The What Did You Do On The Weekend Thread!!

[bigcol]

. 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.

I had a tenant (previous to my son) who insisted on me putting in Dishwasher taps.........
I told them the rent would have to go up, to cover the cost of installation - have to re-plumb the whole kitchen

they all of a sudden didnt want dishwasher taps........ strange that..........

Ha @bigcol we have friends who are about 7ft tall and when we are in their kitchen we feel like Hobbits, I've practically got to stand on a box to see the top of the bench. We won't mention the dunny..........................

What about the fridge.

It was the bloody fridge that started it. It was replaced 12 months ago and stands there in all its stainless steel glory.

@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"!!!!!

All I can say to that @Crusty181 is, I'm lucky you are in Melbourne.

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.

No point making it out of lifetime products .... i have to pay for the new van. Just for record, i didnt invent particle board; and you cant make a kitchen out of cement sheet and concrete ..... it would last far too long

Took the kids out for a spin in the Triton through Wombat Forrest and Canadian Forrest for the afternoon and had a ball. It's a bit dusty though.

 

[crackacoldie]

This has been quite a few weekends in the making, almost finished now (well the paving). Next up is the lawn.

 

[cruza driver]

@17triton can you go back to that hill in winter and get a shot of your Triton doing the same thing

Was it busy on the tracks?

Funny thing is @cruza driver that hill is less than 1k from my house and thats the first time I have ever tackled it and theres no chance in the wet that I will go near it. But feel free to bring your monster truck up for a crack at it, I can point you in the right direction. And the Wombat forrest was pretty quiet where I went. I wasn`t tackling any big bog holes but found a couple of good tracks. It was my first time down there.
