[abbo]

[Sadam_Husain]

Nah I dont think I'll be there for this one...... Ummmm hang on.... yeah why the hell not, Yep I'll be there

Hey Jerry, I think the dates for this may be conflicting with the Riversdale trip on 1/2 March that most people are going on?

Weasels Riversdale trip press here

[Jerry]

I booked the date first

This date is tentative and may just be preping the ground for the concrete etc, should know in 2-3 days hopefully , the next free date after that is 2 weeks later

[curly12]

Two weeks after would suit me better............

[Jerry]

Yep but we need 2 weeks to get the concrete laid so I thought a day prepping the site with a digger and boxing it up, 2 weeks later its ready to assemble

[wgtnnewbie]

can't make this one work is doing it's stocktake that day...

[Cloggy_NZ]

Count me in,
Can I bring my Bob The Builder toolkit?

[Jerry]

Yep... you might get a bit cold wearing just that or rather sunburnt

Just had some more thoughts...perhaps we can make a box in the fire plate thingy so we have a dutch oven or something ie something we can shove a roast in ??? any idea's on this??? you might know about these dutch things Cloggy

On the plan is to convert some degassed LPG cylinders into a beer fridges either ice powered or cold dam water powered, these will sit in the corner or in new bench seating, need to have a think about what gear we need to do this job and will need to test them thoroughly afterwards of course

[Cloggy_NZ]

Are those bricks gonna be safe in the fire place?
Would have thought they would need to be proper fire bricks. The thing gets hot enough to melt glass after all. Those standard bricks might crack and disintegrate possibly collapsing the hot plates if you were thinking of holding those up with them bricks.
Just a thought, I could well be wrong.

[taz01]

true never thought about fire bricks maybe make steel brackets for them too...............

[abbo]

so on this one we boxing and pouring the floor Did the rear of the hutt end up getting leveled and is that going to be part of the pour??? where abouts is the boxing comming from

I will bring the firebricks, you could fit the whole cooking area in our main oven
Have a few left over from the last oven I imported from canada...

[Jerry]

I will bring the firebricks

I hope thats not your cooking you are talking about there I guess Saddam will eat anything that you put on a plate for him to eat

[Jerry]

FYI the holdup confirming dates is Paul getting back to me with what is required, I will be posting up this list to see what can be donated or got trade, and what tools we need. we are looking at doing the concrete and getting the framing up over 2 weekends..

Will be lookng for any useful bits ie Marks old kitchen bench etc, the cheaper we can get the stuff the more we can do up there which will make our trips up there better.

More soon.....

[badnuz]

[badnuz]
