Oh man. Raised garden beds like you have there are on my To do list. I even already have a bunch of sleepers from the previous owner. #gardenenvy
Repainted the offspring's shabby old desk, looks a bit flasher than it did, although I'm not all that happy with the finish.

Made, stained and fitted some trellis panels to the top of our fence.
500mm high x ~3m long about 5 of them.
Would have been much cheaper to get them pre-made. But I got to select the timber (all clears) and the fittings (stainless).
Actually not that difficult. Just slow.

What sort of prep work did you do before putting the tiles down Dicky? What's the base?

After a few months I've finally got my TV cabinet assembled and attached to the wall. I built this out of some rimu planks and boards I had lying around. The top and bottom were quite warped so I used sash clamps when gluing the sections together, to force the planks square again.
It looks huge because I don't have that many toys in there yet. Just a DVD/HD recorder, a TiVo and a Blu Ray player.
There's enough room in there to have two 17" wide sets of gadgets side by side.
From left to right there are:
I'm going to paint the cabinet black at some stage.
mdf: Very nice. I'm just curious as to how you got the kit to stick to the roof of the box ;)
That's some weird $hit eh? I got the Missus to take a pic with her phone, it came through the right way up. When I saved it to the desktop, it was rotated 180 degrees. When I uploaded it to geekzone, it was still upside down. But if you click to enlarge it, it somehow flips around to the correct way up again. I got no idea why it's doing that!!
It's taken me a it of time but I finally done my first IoT (Internet of Things) project to remote control my heat pump. The Arduino (ESP-12 micro-controller) acts as a webserver and relays the web commands into IR commands that the heat pump understands. There has been many times were I've gone to work and I have forgotten to turn off the heat pump or I'm out late and it's cold and I want to turn the heat pump on.
There is zero internet security yet but I'm going to rely of my routers VPN to handle that.

This is the mobile web app I developed to control the heat pump. It's just a mix of jQuery & jQuery Mobile. All the html and assets are stored on the micro SD card.
The ESP-12 Wi-Fi micro-controller is currently sitting on a development breakout board but I plan to move it to a smaller package using the ESP-12E which is smaller and have it compacted into a box the size of a Tic-Tac container or bicycle puncture re-pair kit box.
Building and installing speaker back box's for Sonance Silhouette speakers.

Looks good. So much easier to do when you're building a new house than trying to retro-fit any new stuff.

Any chance you'd be willing to do a bit of a how-to guide? I'd love to do this with our heatpump.
