  1. do the maths on that one bra, sweet f#@k all !
  2. I'm a tradie, used to do FIFO in Queensland (not for an extended period of time) and came to the conclusion that its really not worth the extra coin. in reality Lennox, you are doing all those hours and having the hardship of being away from family for a lousy $500 a week in the hand. I'm sure its the same in W.A., in Queensland the mining company's use labor hire company's to source their workers. The worker suffers by getting a lower hourly rate because the greedy labor hire mobs are taking the cream off the top
  3. The house size 350m2 with garage as sub floor 80m2. Looks sweet, keep the progress pics coming, always interesting to see other peoples house ideas come to fruition
  4. backyard is a little water logged edit: 160mm and counting
  5. it rained last night, and still raining now. Cleaned out most of the houses guttering on Monday (just in time) 147mm
  6. Just buy one of these suits from Alpinestars.
  7. ^^Totally agree with rednose^^ We have 4 split Fujitsu inverter aircons, 3 smaller ones for the bedrooms (2.6 kw, 2.1kw, and a 3.5kw) and a large one for the lounge/kitchen area (8kw). The 8 killer wasp unit absolutely smashes the lounge area. Turn it on during the day when the temp is 32 plus, and the largest area in the house is cool in ten minutes! Running the master bedroom one (3.5kw) all night -- in the morning (and I presume most of the night) the motor unit outside is barely ticking over. In contrast, the one in the study was cranking flat out all the time till we had it fixed (installation fault) now once it pulls the temp down,(about 20 minutes) the outside unit barely ticks over. I thought the study one was too small (2.6kw) because of 2 computer workstations pumping out the heat, coupled with afternoon sun streaming through a 2400x1100 window. So as Cjafpv said, make sure you use a reputable company with quality units. Our installer stuffup cost $300 to fix. He hadn't flared one of the connector pipes fully and there was a tiny leak, but after 4 years the aircon was only pulling 23 degrees from the head unit. By comparison, the 8 killer wasp one was pumping out 8.5 degrees at the head unit!! pic of computer currently pumping out the heat room temp 27, computer temp (at idle) 32
  8. Getting the concrete poured is exciting, gives you a better perspective of how big its going to be[emoji2] Sent from my HTC_0P6A1 using Tapatalk
  9. Ive lived in this present house, which is literally 2.5klm from the start of that video, for 18 years. Used to ride this road at least 4 times a month, mixing it up with a once a month ride up the Gillies HWY (1 hour south from my house) So Ive maybe surfed this stretch of bitumen 864 times, give or take a couple of hundred. This is the rear on my Ducati after a "spirited ride" up the Rex range north of Port Douglas This is an old one of the rear of my GSXR 1000, I couldnt believe I got 9000klm out of it, (maybe a little bit past its use by date) normally I would only get 4-5000klm, so I must have been taking it easy.
  10. 2 nuns sitting on a park bench a man in a long coat walks up to them and flashes the nuns with a full frontal. one poor old dear had a stroke. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - -the other one couldn't reach
  11. we took the soft-close option, one of the best kitchen decisions made, I LOVE them.
  12. Logorrhoea
  13. here's another video, a bit more of gear action. made this one on Saturday. Its 8 minutes long so I don't expect many to watch it. there is no music because why spoil the wonderful sound coming out of the pipes. this road is just a few minutes from where I live. the northern beaches of Cairns to Port Douglas and up the Rex range to Julatan. the only time to ride here is early in the morning, if you leave it too late the road is full of tourists by 9am its about a 2 hour return trip at a nice leisurely pace If anyone is ever up this way I'm always keen for a ride, just PM me. testing out my new gloves and camelback :-)
  14. I have a little tip of my own, wait for it use a f#%ken $4 sun shade, keeps the sun off everything in the front!
