Winter Project Ideas

FreeFallin

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!

Fart

Build a Summer made out of wood.

Fromthetrees

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.

Stained Class

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.:)

Biggins

Build portacabins for us all to move into when we have nothing left after being taxed to fcuk!

FatherLen

build a time machine and go back to the future. doc is still there!!!

you left him!!!

you maniac!

Immaculate Pasta

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:

ScumLord

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

maxfresh

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

mattjack

you could build your own boards.

Thank you all for your inspiring suggestions

You could build a little birdhouse in your soul.

gigino

You could build a little birdhouse for other souls;)

W.Shakes-Beer

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

RichieC

try to invent cold fusion.

I nearly had it last year but my papers were all burned..

yeah that's too much altogether for me.

mawk

well its winter, so build a hot tub.

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

it'd be awesome

John Doe1

Form a new cult which worships parsnips and sex

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

Love this idea though

pragmatic1

Make loads of money and then give it to me for beer in the summer.

mackg

Write a 5000 word essay on laboratory information management systems, I need it by Wednesday.

Taco Corp

Build an underground bunker and prepare for the inevitable zombie attack

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.

Snowie

My winter projects involve this taking pictures I think I'm doing ok

Rhys Essien

You could try welding a few bits of scrap metal together like this and you might get over 2 million from Cork City Council.

Scruffles

am about to start doing a winter project actualy,it shoud have been summer but other people kept delaying it.

its not one woud recommend for everyone but anyway- incubating eggs/growing chick chicks for our farm.
a PECS based guide is being put together on this,and once they have done that will apparently get given the incubator.
we lost all our silkie chicks that were born natural [though we had no idea] quite recently,itd be nice to have some youngens back.

another project that is being started after the PECS guide is finished,was an idea come up with by self,but am assuming all of us who live there will be doing it-the idea is simple-to get food,clothing etc for the local homeless,as its freezing and just about the worst time of the year to be on the streets.
its much better than thinking about collecting money because we coud give the food direct to them,whether cooked food to the ones who cant get a place in a hostel or tinned/fresh food to the shelters/food places for homeless.

Watch Hannibal and learn from it, Feast on Brain goo, you have the tools and you know you want to.

flanum

look for some old "high nelly" bicycles.. strip them down and go onto the high nelly website, order a few new brake type things,... lo and behold entire summer gone doing them up!

holystungun9

Cobble that metro north thing together, no real rush with it anyway but shure ye'll have made a start on it.

I'm thinking of making illuminated ornamental fountains to brighten up the pot-holes in Kerry.

FreeFallin

I think by posting in after hours I had to expect some of these responses :P

Flanum, I like your bike idea (/something similar). its not going to break the bank and would be a bitta fun. I also have an idea up my sleeve that bring in a small bit of extra cash

BunShopVoyeur

Fritzl dungeon........obviously.

Are you going to sell one of your elbows, or your watch?

Not quite - more of an early January christmas tree collection service! Cheap enough to persuade people to get someone else to dispose of their tree. Just enough money to ensure I could make a few bob!

ejmaztec

A certain bunch of people got their winter project off to a good start by hacking a big hollybush to crap across the road from me. Nothing like a bit of destruction to earn a few quid.:(

I hope you don't get confused when the recipe calls for a knob of butter in the food-mixer.
