the price of firewood.
bloody hell. looking at around 120 - 140 per metre for redgum and 110 - 120 per metre for bluegum stuff.
love the open fire, but it's becoming a luxury at these prices.

Ahhh ............ did you actually watch it? ................... It didn't work!
Yeah I go cut my own, usually stringy bark though, or whatever is felled, and will buy a load of Redgum and mix it in with what I have cut. Redgum does burn nice and hot though.Quote:

Try the degreaser from Supercheap, neat and let it soak for say an hour then high pressure nozzle setting on a garden hose. I find it removes justabout anything, diesel, engine oil or gearbox oil. You may need to do a second dose depending on how 'light coloured' the concrete is. What we use on oil saturated concrete floor is a solvent washed down then applied with a hydrochloric acid 20%, the degreaser soaks in and dilutes the oil, then the acid tends to break the cement down a littie that further releases more oil - the acid attacks the concrete, not the oil. Finally we wash with a final coat of degrease and water, and the concrete is good as new and able to receive a good etch primer. The concrete attack is very light, wont affect the driveway in any way from a strength perspective.Quote:

Finally worked out they’ve set up shop for the winter in the back of my wood fired stove which weighs about 800kg to move [emoji3062]
Flooded my kitchen yesterday too after running the dishwasher, little pricks have chewed through its drain hose around back.

he didn't know what we'd taken the trol over or through before it had visited his shop, he saw something broken and just concluded the entire vehicle was shite.
funny what pops into your head when you're filling in time for 5pm.
In isolation, again. this time actually very sick. Had to order food from the supermarket. Been waiting for the delivery, as we got a message it was on the way. Turns out they delivered it to some one else, who got home from work and found it sitting on their veranda. FFS meat milk etc sitting in the sun for over an hour and a half.
How the hell does modern society actually function with so many stuff ups?
We had the same Craig, not happy with the supermarket but they did refund the full amount immediately and gave a credit on the next order.Quote:

So many friends and relies have copped the dreaded lurgy in the last couple of weeks. Bastard of a thing that just won't let go.
Hope you feel better soon Craig.
I’m yet to get it but immediate family members have so I’m lucky I guess.
Maybe it’s my chilli eating and whisky drinking that stops it. Haha! [emoji38]

Flew back from site last monday, airline baggage handlers 'lost' my bag between plane and carousel. Pissing down rain etc. I had two more flights to catch to get home, so after reporting the missing bag was assured it would be sent to my home address, just common practice with every other time an airline loses your bag. Well, this airline and their contracted baggage handlers have a different policy - bad luck, you can pay to get it from Townsville to home in Melb or it can sit is townsville. Ended up the supervisor in TSV sent the bag to melb by Jetstar. I got a call from Jetstar to pick the bag up. Well the deal is it is to delivered to me - the source company lost it. Their responsibility i would have thought. Nope, 3 days back and forth, hours on the phone, then getting hung up on, ended up picking it up myself. Got the bag to the car and it was saturated, water inside it even - must have been left in the rain for ages - no come back on the airline, baggage handlers and the company's dont give a shit. Customer service is a thing of the past. All 3 businesses have no phone contact , one has a call message from an unmanned or monitored voicemail mailbox, totally pathetic that a simple issue could not be resolved responsibly.
My kids. Both are boasting about chucking sickies at work. This is one thing I despise. Leaving the actual people who choose to work, to work harder just because these poor snowflakes can’t be fucked! I express my concern and it gets treated as I’m over dramatic. Am I? Has this world gone that shit?

No you are not being over dramatic mate. Go kick their arses all the way to work.Quote:

When I worked for the man, I never took a sick day unless I seriously couldn't work, and even then I felt guilty. Now I work for myself I no longer feel guilty if I can't work a day but I don't get sick pay either dammit! My boss sucks now.
Dunno Mudski how you handle it mate. Just tell them not to winge when they say they can't afford a house. You need work ethic, discipline, and resilience to get ahead and always have no matter how easy millenials say everyone else had it.
do they still live at home,my youngest attitude has changed since she left home..best thing she did was wanting to act all grown up n shitQuote:

All my kids had part time jobs and are all working at good jobs now. Glad to say the two eldest grandkids also had part time jobs and now have apprenticeships.
