Chinavirus - Holly guarding the front gates!

Start of new restrictions and self-isolation. No entry to visitors (posties exempt) but...depending on the mood of the residents you may be invited to stay...on the other side of the high gates to chat via video intercom and refreshments may be passed under the gates (don't count on that).

Holly happy to be out on extra guard duty.

Batman lights - first lot (part 6)

Still waiting for the LED strip lights to arrive in the meantime prepping everything up to that lighting stage. Also doing some thinking..due to the unique shape and compact layout these lights require more effort and dexterity to build. The main issue is that the LED strip lights on edge require additional support. Hot glue doesn't work and is risky so I end up cutting and shaping intricate pieces of MDF to support the LED strip which are the hot glued down. Then I cut and bend narrow crown staples into a U shape to hole the LED strip...phew.

Batman lights - first lot (part 4)

Another day in the workshop making Batman lights while most others are already not coping with self isolation.



Sprayed the first one so we can get on with the lighting using the only RGB LED strip kit I have in stock. Waiting for order of four to arrive - hope soon.

Another new toy for kitties.
