zac the shed IS awesome!!
Mind you we hopefully bring everything home from storeage tomorrow..AND the electricians vehicle has marked it's territory on the slab before the
dubs got a chance
My son Aaron was over today and sent me a txt that one of MY cars must be dripping oil..well they do..BUT they haven't had a chance yet!! AND I was
going to slide cardboard under them until I relaxed a bit about stain
I can just see Bel and the Dr sniffing the 'garage' and knowing they are not the first in there...done traddies ute dripping:jesus
I have an RDO tomorrow to get things done..but would you believe it I have to go into work cos I'm going for another job and hey want me in for a 30
minute test
We wanted to get the cars outa the storage tomorow because on a weekday these storage places can be crazy with people on a weekend getting at their
stuff and blocking the way
Penguin I hope it stays dry up there so you can get the sheets on...even though you do need the rain..and have the tanks ready to catch it

Yipeeee my babies are home!!
Bel and Dr L re home plus all the other stuff from storage...including bikes!!
All I need now are shelves...AND oops the shed isn't long enough to get Eddies Vacationerwagon in...we'll have to get him a Golf hehe..I cut the
length of the shed short because of the council giving me grief about the size of the shed...we are about 6 inches short..the dubbs are as far forward
as they can go...oh well there is the carport for now and maybe jiggle around a bit..but it's tight
I thought maybe 3 across the front to try and get the Vacationer in...but the Golf is looking a good option!!:thumb

Great feeling when you can finally get your stuff in your own space. I find I am still getting things into their permanent home. Good to hear the
territory has been marked.
Bridie can call me 0431 510 061 or e-mail info@ehlimo.co.au

carparks
Hey cool about your dad arriving home...so what sort of engine are you getting??
Pete thanks for the number...I'll pass it onto Bridie:thumb

Getting closer, but work and a few other things have slowed it all up again.
Love the size of your shed. Nice spot for working off to the left and cars on the right! well done

Thanks Penguin...I am hoping to get some shelving on the weekend to put in the lean to side of the shed to get things off the ground....and I'm sure
we can figure out a way to fit all the cars in with a bit of giggling...it will take a bit of time to figure out the best way to park thm and be able
to gt two daily drivers in and out with ease
I think there is space for shelves nearer the cars for things that they need.I have it in my mind but we have to try it out and see what works
I know what it's like when work holds things up..I have no time at home...or even at work to organise things...not sure when we will be normal again
... but at least we have the dubbs home

I could do that for you no worries. Couldn't do it sober, so give me a few too many beers and it will look good. For me at the time anyway.

house clutter..still heaps to pack up but now I have someone coming in it makes you more motivated to do things
Zac how's it wagon going?

you like to double post a lot at the moment don't you jen??
the wagon's good;. new engine in and everything is up and running...BAR the fact that dad won't let me drive it to melbourne aqs it keeps popping
out of 5th gear and we're waiting for parts. they won't come for 2-3weeks, by which time dad will be in sweden and he won't let me pull the gearbox
apart myself!
so yeh...kinda good, kinda bad!

...I can't see a double post anywhere?
..I think sometime things might double when I post...nothing seems to happen so I press post again...and then again even sometimes = triple or
quadruple postings of the same thing:jesus
I just get impatient...just deleted the , clone and tried so hard not to keep pressing delete incase I took the whole of the thread out
Is the gear box the last thing to get fixed on the wagon before you can drive it to Melb? So when is you dad due back next? Pity you couldn't get the
parts sooner

well my dad's a freak and he managed to fix it yesterday by machining up a part of his own! so yeh..my gearbox is now fixed. and i drove my new turbo
wagon to melbourne.
it's awesome..so much more power and torque...but even more so the fact i have a car that's not going to break down on me and an engine that hasn't
done 400000+ kms.
so yeh..i have my car back!!!

I had relo's arrive from Holland on Sunday morning. So I managed to finish all of the renovations at the end of last week.
Then We met my Uncle, Aunty and two cousins at the airport 6.00am Sunday morn. We have been showing them all the sights around, from local lookouts
(Skyhigh) at sunset, Healesville Sanctuary, up to Shepparton (My Mum landed there in 60's), Echuca, paddlesteamers, nature walks, animals, etc.
They are off on their own now for a while, and are going to the penguins tonight, friends in Berwick, other relo's in Werribee, then up to Sydney
etc. Big holiday for them.

Sounds like a good time Pete...how did young Fidel handle all the outings..
It must be nice to have the reno's finished....we've got the painters going through the house...I think it's worse than moving as we are trying to
live in a small part of the house and coming home to plaster dust and ground sheets...hopefull;y we will have th house back early next month!
Well we have more packing up to do...and poor Bel is boxed in again cos we are using he space in th shed to store things out of the way:jesus
Zac I hope you are not turning into one of these car hoons we are reading about :P

Fidel is very excited in the bus now. He has just had his baby seat moved to forward facing position now. He loves watching the scenery through all of
the windows. Doesn't mind being a couple of metres back from us at the front.

I tell ya what Zac, that has to be bad luck. You must have been doing the right thing, because you are not in jail anyway. Imagine how many times you
would have been pulled up if you were in a VL Maaaaaaayte?
