The wife's 07 holden viva did the timing belt on the hiway.. mongrel thing. surely a timing belt should do more than 30K?
$4k for repairs. tempted to slosh some mower fuel around and chuck a match...
yeah it depends on the suburb. I can't get $60 in my burb, so I travel a bit more to get it.
Oftentimes when you are asked to mow a lawn it is long, and maybe has junk on it. If its a feral you...
Hi Fred

Hi Fred
maybe! what days are you going up? I normally avoid the high country unless I'm with someone who can give the Terracan a tow if we get into trouble.

[QUOTE=Benno;133739]For vehicle signage I was thinking of using a couple of Vistaprint door magnets on either side.

Ive used the door magnets on my trailer for a couple of years and...
Buy new. You'll spend more in servicing old gear.
Buy a shindy or echo multitool with hedger and pole saw and edger and whipper and keep the ryobi in the shed as backup. hedges and tree work will...
One minor downside of the shadecloth is that there is more friction than a tarp when dragging it with a big load across the grass.

Good luck Paul. Buy a SP mower and look after your back.
If I lived on the peninsula I'd never do any work.. every nice day I'd be fishing!
nearly bought a house at Dromana 25 years ago when you...
Well, yeah.. but all that spring they have buggered up your local economy. when they fold or wise up another comes along.

If you are toe-dipping there's no need to drop 3k on a mowing trailer.. a $200 second hand 6x4 will get your son started. I'm still mowing with one ( well, two) five years on.
Trailer choice...
Its a stumpjumper cod lure. As you retrieve they dive. If you hit a snag you stop and they float up above it. They have a really exiting action, particuarly in the current, almost as if you already...
Got my first Murray Cod at blue tongue bend on the yarra this afternoon. Great afternoon.

Client just texted and said I had cut his overhead phone line while pruning.. I'll go and have a look this morning. Anyone done this? who repairs them, telstra? are they dear to fix?

Mine is a 6- step(including the platform). Anything bigger would be too unweildy I think. the platform is at 1.8 metres.
I bought a guardall but wish I had spent the extra and bought the gorilla. ...
Ive had a run of women ringing up and saying'mow my lawn' and the next day ringing back and saying their husband is going to do it.
I reckon they just got the quote to shame their hubby into it....
Actually thy will still complain with quotes.. several times I have had complaints after I have finished a job that I didn't take enough time about it. . they were happy with the price, they were...
So.. my understanding is that the client says 'do whatever is needed' but you don't like detailing what you do and the times.( and , ergo, your hourly rate.) OK its a pain, but as long as the...
some of the manufacturers have a 6-month guarantee on the zip. Tom
steel blue zipsiders.. all the support of laceups without the dramas. great soles too. however zips give out after a year and they cost $250. anyone know a place that will replace zips?
I live in a cheap little pocket surrounded by more expensive suburbs.. I have hardly any local work because people think its too dear. $40 minimum for anything, and I tell em on the phone. $50/ hr ...
You have to pay upfront if you want even a sandwich! And a mechanic can hold your car for ransom if you don't pay for the work he has done.
Tenancy cleanups and other dodgy jobs: upfront

I do hedges up to 3.3m with a shindy multitool and a Platform ladder from total tools. Go and have a look at them.
