostly about my off grid setup. PV, Inverter/Chargers, Batteries, (48V, 4x200Ah batts. 6 x 270W PV).
Generators, RANT over.

And yes, it is very quiet. So quiet that I sometimes hear the airbrakes on the Mudland Hwy, bout 8 klms west away.

But then there's the maggies that hit the roof hard bout dawn to practice their carrier landings. They then sit around and squack about it.

And dont get me started about deer coughing at me.

Looking South about 3 months ago, pretty bloody dry. (Alt: 125m AGL. 800mtr MSL).

Box me old dear, I have read this 4 times now and still she make no sense.

In the interests of good bookkeeping, I submit the following:

Number of Kitchen fires that I have either experienced or have trusted hearsay: 7 in last 30 years.
Number of Bedroom fires that I have either experienced or have trusted hearsay: 0 in last 30 years.

Damn fine gin and lime, this.

Hmmm, sounds like your bedroom is a bit short on heat! Gotta bring the fire Baz.

That's quite some place you have there. Small but efficient.

Finally got my deck built and I love it, makes such a difference.
All modular and can be dismantled to man size pieces for transportation.
Now to see if the canopy is strong enough to take the winds around here.
