We can't afford pool boys here and have to throw leaves in ourselves . . . so, you still win.

I've been using it for years - FTP currently 362watts, 1 minute power - 600watts, Max - 1400watts. I did 402 watts for 14 minutes this year which I was very happy with.

Jesus H Christ man, that's practically Tour De France requirements.

The average pro cyclist is 400 watts.

You animal.

Back on topic though, I lost my man cave to our Bakery.

They don't call him Lance Slapper for nothing.

I see you've had to evict an unwanted guest from your mancave LT.
Rather them than me...

My eldest and a mate constructed a bench frame from an old pine bed and pallets..

The bar area is starting to take shape..

They also clad and stained the bottom half of the interior wall.

The remains of the pallets..

Him and his mates have already drawn up big plans for an extension next year which will house a pool table, toilet, stage with dancing pole...

^ Cheers for that mate.

It went up the wall trying to get into the roof cavity so I pulled it by the tail back down onto the ground.

They are ferking strong and I managed to keep it cornered until the troops arrived.

It's cool, the business end is like 300 yards away.

I've handled Snakes in OZ but this one was a monster!

Anyway all's well that ends well and the snake has found a new home around the lake.

**hallelujah** · 23-12-2021, 04:16 PM

It looks absolutely massive. I presume your house backs on to open land?

**Loy Toy** · 23-12-2021, 04:20 PM

On to a river Hal!

We have those massive water monitor lizards visit us regularly as well.

**hallelujah** · 23-12-2021, 04:28 PM

Bloody ell. I'd be watching where I stepped, I can tell you that!

**Loy Toy** · 23-12-2021, 04:35 PM

Bruno sorts the aliens out normally but he kept clear of that snake.

He is 56 kgs of Pitbull / Bull Mastiff muscle but he would not have lasted 5 minutes with that snake.

Yet you grabbed that tail!!!!!!!!

**Loy Toy** · 23-12-2021, 11:59 PM

Its head was already in the man-hole so not much risk.

I was amazed at how far it could extend its upper body unsupported.

Those water monitor lizards are far more dangerous.

**Joe 90** · 24-12-2021, 01:33 AM

Why didn't you kill it and start a new pie range?
Python Pie has a catchy sound to it.

**Loy Toy** · 24-12-2021, 01:57 AM

I hate to kill any of God's creatures mate but do wonder what the Thai guys done with it as they refused a monetary offer from my wife for their service.

That is the third Burmese python I have encountered.

**Joe 90** · 24-12-2021, 06:37 PM

Glass hanger went up last night..

**Joe 90** · 15-01-2022, 08:20 AM

Youngest constructed a Fortnight Mancave, looks familiar..

I see Loytoys been busy with his other halfs section, looking palatial mate..

**Loy Toy** · 16-01-2022, 02:58 AM

Thanks for taking the time to post the pix mate.

Nearly all the building materials I used to build this I recovered from the rear building which is being partially demolished.

This Lady Cave fronts on to the Mooban car park and has a storeroom, kitchen with pizza oven and my missus will be selling coffee and Thai food from here.

My man cave is at the rear of the 2 storey building.

**malmomike77** · 16-01-2022, 03:02 AM

You like your roof angles Loy

**Loy Toy** · 16-01-2022, 03:10 AM

I am going to call it the Pattaya Opera House.

The reason behind all the roof angles is add-ons that originally wasn't intended.

**malmomike77** · 16-01-2022, 03:14 AM

^ I can see that, i believe Utzon was the same, got carried away. Looks like you are having fun and that's all that matters

**Loy Toy** · 16-01-2022, 03:20 AM

I certainly am mate and keeping fit.

It has an undercover Koi Carp fish pool which I will be checking for leaks later today.

**Joe 90** · 17-01-2022, 01:53 AM

Theres a few houses in this neck of the woods that have constructed under floor Koi tanks, a glass floor. Must be weird walking around on top of swimming fish.

Looking good mate!

Spent a few hours myself deconstructing a cement "bird pond" that the ex made.

Thank fook that eyesore has gone, now I can lay the astro turf .
