  • Kitchen window. About 2x3 metres if I remember right.

    We had a trampoline in our backyard, outside the kitchen so mum could watch us while cooking or whatever. There was a huge hill (our house was in a bit of a mountainous area), and we decided to throw some rocks down the hill and bounce them off the trampoline… but we were uncoordinated 10 year olds so we missed every time. And it was just a bunch of little stones gathering in our backyard.

    Then I found one rock. Pretty big, had to lift it with two hands and shot-put it down the hill. That was the one that we finally landed on the trampoline. And it bounced right through the kitchen window.


  • I typically log in to facebook a couple times a month to see if anyone sent me any messages.

    But then I check it frequently during crises. Our town (small regional town out in the bush) has a community group that shares location and severity of bushfires or storms, local power outages, missing animals, emergency calls, criminal activity (break ins, theft of equipment, suspicious behaviour like unfamiliar vehicles parking outside their house, etc).





  • Absolutely I knew the aesthetics wouldn’t be good, Those “nicer” boards were just someone’s offcuts I got, so you’re not far off with that assessment. I’ve never used a stain before, so don’t have anything on hand. For finishing, I just have walrus oil (free sample from the hardware shop) and shellac available, but If I had some money I would have gone uniform timber all over.
