More building progress

Published by Simon Lindsay

 

They've got the pipes into the slab.. Woooo starting to get some real action.

And some more pics of inside the shed. All the doors are hung now, just need to finish lining the inside of the rooms now. Shower, toilet etc should be fitted Tuesday we think.

Electric Cars

Published by Simon Lindsay

It seems that we're hearing more and more about electric cars, and that the technology is becoming more accessible.

Checkout this video of a 72 Datsun converted to Electric beating all at the Drag strip open day.

Shed's looking good now

Published by Simon Lindsay

 

Haven't posted any pics or anything for a while, as we've been madly moving into the shed. There are some photo's attached to show that it looks pretty comfy ;-)

 

So we are now living entirely on solar power, we were a little worried that we wouldn't have enough, but we have a fridge & freezer running all the time. TV at nights, Kettle, Iron & Vacuum running when required, and computer running most of the time as well.

Chook/dog cage

Published by Simon Lindsay

Well, it will be for the dogs to start with, chooks down the track. Its big enough to split in two if we have to ;-)

Attached pics show progress. Most happened in the last two days.

Just a couple more sheets of iron to attach tomorrow, and make the door latch properly, then its done.
