Chainsaw, crowbar, hammer. All you need to take. Oh and the crate of Waikato.

@Rushy he is going to need a hell of a lot of Waikato for under the deck, eventually the crates will rot out, but the bottles will last a long time.

Those Waikato's would be better than tanalised timber down here, nothing will touch it. Good thinking @Rushy. As long as the bottles can handle a bit of a shake, otherwise there would be an environmental disaster.

A good thread jack for ya Toby mate.

Im a bit shocked.
I took a break from the net for a while while I moved house and then I read this news. So sad. I enjoyed Toby's posts. And to think I have let minor matters get to me recently while Toby was battling this. His struggle has given me strength.
Rest In Peace young man. You will be remembered.

bloody deck-The b......d took me 7hrs to strip timber off finding 5 broken bearers all replaced-welded soldered ascrewed&glued recycled pallett timber. back&knees aching like ...............however mkinute compared to the challenges braved by his nibs.anyhow a 20yr old section of deck sorted-rough but functional.
C404 ringing later on -awee trip to visit the feral geese at the goose garden coming up.
Ismells success -me omens &rugby teams are doing their stuff canterbury &the ABs .and a horse owned by my brothers ,sisters &late mothers estate won nicelly at ellerslie yesterday!
overall life has a slightly good look.

Not what I was hoping to see on my first time back to the forum in a few months.

Rest in peace mate.

Hi there Jack. How the hell are you?

RIP Toby

One thing that will stick with me the most is a post on here somewhere that quoted Toby, they asked what Toby wanted and he said "I just want to live".

I never met the guy but those five words stick with me.

We all have everything that Toby wanted, don't waste it, use it. We don't know how fortunate we are and worry about the little things. I know I appreciate life more having known about Toby and his story.

Jeez
This has taken me by surprise. I'm not usually given to sentiment but this young Bugger really touched my heart with his positive cheeky attitude to the point that I decided to build the Tobinator rifle he was on about (nearly finished) and send it to him as a surprise just because I liked his "go gettum" life style. I will put that away unfired until someone of Toby's worth comes along and it will be passed on in Toby's name.
To the family I send heartfelt condolences and for bringing into this world an absolute Cheeky little shit I thank you!! I can say very little more that hasn't already been said... He did suggest I should meet "Old Grandad Rushy" and his bloody good mate Brads. here's hoping that this will come to fruition.

Toby.... a fond farewell from me RIP \
