Thanks guys :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I'll be ok as my health issues are manageable to a degree, however mrs Mac's father is more serious and will be in hospital for a few more days at least :angry-banghead:

It appears it's a reinfection from a white tail spider bite, being so close to his brain is the cause of concern as they don't want the infection going there as it would be life threatening if it (the infection) reaches the brain.

Weird thing is he was bitten on the arm 6 months ago, none of us thought this could happen from that :wtf:

We just got word from the hospital that pop can come home for a couple hours on xmas day for lunch if he keeps improving, but he will only be allowed out for 3 hours, :happy-partydance:

Good to hear mate. White tails are nasty bastards, my old man copped a bit a few years ago and it knocked him around, and he was a healthy 40 year old bloke...

Don't panic about FSD or the site, just look after your family mate. Business can wait, health is number 1!

Well finally after all the xmas palava mrs Mac and I could finally start getting our store together, we still have a long way to go but thought you might like to see where we're up to after our container of freight arrived today.

So here's a little teaser.

IMG_0301.JPG


Those 4 boilers on the right are the 100L some guys have been waiting for and are all sold, the 4 to the back on the left are 70L and were ordered in as stock with one being sold already, so only three of those are available.

We still have a lot of work to do before the official opening in a few days time, a lot of gear still needs unpacking and so on.

Cheers,

A very thirsty Mac.

they sure are mate, could only fit 3 on the boiler, might have to pull a tile out and get a scissor lift to build the rest :laughing-rolling:

Looking good Mac,
I'm hoping my name is on one of those boilers. If so, I'll come find you when the store opens.
