Thanks guys, Im the one with the silly sence of humur. Next up is a ceiling fan from that tree with the hanging branch near the fire place, I'll be able to place my chair under it, Plan to have it there and be sitting when my mates arrive. It's great to see and hear people enjoying the
shack, thats what we built it for, ALL. Yes the map, a lot of hours went into that just for some low life to steel it. had all the tracks not on map added and their GPS points added then laminated and placed on the wall. I still have my copy in my map roll if any lat longs are needed. we thought of a spa Phil, you can use the fish pond and a car exhaust.... you might get a bit greasy though!? The pond, I bring out a pump and fountain head and a green pond light, conecteted to a battery and solar panel. that turns heads in
the desert. It's great to sit and enjoy the view with all sorts of birds comming in for a drink. I just got back from out there, did a reno on the
water tank tap on the wall, the tap
seat used to get stuck, so I swapped it with a Ball valve type. as long as people turn off the main
gate valve on the tank when finished we're happy. Thanks to who ever put up the small A frame over the shower for those who use a solar shower, been meaning to do that. The shower is set up to use one of those Primus instant gas hot water showers. so if you have one, take it along for a great desert shower.
Next year we have to replace the old section of the
shack, unfortunatly those little wood eating buggers have done a great job in their book. so we are gathering up bits and peices as we can get them. we are going to extend the big roof same height back over the original timber section which has been there for 20 years now.
