Don't want to be spraying any of that in customers lawns as it is the only thing growing that needs to be mowed.
    Agreed lads,has really slowed down here over the last 2 weeks,could piss down for a week at the moment and I'd be happy. Luckily I seem to be getting a steady stream of clean ups and garden work to keep the beer flowing

    We should have lunch and a couple of beers one day before the **** fight starts again in spring?

    I know what you mean, i rolled up at 3 different jobs today, and couldnt justify taking the mower off, as I would have being lucky if the grass had grown a millimetre since my last visit. Oh well better go lay some tiles in the ensuite

    Sounds like my day.

    I had a $600 day planned today but just as I was about to leave daycare my youngest fella had a big vommit so he had to come home with me.
    He's slept most of the day so I've been washing, fixing doorhandles and other domestic chores!

    Lost another day to rain here today. Thought I would get some done . Had a couple of biggish ones to do out past me. Got halfway through the first and down she came. Finished it off and then and went and built a flat pack laundry cupboard for another client. I have exhausted my back up indoor jobs. Hope it is fine tomorrow as I am not working Friday. Off to the Gold Coast for an ex Navy mates 50th. Gonna be a hard weekend.

    Rain, rain and more rain.

    Might be worthwhile planting rice this Spring.

    Whats the common thing with other members, I have become soft in my old age, and tend to stop work on days like today when it rains most of the time. My Girlfriend just turned up and said she passed a few others on the road, still busily working away in the rain.

    Nice day here. About 16 - 17 degrees. Huge day's work at one location from 9.15 - 5. Good earner for the day and only about 10kms travelled.

    We've had a very dry winter so far. Probably less than 10mm total. I think we got our year's worth in the flash flood at the start of the year.

    I would love to mate but I don't think that is likely as I am getting picked up at the airport then we are off out to Micks place. He lives on some property out the back of the GC somewhere. I fly out at 1200hrs on Sunday and by that stage I definitely won't want another beer. But I will do my best with the rain. Although it was a pearler of a day here today. Started early and worked like the clappers to catch up. Nearly did too but they can wait till next week. I had to get home to do my own lawn as i wont be here on the weekend.....it's time to party
