Dropped in to PC Express in Riverwood to see Jing who always looks after me with PC related purchases.
I’ve picked up a huge 27inch monitor for the macbook pro for a bargain in comparison to a mac monitor at $1200.
#frustration. Got the monitor to work today, all excited only to find the guy at the JB HI-FI sold me the wrong dongle! Grr!
Some art went up today, nice change.
My mate MERDA was kind enough to give me print #8 :)
Sergio dropped in today.
Beer o’clock saw us playing with some toys.
Fucker was hard to control lol.
The fluro red is pretty hardcore in real life. Not sure it’s going to work too well in the space. The yellow needs a few more coats but it’s the right “industrial” yellow unlike the very pale odd yellow the poles originally were.
Zen Garage stickers are free (all you need to do is send in a self addressed stamped envelope). This envelope came from the states! So cool :)
Some flying toys for the space.
I brought in a box of these girl toys for the boys. :)
Some girls in-situ.
Zen Garage Project Car #01. Sean’s non-registrable FD which we’ll be setting up for Targa.
Can’t wait to start stripping this thing!
Rob’s done an awesome job on this makeshift kitchen.
Office doors just happen to come in Tiffany Teal :)
Humble beginnings of our Zen Garden. We’re looking for more pot plants so if you’re in Sydney and have a pot plant you’d like us to adopt please drop by!
First day in the office today, it’s nice outside but damn it’s cold in here! Unfortunately internet isn’t happening just yet but I’m currently connected through John’s iPhone (speed’s not too bad at all!). More news as it comes.
The Apple Store experience is strange. No counter, sign your signature on an iPhone with your finger… I’m not sure if I like it, but whatever.
Mia and Max having a good sniff!
Max approves?
More sniffing.
Setting up.
I went in set on a Macbook Air but walked out 20 minutes later with a Macbook PRO. Glad Christina, and the sales guy pushed me to go with the pro. I’ve set it all up, mostly. Work at Zen Garage starts tomorrow!
Sean and Archie, the warehouse dog.
Rob built this raised floor for the office. It’s awesome.
My corner of the office.
Best Motoring DVD’s.
Hyper Rev!
The GT-R section of the library.
Pong On!
Temporary lounge area. Poles painted white for now, still deciding on colour!
They’re in! I love them! They’re so awesome!
Chris at work.
Ryan.
Ryan organised my car to be shot by Photographer Chris Sorgsepp for an upcoming Express Publications magazine. We decided to shoot the car at Zen Garage. When I got there I was a little shocked at how much it had changed! The painters had been in earlier today and they’ve applied one layer of protective sealant. The space is looking a lot cleaner but it still has that grungey charm and character so it’s all good. Chris was really happy to be shooting in the space, so double good!
We’ve got power!
It was pissing down last night, even heavier today which was a good thing as we were able to pinpoint exactly where the leaks in the roof were.
We had a guy with a high pressure washer just wash everything down.
Floors, walls, the ceiling and all. So much dirt came off, was quite awesome to watch.
Excess water was swept away into this huge drain hole.
Wendy and B’Day boy John scraping the wall back.
The office room has the biggest leak.
The cafe next door turns out to be golden, awesome gormet foods. So happy. Shot of Wild Turkey to keep warm!
Data + roof guys + paint next!
