Bathroom basin blocked

Al’s Workshop updates-

Al’s Workshop updates-
Batman is ready to fly away.
Rough Collie with remote control off to new home.
Hot Wheels sign is next up.

Hot weather slowed things down a bit with 40 plus temps in the workshop (down tools) but we are rolling again. While at Bunnings today bought a Arlec ceiling fan which I will install tomorrow.

Bunnings night lights

Heads up – Bunnings selling these and it’s the first time I’ve seen a twin version of this and $10 is a bloody good price.

ALDI – Garden misting system

This is the one I use in the cottage garden on hot days to keep the chooks cooled down. Some of the mist nozzles are blocked with mineral accumulation so I’m going to try cleaning them with white vinegar using the ALDI ultrasonic cleaner :-)
