How did Taz cross the big water to you both ?

I have often wonder how Taz came in to your life ...

I all most got him a little brother or sister when I was last down at Tassie visiting all my old friends...

Thanks for that Goody. I'm sure Taz appreciates your thoughts. He was a twin and joined us on The Spirit of Tasmania in 2010. His twin was kidnapped by one of our better house sitters :argh: They all take something and on this occasion Taz's mate went.

Then it would have been like hitting your head
on a hanging flower pot then MB. :awful: O

At least you had an elevated work bench. erfect:

Awesome looking bridge :Y: :Y:

If I had any brains and a little forethought I'd have built the bridge before digging a bloody big hole under it.... :8

Phil,
Lookling good.
Do you need to get an inspection done by the swimming pool Nazis inn WA before you fill your hole with water/fish?

No, no need. I've read the act. It's not a pool or spar so is not covered under the regulations. Kids don't drown in dams or ponds I guess?

The fish pond has project has slowed a bit due to other commitments but we're still working on it. Now that the finishing coats of rubber lining are going on getting in and out of the pond has become difficult. The solution is to build a permanent ladder so I've been keeping my eye out for suitable materials.

The frame on this greasy pressure washer caught my eye.

The shape was good but I had to remove all the old bits that were welded on.

The tube diameter of the pressure washer frame was the same of some of the trampoline frame that I rescued from CueBunno last week for the quad rollbar. That meant the I had ladder rungs to suit already here.

Reusing material always requires a bit more work but that's to be expected. At least I have something suitable without having to travel to the coast to buy it.

Whatever it is Mrs M has a way of making it look good...

The end result is a nice easily scaled ladder that can stay in place.

Now what's next? Back to the whiteboard...I'm sure she has another job waiting for me...

Great work Phil & Mrs Moneybox.
No doubt she tends you when a blob of molten metal or slag tickles your toes through the Chinese working boots. :lol:

Mrs M came home a month before me and got the garden started.

Summer is on the way and that's always the time our garden is scorched by the hot dry winds. Hopefully this year will be different
