It certainly is your peer, you are almost as big as it.

Don't let it pressure you into doing things you wouldn't normal do.......... like 60min subs.

That's the Xmas (chocolate) bulge. I can only hold my breath for 10s.
60min? Now you're dreaming...

!? .. You must be (color) blind. Stop doing what you're doing. No Obs for me. No point. Too much LP. Besides I like getting out of Sydney.

Was the art work how you managed "planning permission"?

Nope. Emilie did what she wanted with it. The relocation of the original clothes line leaving a big hole was what sweetened the deal for the pier.

For sure ... Everytime I get out and the weather is good enough for a long drive. This is only saving me time setting up when I'll do Ha from home. That's the idea anyway.

I made the mistake of showing this to my family - now both my kids are assembling the paints to have a crack at my pier!

Thanks Mark. My steel fabricating skills are next to nil which is why I went the concrete way. I have no power tooling.

Hehe... yeah it's fun. They'll love it. Thanks to Cristian who recommended the polyfila for the finish then Berger Jet Dry undercoat. The rest is spraycans from bunnings and a last coat of polyurethane weather shield.
