Thanks Ian (y):giggle: ... bet it's a bit drier and warmer there :cool: ... probably too warm most of the time .. 22/23c and shirt sleeves'd suit me for 10 months of the year, dipping to maybe 18C for the others :ROFLMAO:
Warmer, but not drier.
Daily temp 32~34C
A month into the wet season, so it's 90% humidity except when it's raining (and it does that a lot).

slight **** up .... intermediate legs were 644 and intermediate horizontals were 625 .... picked up the wrong bit and ferked if I was taking the 625 back out .... easier solution was to swap the extra 19mm ....

nah ... he's not going to be doing anything heavy/major on it ... and is going to get well ribbed between the main frames ... 4mm plate I cut up the other day and nested the shelves out of it to give a max size worktop 680 x 2000 with virtually zero waste.
would be easy enough to upgrade it if he wanted to, but doubt he'll ever need to
