    Hi...

    We live south of the city on rural property.

    The 7.1 in September 2010 is what did the damage to our place, but it's nothing compared to some places in the eastern suburbs and CBD. It's just annoying putting things on hold for over a year now waiting to find out the who what when of repairs, or not.

    I work about 7k's from the epicenter of the two most destructive aftershocks (Feb 22nd and June 13th) and all I can really say is that earthquakes are not fun and I will never work or live in a masonry building.

    Anyway, where's your Workshop photos?

    Took a while but here is my little garage, nothing like the big boy's garage but it's home. I've got a universal mill in there too.
    My sons and I have done a lot of building in my shop over the years, machines, lathe and mill work, restoring my classic car, rebuilding my motorcyles, making 2 axis cnc turning machines etc.
    My boys learned to machine and weld at a young age at home. We used to have much bigger equipment but that went into my sons machine shop business so now I have small lathe and mill to tinker on in my retirement.

    Cheers

    Nice tidy looking shed you've got there.

    I scored some metal kitchen drawer sides so I'm in the process of making up some cabinets to get my mess more in order.

    I'll take a 'panorama' photo of the 'before' tonight so we can see how it goes.

    Cheers, Me.
