But there was a matching green thing so I couldn't say no. >😃 [attach=1] Currently renovating a piece of bowling alley for these toys to live on. Getting quotes on a new shed to house the Silver Streak and the Slayer but council will be my only barrier to deal with as my space is tight where I want to build the new coffee cave.

Oooh (VERY) NOICE! :thumb: Keep us posted Chester! Um, which "piece of bowling alley" are you renovating? Kev

Brett_H

Oh wow. That is so exciting! Thank you for the pictures... I'm off to take some extra meds!!

Well someone has to say it...Green with envy

Thanks Kev 2.6meters of lane is going to be the bench top, put the first coat of varnish on today after much sanding and destroying a saw blade hitting all the hidden screw nails :-[ squaring it up. BrettH - drugs are bad, just put your head in a bag of freshly roasted coffee and breath in deep, an instant relax. Chester

Pfft... Ya saw is soft.. Tungsten eh! Drugs ARE bad but they're keeping me alive (Addison's). They reckon the excessive amount of coffee I drank masked the effects of Addison's thus making my diagnosis more prolonged... I called it self-curing (both senses of the phrase)! Inhalation is a good back-up!

Thats adrenal type stuff isn't it, low blood pressure etc, can see where coffee could mask it. Do the drugs and enjoy the coffee, all in moderation.

Lacehim

Man, nice equipment mate! You are definately going to host a social aren't you! 😉 😉 >😃 :angel:

Hi Lacehim Yep social at my place once I get everything up and running. Monday the roaster is off to get its new gas train and software, about 2 weeks before I get her back. In that time I will have started the shed build, well the slab should be down (as long as I can get council to work with me). About 6 weeks in total and it should all be up and running, thats the plan. Then, open crema day/weekend bring your green and brown play on the roaster play on the slayer :thumb: Chester

Congratulations Chester Not only a beautiful combination of machinery but also a unique colour I like green a lot :thumb: It's bold and shows the owners are also unique

Thanks KK, a serious investment but pretty excited. Chester

Lacehim

It sure is exciting. 🙂 I've been getting a lot of your roasted beans through C-man and they have been great so far. 🙂 I'll have to get some green and get roasting again while you're renovating.

C-man

Chester, I know a good private certifier that lives up your way (Pomona) he gets all kinds of things through council for me.

mwcalder

Awwww yeaahhh! Very cool my friend! Hope the installation and council garbage goes through quickly and painlessly. Michael

cosmic_couple22

Thanks Michael Hopefully the process isn't to much trouble. Did go to Bunnings today and buy all the stuff to do a temporary fit, so slayer should be up and running by Friday. Can't leave a new toy just sitting there teasing me ;D. @Lacehim, roasting some nice beans to cover the roaster down time, check with c-man, he might share? Chester

galumay

WOW! I wouldnt have picked that colour in a million years for coffee hardware, yet it looks awesome. Nearly worth a trip south just to have a look when your setup is complete!

I had a feeling that might be the case! Michael

Already got my order in with C-Man. I got him to organise me 500gm Zambia terranova (I liked this previously when I roasted it) and to treat myself 500gm Ninety Plus - Ethiopian Nekisse 🙂 Good luck with the build mate! Progress photos are a must! 😉

cosmic_couple22

All good Lacehim, C-man messaged me, will post some pictures of todays roasting in the roasting thread. Thought I would add some extra photos now I have unwrapped the portafilters and moved the slayer inside. [attach=1] Front panel [attach=2] Custom badge [attach=3] [attach=4] With portafilters and steam wand handles fitted. Gold Coast tomorrow for roaster pimping :thumb: Arrange a sparky on Tuesday to put in a small sub board and the 32amp required outlet for the slayer. Chester Chester

Looking amazing!! Who services slayers on the Sunny Coast or is that another learning curve?
