So these last few days under vehicles and the resulting back and knee pain has made me decide to build a small shop.

Nothing huge. 20x30 would do. Heat and cooling would be a must. Upgrade to a nice welder. Get a cutting torch or maybe a plasma cutter. Various tools like arbor press, drill press, small metal brake and such.

I've got all the hotrod goodies at my shop at work, hand tools a-go-go, - two big Engine lathes (8 & 12 ft beds), a horizontal and a vertical mill - all the metal cutting/welding equipment a guy would ever need. An industrial sand blaster & a zinc flame spray setup. Etc. . .
When I come home - I don't get metal splinters cause I'm done with that shit. :smile:

My previous job experience is her 5 yr old sister.

ETA: yes she was born with a full head of dark brown hair, and believe it or not, she'll be light blonde at 2, if she takes after her sister.
Sweet. When they start school, you can open an exclusive hair salon to the Stars ;)

Finally sorted the shit out with my banking app, and discovered I have more money than I thought and I must still get paid for the harvest that is curing.
Happy days. I need new shoes.
I grew up in America so I know very little about South Africa. In fact my brain injects thoughts of District 9 into every one of your posts. It's kind of maddening reading that you need a new pair of shoes and what my brain envisions that entails.

I fucked up all my shoes. This last pair has holes and shit in man. I have used at least 3 tubes of shoe glue on it over the years.
