The written wish list

G'day.

Here's a tip that's not only related to woodwork, it's just that in my case, 4 of the 5 things I put on the list were woodwork related.

Make a wish list. :rolleyes:

Make it realistic, putting a mute blonde with big assets whose father owns a pub on the list is not realistic. :D
Don't bother putting things on it that you know you can buy tomorrow if you really need it.
Don't bother putting stuff on it like 'win lotto'. :cool:

Write it down & put a date on it & put it in a safe place.

4 years ago I made a list of 5 items that I wanted to get in the next 5 years.... I just crossed the last one off, I've got the lot now. :)

The last item was my new DC1200 & pleated filter & it was the cheapest item on the list. ;)

It works, it gives you something to focus on, you can pull it out & cross stuff off as you get it or if you change your mind & you can add stuff to it.

Try it, you've got nothing to loose.
Just make it realistic, set a time frame, put it in writing, & you'll do it.

You missed the most important step, Cliff: then give it to your wife and tell her "this is what I want for Christmas" ;)

Oh damn!




Cliff you had the patience to wait 4 years for a DC!!! Well done.

Could have been that he had nogthing to connect a DC to :D or a shed (been there done that).
Win Lotto, after 2 big wins I don't bother anymore, $16.00 & $25.00.

Would it be realistic enough if I wish the blonde's father leased a pub?

I know what you ment?
It's sometimes great to philosophical, particullarly about the acheivements one makes.
I agree with you, several years ago I gave up the grog , wild women etc, etc and am now the proud owner of three (3) blocks of land in down town Condamine (2500m3 each). By the end of this year I will have my "dream shed" plonked on one of these blocks.

By the way, how big is a dream shed?

Well, you learn something new every day on this forum; I never realised that Condamine had a downtown :)

Obviously Rocker you where Condamine is! The center of the universe!!!!!!!
I used to live at Woodford and did all of my high schooling at Caboolture.
Yes I must admit, Elimbah has a "down town",but is at at the Beerburrum end or Caboolture end?
Condamine's got a pub!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (it's own)

I know a bit about Condamine.............. I was on my way to visit relatives in Biloela and decided to stop there and have a picnic lunch............ The flies and the BIG, BIG ants weren't real bad but as we sat down to eat, a truck drove past very slowly allowing the Elephants (Yes, Elephants!)on the back to tear branches off the tree we were sitting under........ Tends to make one remember Condamine..........

About 50% bigger than what you thought when you started building it :D

Mine's 6m x 9m & 4m high at the peak with 3 rollers doors & 3m verandahs on the long sides.

I think I'm going to have to get a couple of shipping containers to store my timber in. :)

I'm trying to track some of them down. There was a guy advertising in the local paper last year but he has disappeared. Any ideas on where to get one (or three)? I initially want one so I can store all my tools and stuff in while the new shed is getting built. I thought it would then make a good storage/wood shed down the track.
