Attack of the painter!
A last - he's turned up! Getting the front of our house and all of the (very high) ceilings painted. Only bastardry is that it's now going to RAIN for the rest of the week!

Arrival.
George from
Precision Car Audio has installed quite a few AVC-9000 units into Golfs and has a reputation for quality work.
Very impressive workshop, too.

Great workshop.
George has done a top job at setting this place up. Spotlessly clean, well laid out and heaps of overhead lighting.

It's all happening today.
The
Osram Night Breaker headlights which I ordered have just arrived from the UK.
UPDATE: The high-beam passenger side lamp is a NIGHTMARE to replace due to its location - about 30mins and lots of missing skin to get it done. Took about 10mins TOTAL to replace the other three lamps!

Score!
By sheer chance I browsed onto the
Overstock Outlet website just after 12pm today. Seems they've added a "one day one product" type deal (like
woot! and
Zazz) in addition to their regular online store.
Just listed were good quality queen size bed sheet sets for $19.95ea (normally around $60-70ea). Quickly threw in an order for three sets. 10mins later I get an email advising the item was ready to pick up (their head office and warehouse is 5mins from our place). Great service and an awesome buy (albeit kind of boring)
