good excuse to get away from the orchard.
Will try to work out the quickest way to amberley, through Logan is the best isn't it?


Do you need any tools brought along or do you have everything, wood butchering tools thats is, thats what i have been trained in in a previous life.

Yep wood butching tools would be good, we need to recess the mains box and some power cables. And SWMBO will want to talk to you about a kitchen and cupboards and a bathroom and a deck and new windows and a new room on the house and an avairy and a and some shelves, and a wall unit, and some stairs and the kitchen sin.. oh wait that would be part of the kitchen.....

Interesting, it wouldn't be an ex def house by any chance.


john

Why do you need a genset? Is it for 3 phase or you are living elsewhere and don't have the power on yet?

We have one that is way overkill but it is a bit far away anyway.

I just saw this quote and assumed it was a rental -
' as to the profile update I'll do that when im in my own place...'

Dave: In a past life i was an electronics installation techo, get the cables ready or if you need I'll load up with what I have, there's a lot of kilometres of all sorts of stuff.

Give us a further run down of what is already onsite, I take it you're yet to get power as in 240v........

I'll trade you for some of those excess wheel bearings and hubs seals

GQ

need the gen set as the sparky will be wiring as we go and the power is out as we've just had the asbestos pulled out and the house harness looks like something that only lucas could design.

so to do the floor sanding in preperation for polishing the floorboards we need power.

quiggers NO WHEEL BEARINGS.... seals I can help ya with...

what have ya got you can lay on cable wise? were getting 3 phase in to deal with the load were likely to be throwing onto it (aircon, kitchen, HWS and the shed ) If youre likely to have stuff we can use to wire a house up (and im making the house network ready) drop me a PM by then I should have the list of what we actually need, but some kick ass 3 phase cabling to run to the shed would not go astray.


Im staying at my mates place so when we get the house on and get the net on and and and...

Sorry to far and I have the flu with secondary infections right now so am sort of quarantined.
Good luck

Dave, PM me with times etc when you have it sorted. I'll be free that day.
Will bring my laptop over with maps if you have something I can put them onto. Otherwise I'll burn DVDs before I come.

If anyone else comes that wants some Ozi maps you can have them too.
