It’s all blue skies and Sunshine here for the last couple of days, so unfortunately got nothing to send ya in the near future. ![]()
Just bragging a bit @Maiphut ![]()
Might get in touch with my mate far out east in Bodallin
Merredin Farms heading back into local farming hands - Grain Central.
and see if I can get some seasonal work Bin Chasing, if he doesn’t ask me first, which he does every Harvest Season, even chasing my Daughter to come and learn the ropes and earn some decent money too! ![]()
For sure go for it, especially if you know them.
Then… look out RC models explosion ![]()
I swear the service industry’s off the rails these days…
A quote to eradicate a couple of pigeons that have decided to nest under our solar panels and keep us up all night…
$2,200! WTAF??![]()
Okay that includes birdproofing the panels but c’mon! Over $2K??![]()
If I didn’t live in a highset I would have been up on the roof myself with a gel blaster giving them plenty of incentive to move on.
A recent quote to rip up the decking on the front verandah and replace? $35,000…
We’ll probably have to replace the joists and all the steel posts that are holding your house up at the front… they might have rust.
“Might” being the operstive word there. ![]()
Fucking bullshit.
Welp I’m your man. I can fix all that shit for a carton of beer ![]()
Welcome to my world and why I do everything myself ![]()
They are qouting standards that they have to adhere to. Few mates do it and it is ridiculous. Two words. Chicken Farms.
Your next target 007 is… worked alright for me and won’t damage your panels. It works trust me ![]()
I just did that board work in my shearing shed myself. Total cost $1100 and my spare time which is nothing to me. I couldn’t even find somebody to do it that was not under $180/hr. Fk it do it myself.
Sounds like I’m going on a working holiday.
![]()
I’ll come and join in on the fun!
Problem is that I can barely walk let alone get up a ladder and use any tools…
But for a carton of beer, EVERY job needs a Supervisor… Right? ![]()
They only got the job over me because they don’t drink beer!
That’s it, I’m going to HR with this unfair bias towards sober opponents. ![]()
I had a similar issue and quote a few years ago.
The best solution is to raise the panels up enough so magpies and crows can get in as well… let the food circle go on a bit!
Very annoying having pigeons right above your bedroom.
Memories of childhood. Click the speaker icon for sound
Yep.
We’ve got a healthy population of magpies, crows and butcher birdsin the trees at the back of the block which is why the sneaky pigeons are where they are. ![]()
Any thoughts on these things?
Well you’ll have to pass the beer to me, that will be acceptable ![]()
Full and cold, not fking empty
![]()
Only thing is it will get rid of the rest as well.
Light em up with the blaster works too, they don’t like that.
Hmm different subject, now the only senator or whatever she was Jacinta has been kicked out, bloody hell she spoke sence to me.
Unlike that Lidia Thorpe lunatic trash bag. ![]()
That is gold
![]()
Tomorrow is the day, there is going to be the biggest protest in Australias history with over 6 different clans doing it at the same time. ![]()
I can’t attend(nor would I want to I’ve actually got work to do), I have a doctors appointment in the scrub next door ![]()
I know, right…its ridiculous…
Tradies seem to think they are brain sugeons…and need to be paid respectively…
2 solar jobs a day…$5000… you’re kidding, right.??!
Just for installing plastic barriers around solar panels…!
Side note, be careful climbing on roof’s…preferably Don’t.
That how o had my 7m fall, which nearly killed me…cleaning solar panels…
Let somebody else do it…
Cant say ive had much experience, with electronic bird shoo’ers…
But, on a unrelated note…here is a similarly priced item, which looks much more interesting…
And, you thought gel blasters were expensive…!!
Ah drop all those numbers off. Did you not have Weetbix for breakfast this morning ![]()
I charge the right price for my services and I’m also First Aid response trained so when you fall off because you didn’t do the right thing, I’ll scoop your arse up and patch you up asap ![]()
Or I can just leave ya there in a bleeding mess. LOL But na doesen’t matter who it is, always bang in to action and I’ve seen some beauties. Always keep the esky with ice in every section to put the chopped off finger in to hand off to the Para’s to take with to hospital and stitch it back on. Time is of the essence.
One ripper I had one day, operator had a blonde moment and didn’t clean the scrap out the press. Making Landcruiser wheels, the centre hole is a 6mmx100mm round slug. They built up about 40 of them and the press shot them out and dropped him instant. All up the inner thigh and I swear mm’s from the old fella.
Instant blood everywhere I went in to overdrive called the Para’s stat, got the on site RN spooled up coming in hot as going into shock needs oxygen, grabbed the nearest old wog Rocco give a fkn hand now to carry this man to the RN’s first aid station get him stabilised while we await the Para’s. I was worried about the femoral, it was close but didn’t get it luckily.
He was ok but on disability pension and unable to work 10 months later last I knew. He thanked me said I would of been fucked if not for you. I said get better pal and hope things get better. That’s what I’m here for when the shit hits the fan.
Yeah…emergency response…
3 options really…Fight, flight or freeze…
Most people stand around like stunned mullets…or would pull out their phone nowadays…
Fighting means fighting for survival…and taking action to bring about a good outcome… Which assumes you have some knowledge in the first place…
Most members of society, would not have any knowledge, nor inclination to act…which is why you always get crowds of rubber-neckers looking on, at an accident.
Do something useful, or get out of the way…!
Exactly, I’m option A until the better trained roll up and hand off.
I’ve seen idiots try do CPR got NFI what they are doing besides breaking ribs from shit they’ve seen in the movies. Try and tell them you just get yelled at na I know what I’m doing… umm the heart is on the other side ![]()
There’s a certain measurement you have to do and right pressure to perform CPR. Not punch the chest in some movie in the middle of Iraq FFS
You’ve seen my place…
For obvious reasons I’ll be leaving the high work to someone a little more limber and younger.
I could probably get on the roof with an extension ladder… it’s getting off that’s tricky for me at my age.
I ain’t no hero, and I sure ain’t no Molly Meldrum.
Here comes the Wales rescue chopper to get that old fart off the highset roof. ![]()
![]()
Guy’s coming around today to quote on cleaning out the gutters. I’ll give him some incentive to kick any nests he finds while he’s up there into oblivion… maybe I’ll give him my M4 CQB to use too. ![]()
