    Yeah I have been getting into it a bit lately with my oldest boy, he is 8. The bug is starting to bite, so I was checking out a new board the other day, $950 might have to save up for it. That right hander looks good ..mm if it is hot tomorrow I could be surfing by lunch time

    Was talking to another contractor yesterday about the number of contractors without insurance. Thing is they'll openly tell you they don't have it & it's a waste of money. There's got to be some way of exposing these fools to the public.

    all insurances are the same. Will be useful when need it or waste money if you never claim it. Sometimes, we need this just for peace of mind or feeling secured

    Just been rethinking insurance.

    I need Public Liability to get commercial and body corp work because I am asked to show a certificate and wouldn't get the job otherwise. Clients like to see it on the business card too.

    The excess is pretty high so I'd probably be better off just paying out if I broke something. Arguably if I broke something I don't have to pay for it anyway( their stone, their window...) I can't think of a scenario that would lead to a claim. Any of you guys claimed on PL?

    Trailer and tools insurance is pretty high too. How many years of not paying $900 a year for something you never use means you come out ahead?

    Might be a personality thing.. the missis and I cashed in our life insurance so we could go to her mum's funeral in the UK. Might die tomorrow, got to live today!

    What other insurances do you guys hold?

    The guy who lost a blade off a ride-on and killed someone in North Queensland a couple of years ago might have needed it.

    Would not go without public liability, if that stone hit someone instead of a window you will be up for a lot more than a window. Or consider a scenario where you start a fire. It is just not legite to go without public liability.

    As for the rest I insure my trailers and big rider. I have claimed 2 bent decks on the mower so that has paid for itself.

    The rest I self insure.

    You must have public liability.

    I would not mow a lawn without public liability insurance, I think you will find a everyone else on the forum would be the same, don't leave home without it...

    At home today , got the flu really bad, so just looking at gum tree, a guy has put an add up saying how great he is , you know the usual palava I will mow snip blow paint your house take six loads of rubbish to the dump and wash your dog for twenty bucks. Funny thing is he has put up a picture of one of my jobs. Sometimes I wonder how one of these clowns would respond to a punch in the head. One guys add said he has been in the business for 7 months so you know he is in it for the long haul, classic
