Roof iron on first half and todays rain shows that the guttering works. Work will slow down again as the tractors are needed elseware.

Default Roof on

Robert, nice of you to build a special shed for the cab 12!

As for security, we'll need at least a double electrified fence with lots of razor wire, also a minefield would be good... perhaps some field artillery pointing at the main gate would be helpful too.

I'll rustle up some forward air controllers in Bird Dogs to maintain a standing watch and we can always call in an airstrike if anyone from a certain former centre of the cab 12 universe should come sneaking in.

We all now know Yaven Ck is the new centre for the cab 12 universe based on quality not quantity. (AWM excepted)

Cool

But a cheaper defence would be to chuck a couple of half starved king browns in the cab, a nest of paper wasps under the bonet and park it over a nest of red jumpers

Good thinking Robert

At least the snakes would keep the Canucks at bay. They turn into jelly uttering soulds more appropriate to 5 year old girls when our wilder wildlife is near.

Perhaps we should think of breeding some redbacks, white tails and even wolf spiders in the cab.

Unhappy Mud

It's been too wet to work at Bettys so the shed is coming along nicely. Keith I agree the shed would be great for CMP's but Vicki saw your post and threatened us both with rabbit traps applied to bring tears to the eyes At the moment we would need 4WD to get into the shed. I have regressed and am playing in mud again
