Hey John whats the temp we expecting down your way? is it polar fleece weather as Allen says?

Cool no worries thanks heaps John.

Not long now!

Well maybe if you've got the floor space we won't worry about the caravan? if its easier for you though we can do that?

Yeh i'd love to see one of your guitars too Allen but i'd have to agree with you there. something that would worry me too is the stupid dude throwing my guitar around cause he doesn't care two bits. Scary thoughts.

Well i'll have certainly have a bo peep at your uke though!

Thanks for the welcome Stu From Vic!

Havent built anything as yet but the plans are in the mix should get them finalised soon then onto wood but just starting out with all of it. Getting tools together and all that sort of stuff. Waiting for my house to be built to give me workshop space should be another 6 months or so hopefully. But ...

Yeh good call! i dunno if termites would have as good an effect as the toredo bugs!

My first name is Keegan too. Thanks for the howdy!
