Batman lights - first lot (part 7)

Now that the LED strip lights have arrived I can grab the first bat set off the bat pile and continue on working down that first lot of bat orders.

First set off the waiting bat pile is KEITH and ERIK.



Off we go...using standard T50 8mm staples to fix the LED strip to the MDF contour. Note that I DO NOT remove the backing which allows for shuffling the strip back and forth where they converge near the bat head and besides all that it not stick very well to MDF.




Old guy pensioner thriftiness - this pair of front MDF blanks were a bit short on height but we can still use them.

Hand sanitiser in short supply

Lucky to get a 400ml bottle of the stuff.

ET found two small squeeze bottles; I’m doing a transfer so we can keep one bottle in each of the cars.

Al's Workshop update

My first country property name sign enquiry came in this evening - from NSW.

Parcel deliveries

WOW... parcel delivery yesterday and other one just now...more Batman LED lights



System is working well hand appears over fence with slow release of package into dish washing tray then press of video intercom button followed with wave to ET who is usually on the balcony.

Aerosol spray paint

As posted running low on flat black spray paint and with Caribbean Market now permanently closed (bugger) where do I now get my spray paint for $1.50 a can – for 10.

Bought three cans from Bunnings during my shopping trip. Bunnings price $3.98 and SuperCheap Auto even more expensive @ $4.39

Al's Workshop update

The RGB LED strip lights have finally arrived !!!

After Easter shopping trip

Become the norm now to carefully plan each outing!

First to Brandon park to get two boxes of my favorite Malaysian $ Sri Lankan food from Martisz Kitchen before the close up - they were closed. Got some from my other favorite  one next door – Eastern Chinese. Off all the way to the other end to Home Ideas to get picture hardware but again already closed - reduced hours.

Off to Wheelers Hill shopping centre for the main shopping and got most of what was on the list, eggs and rice shelves nearly stripped. On the way out checked at the counter and was able to get hand sanitiser !!!

Then off to Bunnings Scoresby to get cans of spray paint and small wood screws. On the way in had to dodge a camera crew interviewing a staff member. On the way out got waylaid by the same camera crew wanting to interview customers so agreed to that. Basically questions about customer experience with Bunnings management of distancing and aisle monitoring with limit of four persons etc. along with do you think it's a good thing that Bunnings is still open for business,

This is simply just-in-case-mitigation that Bunnings and other big stores should shut down - not essential. Anyway for my time was handed a blank envelope that contained a $20 note !!!
