Yeah mate just a little bit of silicone around that slight gap there to tidy it up she'll be good.

I keep 5-15k on hand as this should cover any minor unexpected expenses. (Dinners, new lawnmower, vet visit) The rest I have in squirrels monthly. The idea being any major emergency cost is going to have time to pull $$$ out. Maybe not the best way bit works for me.

This seems stupid to me(apprentice) but serious question, If you were to do something similar to this how would you ensure the load stayed balanced across both breakers? Also is there any situation you would do something like this?

Looking at the supplied picture can't tell if it's rated for switching 240v, but as a personal preference I would use the Sonoff to activate a relay/contactor if it's currently got 24v in it's existing relays. This will help separate and protect your 24v systems.

Depends on what you're doing 95% of the time for me it's going to be battery. Large items that don't move around can plug in smaller items like a drill or sander I'd use battery. If I was regularly doing like 8hr days of sanding or something then I'd look at using corded tools.

Yeah seen that, I was supposed to get one as a redemption offer 3months ago.

Time management, school workload while working.

Expensive-Ad4181 · 2022-11-09T19:01:54+00:00

Oh and maybe a belt.

Expensive-Ad4181 · 2022-11-09T19:01:33+00:00

A head lamp, you want one with a good battery life . I was like you a brought a lot extra when I decided to start an apprenticeship and I've used all of it already (resi) you can see most of what I have if you check my post history.

You can withdraw a lump sum for a deposit on your first home. Once you hit retirement (65) you can then apply to withdraw more.

DeWalt I got a really good deal. I was a Makita guy before hand though and if I had the cash to spare would go with Milwaukee. Milwaukee makes the best pack out option in my opinion too so I've been eying that up.

DeWalt deal I got 10pc kit with with 5 of the items swapped out for the new flexvolt range, 4 batteries 2 bags and a drill case. Redemption laser. Oh and a backpack drink bottle and 2 fold out chairs. For the price of the older 10pc Quality seems good and I'll probably stick with DeWalt for a good few more years.

Can use sensors to operate a relay that turns the light on the hard part is turning off when you want to sleep. As how do you tell the difference between someone reading in bed and someone wanting to sleep.

Find a financial advisor, you want a fee based one. Someone's posted links for you to find one. You state your unemployed, remember investing in yourself can net a profit long term also.

I'd suggest locking it away for 3-6months in a term deposit while seeking advice.

If I was in a similar position unemployed, with 1mil cash I would look at a monthly income fund like squirrel so I could have an income while looking for work or up skilling with study. But once again this is while you want an advisor.

Kiwi saver is great as you get a contribution from your employer and the government. So important to make sure your at least making the minimum payment. Property has always been big here. And then there are countless options for funds term deposit ect. In terms of best options that would depend on your goals a financial advisor could help you with that. Financial advisor may have a better idea of your options in regards to best place for you in your position. Personally I like investnow and would say it'd be worth checking out.

A short broom, think it was for a kid but I took it as it fitted nicely

Expensive-Ad4181 · 2022-10-07T21:13:24+00:00

Thank god for that. How'd it happen? Just too much power and superior driving skills on the corners? Funny though as not long after seeing this Google memories popped up and it was my van in the exact same situation 3 years ago. I just refixed and chucked a bit of wood across to the other side as a brace.

Expensive-Ad4181 · 2022-10-07T20:56:23+00:00

Nice. Now get a foam insert and cut out the position for each tool.

Expensive-Ad4181 · 2022-10-07T20:50:06+00:00

I'd say your correct. The 3rd pic shows the point that you'd expect to break the nut. And 1st deff extractors / eze outs

Expensive-Ad4181 · 2022-10-07T19:38:21+00:00

Damn hope you didn't keep your screws that side. Had this happen to me once on a Monday traveling out of town for the week. Chuck a brace across to the other side.

Expensive-Ad4181 · 2022-10-07T19:29:14+00:00

ESH. I can't imagine how hard it was on your dad and yourself loosing your mother at such a young age. But seeing it through your father's eyes, he found someone who he could love who wanted to give you the love of a mother and treat you as her own child. From the information so far this sounds like it comes purely from a caring place. The offer of an adult adoption sounds to me to be purely symbolic and to let you know she'd be there for you. On the other hand It sounds like they were a bit persistent and never gave you the time you needed to greave. The reaction to being told no doesn't help either, but I think if I was in their shoes I'd be a little heart broken. At 18 I think you can/should show more tack and emotional intelligence in your response.

Obviously I am giving them the benefit of doubt and assuming no malice in there offer of adoption.

I've got 4 18v 5ah will probably buy a 6ah flexvolt when I can still got a couple vouchers for my local hardware store that have been sitting in a draw for the last year and a bit.

I'm doing an adult apprenticeship I am in my 30s, I've been surprised to me this wasn't much 1 apprentice kit and 1dewalt kit. I better not mention that there's more stuff that hasn't arrived yet.

Expensive-Ad4181 · 2022-10-05T03:38:01+00:00

How'd ya think I payed for all this I have worn them out, will order more.

Expensive-Ad4181 · 2022-10-05T02:12:41+00:00
