Congrats with your new Grenadier.
Did you sell the other one?

I just drove home at night for the first time.
Screen is very bright with no quick and easy way to turn it down that i could find.
View out is fantastic and standard headlights are good.
High beam is extremely good. (for high beam)
I added the driving lights and couldn't see much difference at all.
What I could see when I hit high beam was so many Kangaroos on the side of the road.
It is comforting to know I have front and side protection bars.
Easily over 50 roos in a 10 km stretch right on the side of the road.
3 in my driveway when I pulled in.

Yes the screen is bright,but there is an adjustment for the screen and the switch panel but you are right it not easy while you are driveing

If you are from the local council the shed will only be used as a workshop and garage.
Once the council has inspected it

If not then it will be a man cave inside as well as a workshop and occasionally parking vehicles if we go away.
Marine carpet
As I work from home it will also be my office and there will be a store room where we will store a bed and wardrobe.
It will have a 3/4 size pool/snooker table
A 75 inch TV
Theatre seating
A bar
Out front in the enclosed area will be a dining area and comprehensive BBQ's and smoker.
A separate relocatable hut will be added to the side with a shower/toilet and sink. As this is on a skid and is not permanent it won't need council approval.

The shed is larger than our small 120 square metre house however we plan to add a 84 square metre enclosed verandah on the rear of the house in 2-3 years.
Our house also needs a new roof so we will move into the shed whilst that happens (unless again you are from the council)

I just checked it: the rear left is the one with the lowest pressure as told by others before.

I'll have an eye on it.

Last Train Home to Dave's new home in his Grenadier. Love this incredible song by Pat Metheny. My wife and I are going to Santa Barbara to see him play tonight at the Lobero Theater. Will be thinking of Dave when they play this song. Enjoy. DaBull

Went to the local markets and picked up 12 golden cane palms.

You may have to resort to the old school option

No technical changes, absolutely identical car down to the washers.

No problems so far, but I will write a short review in the "First Impressions" thread.

After we planted the 12 palms around the yard my next job was to install a new cupboard in the bathroom.
i decided on a new timber top for the cupboard and so went to the front verandah to cut it to size.
My friend decided to help
Honestly not a lot of help.
