Thread: Restored Old Hut - Private Land

After the lockdown earlier in the year, mate and I took on the task of restoring an old hut on a property we hunt a bit.
Heres an old Pic


And heres a new pic


So we've got 12V power, but what I'm wondering is what is the best idea to get some music in the hut. Radio AM/FM wont work so my first thoughts were car radio with CD player and a couple of 12V speakers.
Need a bit of help on the ideas's front, but if anyone's got a couple of old speakers gathering dust Id be grateful

Good work those men

That's what I currently do for a day job

That looks wonderful Bos and it looks like you got the grandkids involved too. Great.
@Brian and I are currently building a hut on a private hunting spot. We are lucky that the property owner has encouraged us to do it.

I bought a kit set for $5k which I thought was good value. Exactly the same as this:



My mate is deaf as a post and Im not far behind so music would be wasted on us

Yea its come up real good; pretty pleased really considering the farmer was going to take to it with his excavator.
Really important to be dealing with the "right" farmer - you know what I mean. In our case, we are so lucky as the farmer in question is a top bloke, and as we're probably the only ones that will ever use it.
All up we've spent around 3.5k - about 1700 - 1800 each which I'm more than happy about
Heres the rebuilt fireplace complete with log burner

Wow!

I think if you put up a decent antenna you will get quite a few radio stations.A 20 foot whip should pull in FM from a distance and a couple of wraps around radio will bring in AM .

outstanding, good buggers

The good thing about a private hut is you can leave gear there and just turn up with food and enjoy. Even just for a get away. @Bos looks like you guys make a top job sit back and enjoy and make the most out of it while you can

Thanks men
Fair to say we've already had a few christenings......the roof, the fire, the bunks, the water supply, not to mention a couple of good hunts before lambing and calving.
Youre right about leaving the food and gear out there. Easy just to take a bit of tucker, a few beers, and your hunting gear, and you're away
Many more great times to come no doubt

Awesome

It never ceases to amaze me. Why would an individual lug an aerosol can, all the way out there to graffiti a building?

Does it have to be radio?
Bluetooth speakers from your phone with iheart radio or Spotify is just as good and can run off of a power bank or small solar charge

Great job btw. Looks fantastic

Yep, something like a UE Boom straight off your phone. Simple, good sound and very portable

Very nice, home away from home.
