The What Did You Do On The Weekend Thread!!
- Thread starter cruza driver
- Start date
Some people never learn...
Did you try to take on Monkey Gum @Moto Moto ?I believe this one was a GT version. I believe the auto dimming mirror malfunctioned, but i'm sure its still drivable (in limp mode). Actually looks a lot like your @cruza driver
Either that or there is a new transformer model.............

Maybe @cruza driver will come along next time and show us how the Victorians do it...I wish @relgate ! And no way i'm taking Monkey Gum on without you there for some more side step bending fun
That's the best ramp over angle I've ever seen on a dual cab!I believe this one was a GT version. I believe the auto dimming mirror malfunctioned, but i'm sure its still drivable (in limp mode). Actually looks a lot like your @cruza driver

I got my 12 pin plug fitted.... Expanda due last week of May!!
Had a 4wd weekend with some guys from work at Yeagerup Beach in WAs south west. Great spot but not accessible with the Expanda in tow

Not strictly weekend stuff but being retired, every day is part of a weekend.
Since we've been unable to get away this year it's been time to catch up on a few outstanding works around home. A job for me has been using up some of the excess steel I have for projects started but not completed. This has been partly used for a new office/computer bench that will be topped with a couple of timber slabs that have been sitting around maturing. Other steel has gone in to a BBQ bench and some coffee tables. For the top of the tables and the BBQ we scored some free materials locally when the annual pre-cyclone hard rubbish collection was done a couple of years back. The wife went out in the morning to the corner shop for the paper and came rushing back and dragged me out of bed to get the sack truck and follow her. Someone had discarded some ceramic tiles and she wanted them and until I got there I didn't realise why. There were 4 single 800 x 800 x 12 mm tiles in separate cardboard packs plus a cut one about 1/3 rd of the others. Unfortunately no 2 have the same pattern, but they were free after all. The small one goes on the BBQ bench. This table for friends is lower and has a shelf underneath.

Spent this weekend in the trenches, put the power across to the shed, back filled halfway then worked some ore on the storm water drainage. Also had a Lee Kerneghan and Wolfe Brothers concert Saturday night.
More work on the Expanda's landing pad, this time it was the garden in front I've been promising SWMBO for a year, pic's to come in the My Jayco thread.
Went to Caravan Camping show with @Burnsy!
After 3 hours in the warmth went to buy a drink and couldn't even ge

Sadly I haven't been able to take the Expanda out since Jan 2014. I'll have to remedy that real soon.
Here's what I made over the Easter weekend when I had some time to myself.... Hallway table using recycled hardwood.

I did a bit of 4WD gardening. Pulled out some westringa shrubs and a couple of wattle trees by wrapping a tow rope around them and driving off. 
Worked a treat so now just have to dispose of them.

Isn't that the only way to garden?I did a bit of 4WD gardening. Pulled out some westringa shrubs and a couple of wattle trees by wrapping a tow rope around them and driving off.
