  1. thanks for the replys about ants wasnt trying to nitpick just wondering top job there :twothumbsup:

    Paul

    and by the way white ants out here are pretty tough they eat treated power poles ect they even eat cement when we build new houses out here we treat the ground around the house before the slab is built they bury a soaker hose around the outside that they can force some type of poison down every few years they are a big problem in Australia they eat tyres on old gear lying around there tough little fu$$ers thats for sure

  2. Its wood :blink: is some reason you used wood ? As a general rule nobody builds a shed out of wood in Australia to many white ants and not as strong as steel

    I have been told there are more white ants in Australia than the rest of world combined dunno who counted them all :idunno: something to do with Australia not going thru the last ice age :idunno:

    Looks like a good size shed my dad always says "a man can never have to many sheds"

  3. yeah yeah I no that fat man hooks them up to a sleigh but they are special magic flying ones the only deer I see fly are the ones I shoot with the .303 tuff little buggers and I doubt wether I could harness them up

    As for the big day up here in the tropics we try and find a cool spot and just sweat it out might even have a drink or fifteen I dont wanna dehydrate chrissy has always been a very quiet time in our house our families all scattered hell west and crooked over this wide brown land like 3000 k's apart so we havent got together for 15 years I reckon

  4. yep gotta agree with all that you have said what a amazing place to live. Hows that sky is that the northern lights or something like that in the sky ?? I have never seen a thermometer that goes bellow zero let alone that far bellow . Didnt no you could harness up deer or moose or what ever they are

    thanks for sharing

  5. well all I can say is when everybody wants something for nothing it can only go on so long before we all get what we deserve NOTHING no jobs for our kids grand kids or even us no pride in what we do because the sad thing is most of us didnt care to start with thats why we bought that cheap tool TV oven car what ever I remember once upon a time when we were not just buying a product we were buying our future so I guess if we are to cheap to invest in our own countrys future we will get what we deserve so next time you go shopping just think a bit further down the road than your hip pocket about the reel cost of what your buying or saving

  6. This going totally off topic now but back in the early ninetys I got subpoenaed to go to court as a witness court was 2500 km away told them stick up there ass Im not going they told me the police will be around shortly to inform me I have no choice and I says tuff Im running a business whos gunna run it while Im not there they say they will pay me the same amount as I get paid if I was there so I say fair enough so they send me off on a plane change plane then the next plane gets delayed anyway the long and the short of it is because I was delayed I wasnt need the court hearing didnt go ahead and they settled out of court I had to stay the night away the next morning they plan was canceled so any way I end back at home I send these clowns a invoice and the bastards say no way were not paying that just my standard hourly rate I thought right we will see about that and the long and the short of it was because I never gave a written quote I didnt have a leg to stand on

    fast forward around ten years get a job done for me and I ask for a few quotes before we start and the one I go with seems ok they are all around the same anyway this job is meant to take around a week a few weeks pass the job is only half done this bloke turns up at door going crook I still to this day dont know what the problem for him was but sends me a bill for a half finished job for over $28000 when he quoted $7500 I say Im not gunna pay unless you can explaine how this went so wrong he says Im gunna see you court so of we go the long and the short of it was because I didnt have a written quote I didnt have a leg to stand on so I say to the boss man of the court about the above story and about this story and to me it just dont seem right I was told I couldnt get payed because I didnt give a written quote but I had to pay even with out a written quote his answer was wait for it "DONT BE SMARMY" WTF is smarmy well I have since learnt its to be a smart ass

    the moral to the story's dont trust no prick and if you need a job don do it your self no matter what

    and stay away from courts there is no winners there

  7. The door handle and the window crank both come apart the same- there are 2 rings between the handle and the inner door panel. Push the one the closest to the handle in (toward the door panel) and push the pin out with a punch. If it doesn't go easy, go the other way- should not need to pound it out.

    I find it much easier to remove the window/ latch assembly it you take the inner window trim piece off and remove the vent window.

    yep it's not a roll pin as such just like a little bit of rod and the spring loaded doodah holds it in place

  8. My Uncle recently had one of his trucks roll over. Elderly woman cut off the driver and he swerved and put it in the median. Truck was laying on its side with no other vehicles hit. Long story short, my uncle got a bill for $130,000 in the mail. They righted it and towed it 10 miles to their yard. The breakdown on the bill was just mind blowing. They brought in a Landoll and charged $7000 for it to show up. Each of the big wreckers were $27,000. ETC...

    I always wondered how these towing companies could afford such nice trucks.

    hey mate I reckon you musta made a mistake 130000 it cant be right were they there for days months I just cant see it surely they have to be able to justify the bill

    I hope some one got the car rego label ?
