    If I've done my rough maths right... the repayments on that house with a $600k deposit would still be about $800 per day...OMG.

    Gotta wonder why you need two kitchens?!? You'd need a full time housekeeper just to keep on top of the dusting and vacuuming.

    Pool's nice!

    One of the kitchens is in a self contained unit thing in the backyard which is probably worth more than my house.

    I did a function at a guys house. The whole third floor was dedicated to entertaining. Complete with comercial kitchen, and commercial wash up area!

    I just use my bull handle brushcutter.

    There is a strip of pavers between the two lawns, so I just edge my clients lawn and occasionally hit the neighbours lawn if it starts to creep over the pavers.

    Started the day with only 3 regs to do,pulled up at the first one when the phone rings. Lady has a 1000sqm block and needs a quote,she's leaving home in 30 mins so I say no probs your only 10mins away I'll head over now.She did warn me it was feral




    Now for the back yard











    3.5 hrs later it looked like this







    The poor buggers had paid for a pool,half way through builder went broke so now their stuck with a concrete hole,should be laws against this ****

    Turned an average day into a very profitable one.

    Mate nice job. Wasn't in too bad nick. You should have seen the jungle we did today. Knew I should have taken a pic. Wasn't as big as yours but had thistles and marshmallows higher than me. Took us an hour and a half to get it done but didn't look as good as yours in the end.
    Cheers
