What was the last thing you bought at Bunnings?

As I'm nearing the end of our backyard games room project, I had an eclectic assortment of items in my basket during my long weekend trip to Bunnings. There was some magnets for a gate, some wood filler, some paint and a new BBQ spatula.

 

Looking around at the store, it seemed many people were gearing up for a big weekend of D.I.Y. and gardening projects. There was certainly a wide variety of items in shopping baskets and trolleys.

I got it to clean the shower mostly, getting it clean but it is taking a while.

A larger one would reduce the cool down cycles needed to refill the tank.

It's been a while since the last post on this thread. I always enjoy hearing what people recently had in their trolley. 

 

The last thing I bought was a leaf blower for my father-in-law's birthday.

Re: What was the last thing you bought at Bunnings?

Well, the last thing I bought at Bunnings was:

 

5x tomato plants

2x cucumber seedlings

1x Nellie Kelly Passionfruit plant

 

2X organic garden mulch

 

1x Pickaxe

 

So, why this stuff?

 

Well the 5 eucalypt trees have finally been removed and now we have a westerly sun that will hekp the garden, so I delayed planting this year while my back garden looks like the Ardennes forest during the "Battle of the Bulge":grin:

 

Oh, the pickaxe is to help remove that last stubborn stump, which - believe it or not- had grown around a piece of rebar which nearly destoyed the stump grinder!

 

 

Next trip will be a powertool expedition

A box of 240 grit sanding finishing sheets for my orbital sander.

I’ve got a nice piece of Huon pine that I’m going to use as a height measuring chart to record my kid’s growth over the coming years. My father-in-law gave it to me. He has been holding onto it for about 40 years now. It’s about 2100x 250x10mm. It’s been through the thicknesser - a light finishing sand is all that is required now before mounting straight onto the wall in the family room. I won’t finish it with anyhthing. Will keep it natural - Huon pine smells great. We’ll record the kid’s heights straight on to the board. The natural timber will provide a nice contrast against the wall.

Wall tile spacers and a diamond angle grinder saw to cut my very fragile and small marble mosaic tiles..Marble is not easy to cut (without chipping the edge), but I have become quite proficient at it now.

Re: What was the last thing you bought at Bunnings?

how did you print it out.

it looks great I would love to do it.

I bought a Makita wrench attachment as I had previously bought a Makita grinder from Bunnings but the parts were not in the box and I didn't realise untill after a move north it was unpacked and I realised.
