Think a little lower, mate. Like Culpeper area. If you're coming up 95, all you have to do is hang a left at Fredericksburg. Take Route 3 about 20 minutes west. I have 50 acres right on the scenic Rappahannock River. By all means stop by. There's always cold beer and hot food. I got six horses for trail riding, a shooting berm for rifle and pistol action, and a nice hill I shoot skeet off of. Just send me an email if you feel like stopping by.

Come to think of it, there's a Raymond Childress that owns a pile of land just up the street from me. Has a big black angus operation. Nice old guy. Once bred my heffers for me. Any relation?

You must have me mistaken for a Kiwi I won't claim any relation to any man who will breed with Heifers. :eek:

In any event, I always go up 29. Culpeper is just up the road a piece from Barboursville, where I will be visiting family. If not this time, then next.

when i had power run to my shed, i got 3 quotes $800, $1200 and $2000. I took the cheapest - was from a Grey Army sparky. I dug the trench etc, got a safety switch in the shed and at the fusebox, shed has its won fuse box too, so all good for safety.

Only thing i should have done, was run a 15amp circuit :mad: Oh well.

Hey Wild Dingo, I was just kiddin' you when I said I didn't understand you. Clear as mud, mate. You want a picture of my tiki bar? Build one of these in your back yard. Right next to the billabong. It's always beer o'clock here. Although I prefer a nice ale over watered down Budweiser.
The next shot is a how to on how to find your wiring. I'm on Christmas holidays here and my better three quarters has been whining about not wanting a certain wall in the house. Keeps talking about how she would just like it gone. So I walk in yesterday morning with a sledge hammer and a reciprocating saw. You shoulda seen her eyes! Two hours later the wall is gone and I'm sending her for a broom and a dust bin. I got more work ahead of me patching things up and all but the wall is no more.
Maybe she'll think twice before complaining about those picture windows. One good dining room chair should handle one of those! You ever get to Washington, you stop in and have a beer. We'll cook a pig. (I raise pigs and black Angus cattle, you know)

Two things wrong with the Tiki Hut mate which rules out building one here in Oz. Firstly, there's not enough water here to fill a crapper let as lone a bloody pool, and Second, because there's no water the grass don't grow so that rules at a grass hut. Looks nice though.

In that case, hang a right on 3 when you get to Culpeper. You'll only be 15 minutes from me. The offers always good. Shoot me an email to let me know you're coming. Bring the family if you have little ones. I gots loads of farm animals and horses and kids always like that.

Shane, just finish the wiring up of my shed. A mate who is a sparky did it for me in exchange for my labouring at his reno of his new house. I supplied the parts etc, did the labouring, he did the sparky bits.
In a 6x3m garage, 2x twin 4 footers and a single 4 footer make the entire garage bright. 3 twin "Lifesaver" power points and an Arlec 6 point daisy chain gives me juice around the shed.

32amp breaker at the house, sub board in the garage, 2x 20amp power and a 16amp light circuit. Enough for me now as I do not have any large stationery machines. If I need to upgrade later on . . . I 'll get him to help me again.

You won't know yourself after not having to run the power cord out to the shed, and the beer fridge is on all the time

fair set of termites youve got cisco

sometimes I think the only reason I come here is to find some of shedheads postings.... his fantastic writing style's giving me lots of laughs.... even shared some with my overseas friends.... just to give them a bit of a shocktreatment! lol
Being a new ( 2 1/2 years) Aussie I've still got a lot to learn, in the meantime am having fun confusing people.... a couple of days ago one lady thought she heard italian in my accent, another said canadian...... lol
makes for great conversation starters.
Wish I could say that one day I'll sound like shedhead writes! I do hope you real Aussies are teaching your kids not to pick up American english... be such a shame.
