    PAINT THREAD

    That would be the cheapest and simplest solution, but I want to get the shed back to it’s original intended use. Plus, it’s full as fuck.

    PAINT THREAD

    Yeah, that's the main downside I see at the moment, too. All the items I'm painting at the moment are small (<1m2), but I would like to use the area for painting motorbike and go-kart frames, etc in the future. I also want to make it so friends can use the space to paint whatever little projects they have as well. I think maybe the only thing that the shipping container would be too narrow for would be cars, and I can't see myself painting those anyway.

    I'm still very much a noob when it comes to painting, but it looks like it's going to be an important part of my business for a while yet - as well as my own hobbies. I've currently got a far from ideal setup in the garage, which gives me no control over dust and debris, temperature, and overspray. Plus it looks like shit having half finished products lying around everywhere while they dry. I'm daydreaming about getting another shipping container, and setting it up specifically as an external paint booth with power and extraction abilities. This will give me storage for all my paint related stuff, as well as control over temperature and air filtering, and a decent amount of room to move around in. Does this sound like a good idea, or is there a better way of doing it?

    No, I don't think that's possible. /pm incoming.

    Child #2 is due on the 8th of November. The wife has tricked me out of a bike ride again!

    Ah crap, I think I’m out.

    Insert 'your mum' joke here.

    So, this was awesome. The plan for next year is to go for the whole event, rather than just the week. And to have something to ride in or on - even if it’s just a bicycle.

    Probably after work on the Friday night.

    Has anyone got any spare motorcycle gloves that I can use for the ride? I feel like my pruning gloves aren't going to be adequate for this.
  13. Archetype
    Yep, I reckon so. You’d probably be able to outrun the popo with the Lets anyway. Bookface your plate deets to me and I’ll whip something up for you.
  14. Archetype
    Sure, ‘for off-road/novelty purposes only’.

    @Firetruck - you still in on this?
  16. Archetype
    Yep - Limeworks Loop Road, cuz.

    Shit, the amount of things that just about fall into your lap is amazing. Nice skinny tyres like that should make fitting/turning inside the body easier.

    I’m 100% in for this, and I’m already foaming from my nether regions.

    Brap brap brap.

    20 bucks is 20 bucks?

    I thought I'd be better off rolling and spreading the load, rather than sliding and grazing myself. It sure didn't feel graceful though.

    My summary to the wife when I got home last night went something like this: "It was awesome! One guy fell off and broke his collarbone, another dude went off a large bank and didn't die because he landed on some trees, and I got a flat tyre on the last day. Oh, and I had a little fall at about 2km/h when I derped. Can't wait for the next one." Her response: "Please don't tell me that."

    Alarm went off at the usual time this morning. Meh, I’ll just close my eyes and rest a little longer. Nek minnit, it’s 11am. Sooo many emails to catch up on, but I haven’t found any angry ones yet, so that’s a bonus. Pretty keen to retire asap so I can tootle and ringding errday.

    I’m lying on my bed in silence at the backbackers, but there’s a constant ringdingding noise playing in my head after 2 stroke riding all day.
