Unclejake Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 Are you going to have the cooking area in or outside? Young Jake'sAE101 is onto it. Smelly stuff stays outside. 10sqm is actually bloody tiny TBH. My current home bedroom is 16sqm... and I can't wait to be away from it and up on that hill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclejake Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 It's too dark to work after 5.15pm and I only get weekends from 1pm so I built a light tower using some bits of wood, some sodium lights I got from TradeMe for $45 each, and extension cord and the generator Errrm. Turn your head. I dunno how to rotate this stz. Sorry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Unclejake Posted June 7, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 7, 2016 I got a bit of time to mess around doing some landscaping in the weekend. I also managed to get the basement closed in. UJ are happy TBH And there was even time to waterblast all the mud off the floor. Please forgive the poor photo. It was taken tonight under the FUCKING AWESOME lights... but the generator is now playing up so I've hauled it down to the workshop. I'll take a look at it Thursday 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
