Think it's going to taste horrible, have put vinegar, mustard seed, carrot, onion and peppercorn in the water. It smells nice at least.Can always cover it in corn relish if it doesn't work out.
For a quick meal, that you can keep in a cupboard for 'emergencies'. Take half a tin of corned beef, chop into cubes about 1cm size, Put in a saucepan or microwave dish, add a tin of chopped Italian tomatoes and heat on a ring or in a microwave.
Liberally sprinkle with black pepper from a grinder and eat with fresh bread with thick butter or olive spread on it.
Yum yum.

Bill - do you get help doing all this???

I have friends who volunteered to help, but I don't really need the help at this stage.
I'm an engineering type; I'm used to doing things myself. 
The tricky bit has been doing the kitchen renovation, while still using it as an active kitchen, so I'm only doing a bit of the kitchen walls at a time. A kitchen can be done in just a few days, say easily in a week, but only if the house is empty, to do that.
But to live in at the same time, I've used a temporary situation, where I've removed the base cabinets, but suspended the original worktops on brackets on the wall so that the floor has nothing standing on it at all. (suspending the sink on brackets from the wall was the trickiest bit.) 
Earlier, (Sunday & Monday), I levelled the kitchen floor, which involves pouring a thin mixture of water, cement & latex (expensive stuff) all over the floor & then sort of swirling it about with a plasterers trowel. The mixture weighs 30 kg per batch and sets in just 20 mins, so I did half the kitchen at a time, using a wooden bar as a dam, across the centre of the room.
{ See that's why we practice damming streams when we are kids 
}
You're an amazing man Bill! Let me know if me and Mr JP can help at any time!

Sketching out plans and ordering parts to make something similar to this for neighborhood parties.
All you need is some optics and a big card picture of a girly with no clothes on, covered in bags of nuts.

It should be able to hold 3 5-gallon kegs of homebrew, a CO2 canister and enough ice to make it through a summer day.
That's my kind of f**king piano.

I think I'll use a classier stainless steel drip tray instead of a heater vent cover. It may be made from a wheeled trash bin but it still deserves some bling.

Spent a fortune on those things and she always had a bleedin' bikini on !
