The containers and dome are for the slab at the workshop yard, glad I talked Margaret out of letting them tear that up, where would we have parked the Winnie and the fleet of vehiclessupersparky wrote: ↑Thu Oct 02, 2025 11:54 am Terry, are you planning to put the dome up in the old workshop site or at the house site. We have used those domes as site sheds at construction jobs for years. I reckon they are great. From what little I know, you will never get permission to park a container in a residential premises, but should have no issue in an industrial area. You may get a different answer if it is classed rural area though. Is the old workshop concrete floor still there?
Dot, that blue stuff is called Ad Blue. It is for late model diesels to do a particulate filter burn. It is not for your model engine.
Do NOT put it in your fuel tank. It is not a fuel additive.
Not drive George, swerve to avoid a head on collision ..... the first damage involving a tree was at maybe .5km/h as I was trying to squeeze between two trees .... I'm sure I would have waited for the kid on the bike to get out of the way before I attempted to dive between the kid on one side and a tree on the other, as far as the second incident, I would never have attempted to overtake a bike while in the same lane .....Newcastle George wrote: ↑Thu Oct 02, 2025 12:08 pmTerry, you did manage to drive that close to a tree, so, chances are.

Think about what you just posted Jon, would you try to pass a cyclist with a vehicle approaching from the other direction?jon_d wrote: ↑Thu Oct 02, 2025 12:51 pm
No Terry. The other vehicle kept you in your lane.
If there was a cyclist there, they'd have no chance.
A glance from flat side is very different from a knife cut from extended steps.
You've already said the winnie is takes up a full lane.....
You are correct, I did it without a wide load sign signifying the load extended beyond the normal dimensions of the vehicle. The whole point is, I knew the steps were out, so I drove with that in mind, having driven wide loads a lot in the past, I knew the precautions .... should I have had a head on with the 4 X 4 that was half on the wrong side of the road, rather than hitting the tree with the step .... I decided the step was the better thing to sacrifice, maybe you would have made a different choice, who knows unless you are faced with the same choices ......
That seems to be one of the main differences between rural and suburban councils Bernie. Rural don't seem to bother about a lot of things, suburban just want to fine you if it's there for more than a day or two.
