Im at a stall point for now, Feb is going to be cash tight with my 40th and Alexander's 5th birthdays.
However Repco has a special on trailer parts this week. Got a jockey wheel for 50 bucks. I might sell a rifle :thumbdown:

I will hopefully get trailer reg and suss out the cheapes aluminium laminate out there and get it in for march.
I have also got to aquire some lighting for inside. Got the lights sorted for trailer, just need to fit em (temporarily)

well it is 2300hr and I just finished measuring up timber for my wiley window frames.
There was a skip of free wood down the road, it was all broken sheets of fibre board except for one piece of heart rimu!
(my triangle pieces for the wiley windows).
I will cut them tomorrow (slowly)
I also drew up my wedges for the windows. Pics will be up after Ned posts his pictures up!

I need to find some door locks, will normal house mortice locks be OK? Im seeing caravan locks for $90 each and house locks are a fraction of that price

I've got a shitload of aged rimu, kauai , Totowa , and kahikatia in Auckland I'd sell.
I think it would be to hard to bring here.
I've got 25mm ×3500 mm boards with paint on one face lots of it.
100x150 kauai and Totowa.
100 x 100 kauai rimu and Totowa plus a reasonable amount of tapa tng

I can't see a problem with that. I used household catches for my hatch and a garage tilter door handle, then connected them with some s/s fishing trace. Still working fine. Did you see what Jeff used on the side door for bantam?

Good thought Dale, but you need to check post costs from Oz first, it is "b" expensive, usually more than the item is worth.
