Catchy title, right?
As some of you might know, I am now a father of three, with our latest addition being 7 months old. She has 2 sisters, who are 10 and 12, so bit of a gap. I lost my home office, as it was converted to a nursery (although at our age, 'converted' is a big word for doing as little as possible. I built a cot, cleaned all my crap out, and replaced my basketball memorabilia with pictures of Aussie flowers and animals).
Anyway, eventually the baby will move into the spare bedroom we have, so I'm slowly cleaning out stuff from there. This included some of my childhood toys. Some Lego, Star Wars figurines, a Transformer, and a small amount of Battlestar Galactica stuff.
Thought I might get some money for it, as I knew the Transformer was worth maybe $300, so I packed them up, took them to a collectables shop...and got $2000 for them, paid in cash. Nice surprise!
I was toying with the idea of maybe using the cash to get a decent home brewing setup. My wife is on board with the idea (which makes me suspicious...lol) and has taken it a step further. She wants me to set up an outdoor cottage/bar (something small...3m x 3m maybe) to both house the brewing kit, and give us a cool little talking point, place for drinks, etc.
So...no real point here, just shooting the breeze with you fine folk.
But if anyone is geeky enough to want to know about the toys I sold, ask away.
If anyone knows about either good brewing setups for under $2000, or cool outdoor shed/bar ideas (preferably for $5000-$6000k tops) then let me know that too.
I live in Melbourne, so I'm talking Aussie pesos.
