The What Did You Do On The Weekend Thread!!
- Thread starter cruza driver
- Start date
Sounds nice never thought of adding red wine might try that next here is my favourite recipe I've tried a few different ones but keep going back to this
Cut up Strips then min 12 hour marinade in Vac Pac bag
1kg meat
1 Cup Soy sauce
2 Tbls Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tbls Chilli flakes
1 Tbls Sugar
2 Tbls Honey
2 Tbls BBQ sauce
I suppose you could do that on the barbie with the lid down as well ?????????
Installed a drinking water tap and filter with a dedicated pump to a separate (3rd) water tank
thats what I do as well......
just been to the shops and picked up an 8 pack of 1.25l water bottles......$5.00 from Coles - thats for the coffee machine
I already have a 24x 600ml bottles sitting here for drinking......
I would "like" to one day do that sort of thing, and have an extra water tank for drinking water, but have not been too enthused to do it as we dont do alot of free camping - yet -
This weekend was not one that was liked...... Packed the van up, hooked it to the back of the Prado and towed it home after a week away at Busselton 
Well the 14 doesn't have room for another water tank anyway and I don't want the weight and when I'm in NSW any excuse to go to ALDi (and check out the grog shop) is welcome.
Especially when you hit the freeway heading back into Perth!!!!!!!!
Thats an odd combination; 2 hairdressers and garages, but only one pub and xxx shop .... the priorities seem a bit unbalanced
thanks to @Stephen Galvin I managed to get the spare tyre off the A frame and mounted on the rear draw bar. Now to relocate gas bottles and get a box to fit on the a frame...
ah, but the "Town" maybe that big, that its the
"Bakery, Real Estate, Garage & Hair Care center" - in 1 shop............
like the Airport we used to have
Nifty Chicken coop, hair care, bottle shop and tyre center
hahahahahahaha
Needed to get a new dishwasher as our existing one died through lack of use. With only 2 of us in the house it would take 4-5 days to fill it so we decided on the two drawer Fisher & Paykel bartering price from $1399 down to $1250. Then Mrs CR decided as it was stainless steel finish as opposed to existing white we should upgrade the rest of the kitchen equipment (also white) so $2500 later we have a new cooktop and oven (stainless) to be installed.
Went through exactly the same 3 years ago when I fitted our first dish washer @chartrock ... Then it was the bench tops and cupboard doors didn't match
@dagree @chartrock I have a Joinery business ..... that is sweet music to my ears. Cant say I haven't witnessed that countless times before.
More, more; same, same I say. Tax, death and kitchen/bathroom renos, you know deep down they're all inevitable; don't resist, resistance its futile. Just roll over, feign a smile, say goodbye to that new boat you dream about in your head, hand over the cash to the good lady and say "yes dear, of course I love you enough to have the best"
@chartrock from where Im standing, that whole kitchen maybe looking a little tired now, with all those sparkling new appliances. Maybe I should have a chat to Mrs @chartrock, and bring her upto speed with all the current trends and ideas. Only fair after you purchased that new caravan I think. Ha.
From Joiners all around this fair land, can I add to our our cheerful xmas message ........ "gotcha"!!!!!

@Crusty181 keep away from my place then, the rumblings of a kitchen reno have been sounding for ages and I keep finding excuses, pack up van and go to beach is a good distraction.
Did have an idea to redo laundry with cupboard and bench top with dishwasher and front loader underneath, other day washer blows up so we end up with a top loader, so thankful that I had decided to put off reno until later. Kitchen needs to happen soon though will have to wait till winter, be okay if I could do it in metal, not great with wood unless it's with a chain saw.

yeah, my other house needs the kitchen done - my son is 6'5"
and the bench tops are only 1000mm off the ground (why do they do that?????)
when I built this place (14yrs ago) - I made ALL benches 1500mm off the ground - (bathroom benches as well) - and the kitchen bench is 4000mm long -

You Joinery people have a lot to answer for. The worst thing ever invented is any form of particle board, closely followed by the evil Gyprock people. Proper timber, cement sheeting and brick/concrete are the ways to go, especially in the tropics and for rental properties. Currently dealing with a lot of kitchen cabinetry that will have to be replaced due to uncaring Tenants. It most certainly won't have provision for a dishwasher again as they don't care if the connection under the sink is water tight and don't plug it up when they have departed so the next one gets a nice wet set of cabinets.
