A New Start

Well, been a while - have to change the title of the build to Building A catamaran in inland Queensland.

We have relocated from Gove Northern Territory to Kingaroy in Queensland and now working a 7on - 7 off roster (Which is sooo much better than a 5 on - 2 off (if you are lucky)) out at Chinchilla. This means that I am spending 7 nights away from my home and family but have a full 7 days off at home. So far, my time has been taken up with un-packing, settling in and building all my work benches again.

Things are due to start in earnest, more than likely after xmas now, boy where did the year go????, and am looking forward to finally getting work done. So, where am I at???
  • New house on an Acre up in Kingaroy
  • No shed/workshop
  • Tools but no benches or work spaces.
I have a really good spot picked out for the build in the back yard. It is reasonably flat ground that will eventually house my workshop/shed but for now I will be going with a shelter along the lines of Puremajek and Martica. If money permits in the future, I may just build a shed around this.

Many thanks to all of the positive comments from everyone and especially to my wife for coming on board so to speak. Now I am in the real world, I will be looking forward to meeting a few of the other Easy Builders and being able to just duck down and see someone. (I am 2 hours to the Snells and about 2.5 hours from Marticia and Kjay (See www.diy-yachts.com ) and also only 1 hour to Dalby where there is an Easy 10.5SS being constructed. (Nice job too)
