Dammit,
now we actually have rain I can't get the shed up (or pour the slabs for teh rainwater tanks either!!)
I think you may beat me Jenz!
'Ah, whatever................'
0MG I can't imagine beating you pengy!!
Not sure if my drive and slab will happen tomorrow the plumbers have trenches and no pipes in them for the stormwater...and electician needs to get wires down there to...hmmm .. I'm too scared to look at our weather forcasts..my fingers are crossed for fair weather until the concrete is down and cured...I feel guilty BUT I want this over and to get my cars back home:kiss
Dave last thing I needed to do was go shopping, tempting as it is😏
Its Murphies Law when you start doing some building work it starts to rain get to the shops LOL hehehehe
lol you idiot!! I'm not like that haha...I would but the reno's are keeping me poor:jesus
Got home tonight and with the headlights on full beam I could see that they have it ready to pour the slab!!😎
Don't you just luv going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark this tim of the year🙁
This spring it will be out in the garen and getting it nice out the back again so that summer is spent crising in Bel with her roof open...so looking forward to it:kiss
How are the other tomorrow people going? Hope all is good

Bathroom renovations are moving slowly. I still have to do the plaster joins in the ceiling and the cornice, and paint. I have to wait until I finish the laundry though so I can get the washing machine and dryer out of the bathroom.
another exam tomorrow, and then a final one on friday.
and then i have a few weeks to work and get moeny to pay for next semester,

Sounds like a continuous ball of fun Zac?
I have just started my third homebrew in three consecutive weeks. First brew is ready and nice. I am planning on stocking up and getting all of my 120 ish bottles filled.
I spent all day today assembling most of the laundry cabinet. It sounds slack to only get 3/4 of it done in a whole day, but it is only pre cut, and I have to scribe and cut all the footer, header, fillers and I am so fussy, everything has to be exact.
I'm gonna have another beer now.
well i'm finished now so i can't complain. i now have 8 weeks off!
yeh peter i'm looking at getting another fermenter. i've only got 48 or bottles and i need more too.
i've got 2 brews ready...a bavarian lager (coopers...$14 jobbies)...and a very very nice asahi from the homebrew place off victoria street. made with real hops, cold ferment (at 5-10degC) etc.
the asahi is fantastic. as good as the real stuff, and if you didn't know it was homebrew...you wouldn't be able to tell!

I have found colder fermenting is the better quality. Takes longer, but worth the wait.
mmm luv asahi..can u brew yr own:beer
I had it first in Micronesia about 7 yrs ago...they have a big Japenese connection there and got a taste for it
Pete no probs with the cold fermentation at the moment with our COLD weather brrrrrrrr
Just saw the weather warning for NSW and they are in for another storm..I hope all our NSW friends get through OK:sandrine
yeh it's def. slower but the beer turns out so much ncier.
yep jen you can brew your own.
good stuff too!
MOB: 0423890217
I dunno how this sounds, but I am currently drinking quicker than I can brew, and I am able to brew 28 bottles every 10-12 days. 🤪
Oh and the best thing about home brew is that it only costs about 60 cents a bottle (750ml). You save money, so the more you drink, the more you save. :duh
WAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! The shed goes up next Tuesday!!!!:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce
Can you tell I'm EXCITED??!!😂
It will take 3 days to erect...not sure if electrician can get there to wire the roller doors but THE SHED IS GOINT UP!!! wahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!:thumb:party:beer:party:beer:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce
Hope all is well with you all:sandrine:kiss
You are gonna love it Jen. Your own space. It is better than any room you can have in your house, apart from bedroom (must sleep), bathroom (must clean) and royal throne (must release). Our house is only just bigger than the garage by a couple of square metres. We have a loungeroom you can only just fit a regular lounge suite and TV in. We plan on having three children in this house. I grew up in a house like this, and my kids can too.
But garage - Must have garage space.
Damn,you'll beat me.
We poured the concrete for the rainwater tanks two weeks ago, and I got back from the NT just now so I can't start on the shed till next weekend.
'Ah, whatever................'
Once I changed shed companies it all started happening...kit arrives tomorrow and they start erecting Tuesday morning
Hopefully next Saturday we can go get the cars and all our gardening gear out o storage👍
Your had a few hold ups of different sorts Penguin...how long wereyou in NT and have you heard any more about the posting?
I really didn't expect to beat you on this one the way it was going
I hope we get a fine weekend in a couple of weeks time...it will be nice to take Bel for a run...she must be feeling neglected...I hope she knows all of this was for her:kiss
OK I will try and post a pic or two of the drive and slab...I don't seem to be able to find a resizer function on iphoto?
It is a muddy mess in the back yard...old bungalow and pool went and the yard has been so dug up....the house has been getting a bit of work done on it as well
Well I hope the pics aren't too bit!!
It didn't work...tried a second time as well...not sure what I'm doing wrong with the mac?
Did I ever put up any photos of the slab? as in just after it was poured?
'Ah, whatever................'
I'm sure you did put pics up Penguin...positive I saw them?
Well the guy who is putting the shed up left a message and he is behind with the wet weather..so should be here Wednesday if the weather goes well...hmmmmmm it is raining hard out there right now..trust me to do this the year the drought breaks:jesus
..
Don't worry Jen, I had very dry ground no rain for months, and the day before the concrete beams are to be laid for the slab it pours.
The guy putting it in said it was ok, as the concrete would push the water out, and I cut a drain at the back of the foundations for the water to rush straight out and into the drain.
Then the rain continued for weeks and slowed the laying of the main top slab for weeks.
I was on inside duties this weekend. I put the laundry trough in, tiles, ceiling cornice, painted ceiling, so one more room getting close to finished.

..Rob what is happening? I hope it is not too bad.....just had my young/old 23yr old daughter vist who has always felt older and wiser than anyone since she was born..I know all..and she vidited tonight snd I told her..like mother, like daughter :duh
We were able to laugh and bitch about things that are gripng us...I know she is strong and will survive in this world..I feel her struggles at times and know I am part of it
Teenage daughters are harder than sons is all I can say...sorry Rob!!
What's up? I work with a woman with teenage duaghters and she was waiting to go home to sort out her husbsnd and daughter who cme into conflict while she was off the scene!!! A lot more emotions involved than men can deal with sometimes🤪
Eddie is learning..he stayed inside while Bridie and I sat outside..sharing experiences and working on tactics to get through our current griefs....Eddie is wise..he stays inside and leaves all up to me!!
Eddie is only now finding out what it's like to be parent..he's lucky..only just starting with adult children..and I'm learning you are always the parent and always there...I so much more understand my parents now..you are always a parent and always care no matter how old your children are
...hmm don't know if that helped at all!! Just had a good time talking with Brides tonight when she dropped in..we talked and sared..and related..and we know we are OK in this crazy world..and we can ALWAYS talk.hehe
Bridie knows I have found a gem in Eddie...I found a good one..and he didn't have to deal with nappies🙅
Goodness...I have been feeling so parental tonight..Rob good luck..teenage daughters are harder..sorry:sandrine
You do have a shed??😀
So nice to catch up:sandrine🙂
