well i would guess at some point that it was a garage , but it had been converted to a granny flat , lined , carpet , running water with sink

no its not the actule house i think the mrs would kill me if i tried to do this inside , although at one point it was all inside i have the pics some were , and i used to get old off the noise was to much so i kicked her horse gear out of here amd took over this room im in now and i have free rain , although i think i am going to need to extend soon , lets see how the land lord takes that !!!!!!LOL

And my wife complains that I spend way too much time on the computer, god . . . . . I am glad I don’t have a substantial amount of spear money to play with, I just don’t know if I could cope with her whinging if I had 3 computers and that many radio’s

ahh your looking at all from the wrong angle ....

you let the mrs do or spend what she wants , then when you want a new radio you get it , then when the complaining starts you just tell her how much she has wasted on her stuff .... justice and democracy .... its great

i have made a few small changes and will post up the pics when i can ......

few more antennas as well , the yard is looking like pine gap .....
