Off-topic but in the garage nonetheless. changing the blades on a Teagal 8ft topper today. Chassis hasn't been galvanized yet got the call today so said id get ready for some good weather later in the week so will go topping rushes until the chassis gets done.

That's a great idea, I keep entertaining the idea of one for myself but I keep running out of money.

Lambert just wondering would it look naff? On the positive side, can be locked, will be dry inside. and I could sleep in it if it came to that.

I saw one a few years ago at a car show, it was a very long way from naff. The inside was exquisite in a light cream leather with piping in the body colour, it had accommodation for 1 with storage down the driver side along with washing up and cooking facilities. It will have cost someone a fortune but I suspect you could live quite comfortably out of it for months at a time.

it weighed 100kg extra and at 0.90 cents per kg of galvanizing and some shot, blasting brings the bill to €168. I thought it was going to be way more.
Questioned the bill thinking they had made a mistake but no that's how much it cost. Going to galvanize everything in my shed now at that price.
