Winter Project Ideas

    Does anyone out there have any winter projects on their hands? Maybe for money or just a hobby?

    I'd love to get stuck into something over the next few months but don't really know what. I have access to a garage and pretty good range of tools but what to do is the question!

    Build a Summer made out of wood.

    Start smoking weed and then you'll lose some of that motivation and prefer to stay in bed all day getting wrecked and watching dvds. :)

    Buy a classic car or bike & do it up in your spare time.

    Good time to buy as they're pretty cheap these days.

    Who knows? You might make a profit if you sell it on.:)

    I would like you to write me four 5000 word essays on the answer to the questions posed in these popular songs.

    Who let the dogs out?
    Do they know it's Christmas?
    Do you know the way to San Jose?
    How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?

    That should keep you busy :cool:

    Make some vertical gardens and a compostor that can make gas so your self sufficient when the zombies come.


  • Registered Users Posts: 688 ✭✭✭maxfresh


    Maybe welding of some sort (gas/electric) you could make loads of things , keep you nice and warm aswell


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,389 ✭✭✭mattjack


    you could build your own boards.

    Buy a classic car or bike & do it up in your spare time.

    You could build a little birdhouse in your soul.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,350 ✭✭✭gigino


    You could build a little birdhouse for other souls;)

    Take up beer, not the commercial shít that you just go getting locked on. Go to a good quality off licence and get some tasty ales, stouts and cask brews and enjoy say 1 bottle of each once or twice a week.

    Take up guitar.

    Buy and old car and start pulling it apart and restoring it. If I had the money I'd love to do this. Have a whopper garage but no dollaro's

    piano lessons are too expensive :(

    waltons are 310 for the next semester and you can pay in 2 goes
    they are more expensive than some though
    as a beginner you'd be better paying a private teacher

    yeah that's too much altogether for me.

    well its winter, so build a hot tub.

    sit in the tub outside drinking beer and looking at stars.

    it'd be awesome


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭John Doe1


    Form a new cult which worships parsnips and sex


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,933 ✭✭✭holystungun9


    Build one of those haydron collider things and make a black hole or anti-universe or whatever.

    Oh, and wear a santa hat while doing it. Or else it would be unchristmassy and stupid.

    Weather can be a bit prohibiting for outdoor projects, so my house is mine :)

    This, and you can mark a bunch of stupid essays by stupid kids. Friday will be fine for my lot. So tempted to just draw penises and boobs on the lot of 'em.
