Home maintainance

[interest]

I have just sold the family home,
These real estate prices in Sydney at the moment are just crazy so I've taken advantage of them,
received just over $100,000 more than the asking price. WOW!!!
So packing up & heading north will be there, after we find a place that is, about mid September.
BOOYA!!

Congratulations Interest!!! :good:

How far north are you going to go?
Hey AJ ..... can I come and play in the tee pee?

[JeffH]

A Little Further North

[ausjack]

Well done Interest so how far ya comin up

Yes your always welcome to use the tee pee Uni, little Uni would love it :winkextra: but not much room in there now with they growing so quick
Thanks RG, should see the size of the stems on some of them, as thick as me thumb and only about 2 foot high so should get a few this year and thinking about putting some mortgage savers in soon, as soon as it warms up a little

AJ, there should be just enough room under there to keep the "wig warm". (Best I could do under the circumstances).

[ausjack]

what bloody wig with a mop like you've got, hippy is one word that comes to mind :laugh2: sorry I wanna be good :blush2:

We are looking at Port Macquarie.
Been there a few times for holidays & like the feeling of the place.

the blankie looks sweet for sure

[ausjack]

I don't really like port because they're trying to make it the hub of the north coast so the hog everything so nothing gets done north of it and the people are really funny there and not funny har har :winkextra: up a bit further is a lot nicer and a little warmer too but along the coast is good and bad as you don't get the frosts but the salt air just eats stuff so cars and concrete doesn't last as long as a little inland but any things got to be better than the rat race
:laugh2: gee it's gonna get crowded under the "tee pee" but I can always add extensions :winkextra:

[ausjack]

This is what they're like now RG, sorry the pic's are a bit dark but it's a bit overcast here today

and one section of the dreaded handrail that's taken me ages

but it's these stupid bloody angled bits that are the hardest and taken me the longest

 I started doing this by hand and then thought I'm never gonna get it done so decided to use the grinder and use three different sort, flat sanding disc for the flat rails, one that has a slight angle for the round tube and a wire brush one or the angled welds and then an old knife for the tiny little bit that nothing will get into, and I still have the front to do

[trout]

Have you tried using one of them multi layered sanding disks that fit on your grinder AJ ?
They work a treat on this sort of job :good:

[ausjack]

This is what I've been using cobba
top left wire brush for the more fiddly bits, top right has a slight angle so easier for doing the round inch pipe and bottom is just a flat disc for the flat sections

this is it put together

It's just a little bit warmer here today but can't do any grinding as it's raining, gee it's been so long since we've had any so sort of glad it is as rain makes the plants grow so much better

[trout]

We are getting a nice bit of rain here as well, At Last :dance::dance2::dance:

[ausjack]

don't tell me you've been dancing naked again :laugh2:
