ordered in but I could get it in any colour I wanted.  Took about 6 days, 
cost me about $90 aussie.

do this, make sure it is not full at the time :)

Update


An update on my hopper project...
 
I've completed cutting the upper 1/2 or so that is 1.3 oz silicone, and am 
currently awaiting the arrival of a roll of 1.0 to finish off the bottom. It's 
taken about 2 weeks so far working a few hours in the evenings, so when the rest 
of the fabric arrives (hopefully tomorrow) I will finish up the panels and get 
my load-tape ordered from Bally. 
 
Its a 32,000 cu ft 8 gore design (possibly with center-gore load tapes, 
still not sure though I am leaning that way) that will fly a garbage bin 
"basket" underneith. I'd like to eventually make a real wicker basket for it 
with room enough for myself and 2 tanks (much like the Adams Little Devil), as 
well as a collapsible design. Question, for those of you who do fly the 
garbage-bin way, how did you go about acquiring your carriage? I know the 
website for Schaefer Waste-Recycling but it has no info on how to go about 
getting one... any help?
 
See ya!
