Had another fit of enthusiasm and have been busy again. Started off by building some material racks for the trailer.  They mean I can fork load material onto the trailer or put long pieces on without having to use boards across the sides. They're using the same pockets I installed for the cage that goes on the trailer too. Gives me the ability to move something thats 5.0x1.8M and around 1000kg! or if its centre line loaded, I can JUST fit a 6M long piece of timber on it. Which meant I could pick up some supplies and after nearly 4 years, finally build the last fence on our western boundary.    Man it changes the back yards look and feel. Its cut down a MASSIVE amount of wind blowing across the yard. Downside is its killed some of the breeze under the alfresco so i'll have to install a fan under there. Got one post to sink into the ground tomorrow morning with some rapid set concrete and then two more panels to install on the embankment above the tanks and then its all done. Then I have to install the return to the house and the gate, then a fence between the house and the workshop, then another gate between the workshop and the eastern fence and the back yard MIGHT contain the cats. For a while. And we made Yakisoba for tea to celebrate!

Goober Peas posted:I didn't pay attention to utilities the last time I was in AUS - are those propane tanks? I'm guessing you guys use those like we do Natural Gas?  Its actually a legit track name in one of our National Parks. Apparently there was a legit bootleg wine shanty along the track during the gold rush for people moving between the goldfields north and south of Adelaide. Couldnt pass up the opportunity when we pulled the old signs out to replace them!     Three cattes are definitely a sufficient number of cattes Yep. Theres an extensive natural gas network too, but thats confined to the major cities- I dont even have reticulated potable mains water where I am (40 odd km from the Adelaide CBD) so we're reliant on rainwater collection for the house supply and LPG tanks for gas needs. We only use ours for our stove and oven, so we get... 18 months or so out of a 45kg cylinder. Our neighbour has his stove, oven and instantaneous hot water running on his and he goes through a 45kg cylinder in about 8 weeks, at around $130 a tank! redgubbinz posted:Glad to see I wasn't the only one who got hungry after that AvE video. Unfortunately we dont have squirrels in Australia and Possums... well they're up there with Koalas for bad eating. Koalas allegedly taste so loving terrible that not even the aboriginal tribes used to eat the loving things!

cursedshitbox posted:HNNNNGHHHHHH. I'll fuckin' tradeja. 13C and wetter than gently caress :<. Someone decided that lunch outdoors was a good idea. Nothing quite says merry Christmas like your scrotum being stuck to your thigh while you wait for the roast to cool down from surface of the sun hot... May consider diesel swap. At least people might stop pulling out in front of me off if I drove a literal tank...

I wish diesel oil went on sale... at 11.4L per fill having to buy a 20L drum every 10K kms gets pretty expensive! Mate and I were sitting around drinking beer and thought "Man New Years Eve in the Birdsville pub would be a pretty awesome experience!" Maybe not...

Also depends if a cyclone has come thundering in down the gulf country and dumped 10 inches or so of rain, because then all the channel country floods out and you can have 40 degrees and 70% humidity up there. And roughly 2000 flies per square inch on any surface of your body.
