Yeah country life is the bomb!  I paid $152000 for this block 10 years ago....  2800 square metres which is not huge but plenty for me!  The shed is the first thing I built!  Number one requirement of moving back to the country from Melbourne was a decent shed.  Priorities!

Jesus...

I paid $1.2m for 270m^2 LOL

I know what it looks like, didn’t realize you paid over a mill for it

I'm enjoying these updates! I don't think I'll ever own a pool so I'm living vicariously through your thread.

And that is one super cute puppy!

Didn't think I ever would to be honest!  Can't wait till summer to finally get some enjoyment out of it after slaving away for the last few months and slopping around in mud!  I've destroyed my body in the process (2 X hernias, ankle is rooted, tweaked my back, etc, etc).  I think it was worth it....

Yeah Ollie (dog) is a bloody legend!  Groodles (Golden Retriever / Standard (tall) Poodle) are an awesome breed.  Don't moult fur, awesome demeanour (super affectionate but good guard dog) and due to their super soft coat they're really nice, soft and fluffy dog to pat.  They do need trimming twice a year and need a bath every now and then as because they don't moult they can get a bit gamey!  Awesome with the kids too.  They dress him up and do all sorts of weird shit to him! 🤣  He just lies of the floor and gives them cuddles.  Loves, no DEMANDS a bloody pat, jesus he's a clinger....  

Other than that, amazingly loyal, affectionate dog!  We'll get another one soon.

I don't think we are too far apart in age!

However hats off to you sir, I would have just paid someone these days. Heck, I paid someone to put a motor into my car because I CBF.

I'm 45, feeling 65 at the moment....

Unfortunately my Dutchness has not yet eroded to the point where I'm capable of paying any one, to do any thing!

I'm hoping the Dutchness starts to wear off more quickly now!  Says the guy that just ordered the dearest and most difficult exhaust material in the world to weld properly....

 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Should be a wild learning curve for you!

I stopped at mig welding, that's as far as my welding abilities goes to

I need that shed in my life, all I could fit in my yard was a 6 x 3, it’s nice, but not big enough. 
and I got a 22 year old son that’s also into cars, so I got his shit as well as mine. 
we just installed billet drive shafts into his turbo BRZ. So tomorrow he can help me get the dash pad out of the GTR

Problem with a big shed is you accumulate a LOT of shit. I keep building add ons to my shed to fit more shit...

Main shed is 14x8m, then I added another 3x8m to the right of it.  Then I built another shed down the side of the house for the mower and garden shit, it's about 4x4m.  Then I built another shed off the back of the main shed for concrete mixer, Kubota tractor, rotary hie, etc and its another 11x2.5m.  I've got a lot of sheds on my place....

Can never have too many however! 

Awesome that you can work with your son on cars! Hopefully I trust mine enough one day!

Ha ha, yeah maybe!  I’d rather my kid be into cars than sucking on the glass BBQ!  As they say, if you’re into cars you don’t have any money left for drugs!

My 12 year old son is only just starting to show a bit of interest in my car recently. He loves it when I bring fast Audis home from work but hadn’t really cared about the GTR till recently. A few years ago I took him for a few (brisk…) rides in an RSQ8 we had on loan from Audi head office and since then he’s hooked on speed!  The good speed….

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

True, cars cost more than your average glass BBQ setup lol...

As humans, we are all addicted to something!

Probably wouldn't mind if my son is into building robots, etc. however he's only 2.5 lol... A while to go 😂

@Dose Pipe Sutututu at least he's got a head start on being clever, he's Asian! 🤣
