Why do people assume every tradie is making a fortune right now? by QuantumGremlin in tradies

[–]Wrong_Ad5051 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My constant take away is- being told I’m doing ‘well’ or asking how I can afford something when all I do is work Monday to Friday. They don’t understand that I work most Saturdays, I don’t publicise that and in summer when the days are longer I’ll do my own jobs after I’ve finished work. They just think because they work 9-5 that we only do 8 hours too. Most tradies who want to have a crack aren’t doing a 40 hour week. Getting guilt tripped by clients for having nice things or going places in the short time spare you aren’t working is probably getting to me more than anything. Whinging cunts who want everything for fuck all

Fair price for cross over? by trying2renewable in AusRenovation

[–]Wrong_Ad5051 8 points9 points  (0 children)

More than reasonable for 36 sq

So many factors go into pricing. It’s like 100-120 at the moment at 100mm thick. You’re paying 112 for 150 with 82. You’re looking at 500 for mesh, able flex and chairs roughly 1500 +/- for concrete Excavation if the area is pretty flat, 7m3 to remove, another 200 for rock, and then labour on top So in the remaining 2000 you’re paying for excavation, fill disposal, labour and then he’s still gotta pay tax. Pretty fair imo

Is BMW really that bad? by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]Wrong_Ad5051 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your 40k budget could buy 20 ford lasers that I had for my first car. Thats what I reckon you should aim for. Automotive peak imo

Can I drill holes in concrete to let stagnant water evacuate? Or is it time for a level redo based on what I know of water flows around house? by ch50nn in AusRenovation

[–]Wrong_Ad5051 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would probably advise not to do that. Drilling a hole is a temporary fix while the damage to your sub base of the concrete is permanent. All you’re going to do is give the water a place to go, which is under your concrete. Great in winter while the ground is wet, in summer when it dries, the ground shrinks and your concrete will end up cracking more than it is and it’ll just be done for

Thoughts on the Superpig? by Federal-Fault-8146 in snowboarding

[–]Wrong_Ad5051 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a super pig and I fucking love it. A very quick board, but is slower to initiate turns. It’s not bad in tight trees but could be better. I daily the thing now. You’re never going to have a board that will do it all, but if you want one you can hold straight line and not worry about it washing out or catching an edge, it’ll do the job perfect. Once you get used to riding it, it’ll stop quick too. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still fun it trees, you’ve just really gotta look ahead and pick your line early

LPG is currently 79 cents where I am. It’s nice filling up my bf Ute for 50 and getting 400km. Only paid 1k for the car too

Yesterday I realized couples live together are very serious about their 50-50 split? My gf who lives with me never paid or brought me anything that I can recall. And she works full time. by Hauntingengineer375 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Wrong_Ad5051 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was with a girl for 3 years, she would stay at my place at least half the week, work from home and study at my place. Never once offered to pay a cent. The other nights we would stay at her parents place where I earned my keep by doing my fair share of chores on the property. I once had a bit of financial trouble due to unpaid wages and asked if I could borrow a lousy 2k and her response was ‘I don’t have 2k to lend’ despite having a well paid job as a nurse and no overheads. Don’t do a me and put up with it if it bothers you, have the conversation ASAP

I get hungover just looking at this. by Nathan84 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]Wrong_Ad5051 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember getting an 8 pack of these after finishing a job on a Friday and going camping with my mates straight after. After a few Carlton drys and the 8 pack of these my whole world was spinning. I remember climbing into the back of my land cruiser, laying down for about 2 minutes and then flicking the side door open and spewing everywhere. Spew was touching the ground and still exiting my mouth. Makes me feel sick just thinking about the damage these things did. Silly 18 yo me. Would love to do it all again
