That Luke feller seems to be a handy bloke to have around, he builds cars, is a defender of the Nation, brings in weekly income, makes good babies.
Hell, If I'd known he was that good I'd have married him myself.

You're doing a great job mate & you seem to have a capable helper & enthusiastic publicity officer too.

Thanks Dodgeman for the kind words. Kirstie sells herself short though, she does a lot of hard work. By the end of the week it should be totally in etch primer so we can then hand it over to the pro's (I have a huge semester at uni now and won't be able to do much work on it).

And Ianey, the no. plate will be inset. Just need to weld some 'steps' in there to mount it on. Also need to setup a light in there, once uni's done for the year we'll attack the wreckers.

i do do some of the work but luke does the most hard work

the females always wait for the easy work.. thats right..

but then they complain they got the hard work haha

kidding.. great job..

time is a factor.. and months lol

There's no way I'd take that much work on. Just give me the heavy work any day & I'll have the easier end of the deal.

Anytime Kirsty has nothing to do, she can pop over here & help me with my projects, I could always use a capable assist.

Who do you think took off most of the rust..both surface and deep seated? Me.

Who knew what they were getting into ...Me!!

as it is and as Chris pointed out...

i am a mother to 2 kids, i work a part time job 5 days a wekk...NIGHT SHIFT i don't sleep during the day when i am home from work, i look after the kids...so does luke he puts in the hard work when the kids are sick whilst i am at work and even then he does more then most dads i know, i make the bottles no way was this kid gonna be boob fed!

I don't cook that's Luke's mum that does that!!

I am considering taking on a 2nd job to go to pretty much after finishing my night shift job

Most guys don't actually realise just how much work is invovled in looking after kids. That is why Luke never says i don't do hard work coz he knows i do and i never say he doesn't do hard work either as i know he does!!!

I know you said you were kidding but remember i am not like most girls who get uppity so easy!! it tends to take a fair bit of pushing b4 i get pissed!!!

He did say he was kidding.

I know.

now anyone got any helpful tips i can use for the ute? any kind of tips or advice?

Start on the front end tomorrow so I can etch prime it on Friday/Saturday.

How's that?
