Glad that there was no damage mate. Sounds like you have had a very early Xmas though!We had a lot of toys turn up during the week. 270w kickass solar panel. GME TX3500s UHF and GME Antenna and our Holiday Annexes bed end canvas flys.Also had my spot lights correctly wired (mob did it incorrectly first time round) and dual battery wiring finished during the week. So had these to check also.
Started by setting solar panels up and figuring out how they work. Installed the bed end flys! Very happy must say. However during the install i got a piece of aluminium in my eye
So Sunday, did a bit a mowing and then went and bought the little girl her first camera.
The What Did You Do On The Weekend Thread!!

@17triton yes the eye is all good. Thanks mate
@Kenshi123 yes a few early presents. Getting reading for our next trip and also finishing fitting out the new car with what we are used to.
@davemc yes safety googles are certainly worth their weight in gold. In this case however, the drilling was done, the workplace (i.e. the expanda lid) was already blown down - we use all air tools. Then we were pop riveting the sail track in so wasn't wearing safety glasses at that time thinking all bad bits were gone. In future will just wear them. We have many pairs of safety glasses as well as full face helmets. Lesson learnt thats for sure.

@crackacoldie they still have good boots and one has ear muffs. Mostly safe!
Yeah thats right mate they are not anywhere near the same. Safety glasses close all openings glasses do not.

Cleaned my workshop and started on my Expanda wheel winch project. Only been 2 yrs in the planing.
Took the van down to Walkerville (VIC - near Wilsons Prom) for the weekend. Great little camping spot right on the beach. Kids got a few surfs in, wet a line, plenty of wildlife and some good times around a camp fire.

Pulled the panda to south west rocks...beautiful
I finally got and installed the LED light strip under the awning and temporarily wired it into the outside light until I can get a 3 x switch plate and extra switch. Tested it on Saturday night once it got dark and received a phone call from Sydney Air Traffic control to turn it off as it was distracting and blinding the pilots.

Took the expanda on it's maiden shakedown trip to Willowbrook Farm near Gingin, WA... No phone or TV reception so was peaceful and quiet
Best parts of the trip was the free fresh warm scones with local jam and cream whilst packing up on Sunday morning
Unfortunately no pics of the scones as not even a crumb made it back to the van!!

Your right Burnsy but you shouldn't leave it till a week before leaving either!
One more weld and it's done. I have also set it so I can use the 200,s winder if necessary.
