The Great Plasma Cutter experience

We have had a couple of weekends away since the last big working bee so progress has been a little slow.
However Tina and I have managed to mulch all the plantings we have done so far using some Cyclone Yasi mulch we got from the council. 

We have cut our first hole inside the container using the Plasma cutter MK2. It’s a long story but the first one I was sold would not run on the generator and we even purchased a $ 250 extension cord (on advice from Brian) to try to run it of the mains from our neighbours pump circuit board. All to no avail so after I took it back and had a bit of dummy spit, I parted with more money for a better one that was guaranteed to work on my 8Kva geny.

So with the new Plasma cutter in hand we cut out the first hole in between the lounge and dining area. The container walls are made of quite thick panel so we have to cut them off in about 900mm pieces. This takes a long time, is bloody hot and the burning of the special paints and coatings they use are quite noxious.  So one hole down but because the 2 containers are side by side we will need to repeat this for the second wall to get the full opening.
