Put up some solar panels and tell me to have a pint. :Drinks:

Nice save Paddy. Gotta pay attention to the parts call out, it'll get confusing. I hear the Air Conditioner market in UK is booming now.

AK G3 paints either uses their branded thinner or not? :frantic: I'm loading up whatever squirts and going with it. I like the chocolate color one because the guys who wrote about flying those crates kelp using that term.
