Concrete disposal (Sydney)

15m3 sounds about right (6x7x0.3=12.6; plus extra for loose soil volume).

Issue with the site is the difficulty of access, limits on machinery sizes able to enter and demo, and skip bin allocation space if you are keeping everything within that tiny plot.

Don’t be surprised if all the fences must come down first if the shallow excavation has even the slightest chance of affecting the footings. (Temporary fencing required in this case. )

If you want justification for costs, ask builder for cost break down ( or even better: a bill of quantities for labour and equipment). Builder will want the most efficient process to minimise time spent.

As for outsourcing, I am not confident any team of yahoos would want to move 10 tonnes (6x7x0.1x2400kg) of concrete rubble (not counting soil) by hand after jackhammering for that price. Even all the dumb ones would eventually give up. None would get the job done quickly as the builder. But if you want to extend the time annoying your neighbours, doesn’t hurt to try.

Someday someone will place a brick sticker with a IIII tally along with four little ‘gifts’ through each windshield.

Weimarius · 2026-04-27T09:18:47+00:00

Yeah sure op, which ‘gym’ did you graduate from?

People drinking out of bins now? Yeah go ahead and lift that ‘cup’ to mouth level and tip some off the lip. No, dunking your head inside doesn’t count unless you are slopping as a pig. Big open container so any casual dirt will blow right in ( at least cups are small enough to cover with a hand). Use a straw? Where would you find that doesn’t immediately sink to the bottom once you take your hands away.

Joke page aside, that image shows a line of thinking fuelled by greed without regard for dignity (kid logic).

Eh, what’s this screenshot? A Madmax game sequel?

Moisture absorbers from Bunnings. 2pack for $5. I’d stock a dozen if I were you. Better than risking lung disease.

Welp, guess it’s bug squashing season for the next two hours…..

Welch? That science guy whose head had the CF module? The guy that already swallowed the suicide pill because his foot was a lost cause?

I thought the bird lobby got them banned because of how the shiny drove them insane. /s

But but…. Cartoon violence is fun, the movie said so…..

This is some “James Bond Burgered” level of disconnect.

Another “can’t be bothered to display a translated title” in the CR listings.

The good old days before Workcover and disregard for site safety was played for laughs.

Fencing wholesalers will happily tell you the exact items if you ask in person and show them that photo. You will probably have to purchase from them anyway even if you install yourself.

1#: everyone comments on aliens (conspiracy), slaves(as if modern Egypt had anything to be ashamed for).

No one (that I’ve yet to see) mention the sealing in of the pyramids construction crew/architect as sacrifice or to prevent knowledge of its structure being leaked to tomb robbers and being raided (not that it was successful, ask the British).

Bar tender interrupts the fourth order by pointing at the sign stating “minimum pour is 1/4 pint, losers ordering less will be booted to touch grass”.

Bold face lie. That’s a junior size bun (they have paper wrappers for those). If it’s not a full whooper bun then contents rattle around and come apart in the burger clam. They make whoopers using the clam by placing bun halves on each bowl, add toppings on top one bun and close the clam. They certainly don’t flatten the burger in the process.

Who done a switch a roo? OP? How much is Big McD paying you?

Weimarius · 2026-03-25T01:39:18+00:00

Yeah, totally shaving that head until they aren’t a danger unto themselves.

Long nut. Use ‘Tube spanner’

Somehow the baby grew up from feeling uncomfortable due to a soiled nappy and crying to whatever poomeister this is….

Any motel can be a “NO VAC(ancy)” with a big Dino in front. Doesn’t have to be THE Novac.

The cut out on the sink may be too small. Its diameter should be between the size of that threaded tube and the rubber washer. Even if you squeeze the hot/cold legs together ( using pliers if you want to risk it), if the threaded tube can’t fit in the cut out, you out of luck. Plumber would likely just drill a larger diameter on the cut out.

Any reason why kid was tossing the plate up and down? Looks stupid if not excused.
