  After driving through dense forest you suddenly come to my stone gate.

  Before I could get building approval, I had to clear 8 acres of forest for when the bush fires come.

  Now beware the place is pretty messy - I've been away for most of the past year.

  The work ahead - logs to be milled (they're much bigger than they look - average 800mmm wide and over 5 tons weight)

  Dams to build, house to erect ..terraces to plant out with pinot noir .. hic..

  I lived in this bush humpy for 3 years - I had no idea building approval would take so long.

  Used to sit in there mid winter potbelly raging in one corner, me internet raging in the other lol.

  I found at that you can build anything up to 5mx3m without council approval so I build this little

  building and will finish it off and be living in it shortly while I get on with building the main house.

  I call it the Tardis because its bigger inside than you'd think..

  This building was an interesting experiment using mostly scrounged materials.

  The beams were the first time I had done "draw bore with timber pegs".

  I just need a bed in the corner and I'll be comfortable.

  Heeeey how many of you have your bedroom on show! lol

  I love timber and am quite proud of the way it cleaned up (it came covered it cow and sheep crap).

  since i left the "truth" a couple of things have changed in the teachings back down at the kh, notably the generation thing and the whole kings of the north and kings of the south thing.. now i really really don't want to have to push that "gimme a bible study" button on watchtower.org so can someone here explain to me how they got around changing the generation thing and what does the generation refer to now and who are the kings of the north and south this week?.

  Geez, slugga you don't think maybe you're the king of the North?

  Thing of the South, unclebruce

  *Applies to Tathra council for planning permission to build a KH on a certain hill next to a certain PINK humpy and asks for special permission to fix external speakers to blast out Kingdom Melodies*

  Anyone wanna identify the kings and the north and south though.

  I didn't know that they changed it or said who they were!

  When I was active they believed that the two kings / world powers where the USSR and the British Empire, which included America. Since I left the USSR has crumbled and formed loads of tiny little countries so I assumed that this no longer counts. I just wondered if there had been any "new light" on this matter.

  I checked out Tathra, it looks a really nice place, loads to do there if you're into sea sports and wild life. I once wasted a few weeks in Sydney and was never so bored in my life, I wish I'd known about that place I'd have gone there instead.
