      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.

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

        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.

                                  No, thank the gods. In fact nearly feeling guilty. We've had almost 50mm of rain since last week. We needed it. Tho' not as badly as needed up North. How is your situation in Qld?

                                  There hasn't been a fire thru here for 60 years, so when it inevitably happens, it's going to be a doozy. We are well prepared, with a plan A and a plan B. (Plan B is run away).

                                  Cheers.

                                  PS: Just watched the news, had no idea the fires were that bad in Queensland. Hope you and yours are ok.

                                    Thanks mate. I'm in North Queensland and there are fires all around here... an eerie day today.
                                    Not as bad as the south east of QLD though; those poor buggers have may more established flora that is really taking a hit right now.

                                    Just terrible what mother nature serves up when she's pissed.

                                        Digs are coming along Baz, nice work. Looks like you have everything optimized in the space department πŸ‘ I am sure you will check 3 times for underpass headroom πŸ˜‰:). I know it does not help you but perhaps others. I am with Vodaphone so coverage in the sticks may not be good, but I have no landline so use pocket wifi. I get 90 Gigs for $54 a month, and pay 30 for unlimited use on my phone which also has 4 gigs included so i get 94 gigs with unlimited calls for $94 a month.

                                          Thanks Liam, funny you should say check 3 times.
                                          I did, and still went empirical anyway.
                                          IE: I set the canopy frame up on temp posts and walked under it a few times.
                                          SU gave me a good benchmark, (about 20 mm low.)

                                          Baz to scale. Add a bit of gut and fix the posture and he would even look like me. I dress better tho'.

                                          BTW: I am 6'4' and 3/4", 195cm.

                                            Can I ask this fairly select group of posters about some stuff?

                                            As in:
                                            I have a large number of skips from my work since SU V5 which I don't wish consigned to oblivion.
                                            So, I want to give away all my skps and designs.

                                            I am thinking loading perhaps 100 skips somewhere?
                                            A post?, ugly. Maybe SUC could have a moderated 'warehouse'?

                                            Wot to do?

                                            PS: Might have over-trained a bit, but bugger it, off it goes.
                                            I am some sort of artist, certainly a craftsman, with a wide streak of pragmatism in order to keep beer in the fridge. Some of my work is really good, and some is pragmatic and good enough.
                                            Bottom line for me is has to be solid and safe, IE: well made. SU has been a huge help in this. I approach each job with art foremost in mind, followed quickly by reality and then quickly adapt to the budget, and then hopefully think art again.
                                            And I give a lifetime guarantee on all my work. (Yours or mine).
