Pigeons and Ladders (better than snakes)

Todays project is to take this large pigeon hole cupboard which has been left outside for quite a while and covered in dirt, and turn it into a beautiful display cupboard and maybe our shop counter for serving customers.
If you haven't seen our previous video, we are working on a big project to open our first Aussie Gardener retail store on our home property in Dural (North West Sydney)

Watch the video to see it all happen!

Our youngest son Jimmy (19) helps us out on this project whilst he is taking a break from his Uni course at NIDA. Check out his debut of presenting on camera!
Good job Jimmy.

Every man needs a shed where he can accumulate tools and gadgets that he may one day find a use for... today was that day for these super long clamps. I knew they would come in handy one day.

Before sanding, be sure to look for any protruding nails and hammer them back otherwise it will quickly rip a hole in your sandpaper. (learnt from experience)

A bit of teamwork in action... adding the vacuum at the same time as sanding helped to minimise cedar dust... but as you can see Jimmy seems to attract the dust to his face!

Leave a comment below and keep watching to see the next project on our path to opening a retail store for Aussie Gardener.
