I was going to say that you will be using this at dinner parties at the Rowley residence, but Unions is much more suitable for after dinner talk...

Though I am led to believe by the films that I watch Union that most Dutch people are naked, especially washing machine repair men for some reason...

by **seanmichaels** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 9:39 am

They're naked because they have no clean clothes?

by Rowley Mon 13 Oct 2014, 9:39 am

I am northern Rick, they would be tea parties (not in a Sarah Palin mental sense)

I would expect washing machine repair men to have lots of clean clothes, as their washing machines would be in a good state of repair.

Fair point Jeff, arthropod facts are much better than long boring conversations against gun control and hunting.

by Rowley Mon 13 Oct 2014, 9:46 am

Can only speak for myself Rick but I would much prefer to discuss gun control than insects. Not with some of the more committed members of the NRA though, they scare me a little bit.

You should see some of the more committed fans of insects.

Apparently, more people choke on the packaging that sweets come in rather than the sweets themselves.

Which goes to show that gums don't kill people, wrappers do...

That deserved better, Rick.

by **seanmichaels** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 10:31 am

That is a good one. In the memory bank for the next social.

by Rowley Mon 13 Oct 2014, 10:32 am

I enjoyed it Tina, but since only superfly acknowledged my nil by mouth zinger the other week I am disinclined to make a fuss over other people's punnery, no matter how good it may be.

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 10:35 am

I would have acknowledged your nil by mouth zinger Jeff, but professional jealousy prevented me from doing so. I'm not proud of myself for that.

rick's, on the other hand, I simply didn't think was that great.

I don't recall the nil by mouth one, sorry.

by **seanmichaels** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 10:36 am

How's strictly going chaps? Haven't caught an episode yet.

I didn't think it was great, it just deserved better than complete indifference.

by **rIck_dAgless** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 10:38 am

Jeff I was not around for the nil by mouth one I think, but I undestand your consternation.

Jules, thanks for feedback, all constructive criticism is welcome..

Tino thanks for your support...

sean, I hope it goes better for you in your telling...

by **Union Cane** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 10:38 am

In all honesty I thought your nil by mouth zinger was a bit rude, and way below the cultural bar that we set ourselves here. You are not Sean, for phuck's sake.

As for Rick's, didn't really understand it.

It's alright, not really bothered about the early stages much, doesn't really get going for me until they weed out some of the deadwood and novelty contestants.

Who rattled your cage? I am very cultural. In a discussion with a work colleague last week I was able to reel off the latin name of a plant we were discussing (Dogwood aka Cornus Alba).

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 10:55 am

Can anyone see my badge or has it got all phucked up?

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 10:56 am

Hang on, now I can't see sean's badge either.

Who is this?

by **rIck_dAgless** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 10:56 am

Badge is phucked at my end Jules, but work restrictions mean that most are.

by **Union Cane** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 10:59 am

Yours is phucked at this end Jules, but everyone else (apart from Rick of course) 's is ok. My avatar thingy went like that when I changed it to my shed, I presume it is ok now but nobody has said anything so I can't be sure.

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 11:04 am

Maybe it's because sean & I have a picture, not a proper badge. If Adam were in any way IT competent I'm sure he'd sort it out quickly.

by **Union Cane** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 11:05 am

Were he that it would already be sorted, for sure.

by **Pal Joey** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 11:09 am

Yours looks like a letterbox from here, Union... but maybe I need to zoom in more?
What's the blueish-grey thing above the horizontal slot? The roof? Looks very well proportioned.

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 11:11 am

You won't find anyone with a more well proportioned shed roof than Union. I've often said that about him.

by **Pal Joey** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 11:13 am

I wish I had a dentist like Gerrie Nel.
Not that my teeth are bad or anything. It's just that I'd feel my choppers were in safe hands.

Sorry I'm late lads. Had to go buy the tickets I forgot to buy this weekend
It's oppressively hot in the Republic. 31 Celsius I'm told.

by **Union Cane** Mon 13 Oct 2014, 11:23 am

Your badge is phucked as well raf, something is afoot.

Yay!

And for the record, I am sticking with my 5 years suspended sentence, with some community gubbins for Ozzie

by kingraf Mon 13 Oct 2014, 11:33 am

I'm sticking with 8-12, just don't know how much could be suspended. Going with five suspended

Except I'm only kidding. I bet it looks great in the flesh. I've got one being built at the moment.

Shed - herringbone struts:

Shed - raked roofline:

The bricks need cleaning obviously. There is the ubiquitous "Colorbond" metal deck roof & deep fascia to go on the top. Driveway and covered walkway will be off to the left along with a low maintenance lawn area. The pool will be off to the right... the small ladder is "in the deep end". The skip got emptied today. There may be some spiders tucked away up in that back left corner... near the piles of wood.

Shed - about 2 weeks ago:

Shed - view from top:

Can see the top 1/3 of the bridge (just to right of this picture) It's a pity they built that bloody gondola in front of the house though!

Frank Lowy bought it so it's now called Westfield Tower. I've always (and still do) call it Centrepoint.
I'm about 16km (10 miles) away. You can see for miles from up there. Port Jackson looks stunning from there as well.

Thinking of putting a pond of some sort in later down the side of the house.

I've spend a considerable amount of time and money de-greening the site. Taken down about 35 trees and shrubs. Some nice ones (unfortunately) but also many nasty ones with massive root systems which tended to strangle everything around them. Wink

I'm still digging those phuckers up! It was a jungle out there you know!

I've always intended to put some greenery back... but low maintenance stuff. I'm so sick of chasing leaves. You really need shade here for most of the year or else you get fried very quickly.
