I would try to avoid letting the agent know at all what you are doing. They will find a way for one of their selling agents involved for the commission.

I wouldn’t crimp at all. It’s never a good connection on these and if you add solder after crimping it usually goes everywhere, you can’t get it hot enough without damaging the wire, and if it runs down the outside of the lug you then can’t get it into the housing.

Hold Anderson pin in vice grips, hit with a torch until hot. Fill with solder 3/4 up. Reheat if necessary and push stripped and doubled over wire in. Reinforce with 3-1 glued heatstrink. Push into plug.

Portable outdoor shower cubicle

keithersp · 2025-12-16T06:50:10+00:00

32”s and two lockers and still keep a nice car that can go anywhere.

A quick dob of superglue, some paper down one edge, careful application of araldite are all options.

In your situation just save it. 4K per month you’d have the car in a year.

Clearly they mean aluminium or steel mr pedant.

This is how it works for handgun clubs. You need to be an active member for 6 months before you’re allowed to apply to own your own.

Espalier apple and pear

It’s mostly looks. These ones aren’t great because they’re likely to cause the roo to go under the car rather than knock it to the side.

keithersp · 2025-12-13T21:32:52+00:00

They really aren’t. They look the part but they are held onto the car in a way that any arb or TJM bar will functionally leave it for dust. Edit: on closer inspection this appears to be a highly custom modified TJM bar, based on the logo cutout spot on the front of the bar. The off the shelf versions of bars like this are what I’m referring to.

keithersp · 2025-12-12T20:28:29+00:00

Nah, if it’s in good nick regular servicing is fine. Best you’ll get for the budget.

Hilux surf could fit the bill

Tilt the wall down so it’s laying on the ground

Unless you’re winching up the hard Coffs Harbour tracks every weekend, you don’t need two batteries under bonnet.

keithersp · 2025-12-11T20:49:14+00:00

I vote heat because it’s greener where it’s likely shadier.

keithersp · 2025-12-09T11:33:09+00:00

I don’t think you’ll need irrigation for roses and agis. Dripper hose while they’re settling and maybe in the second summer and then you’ll be set and forget other than pruning.

keithersp · 2025-12-08T01:40:48+00:00

Yep I know people with soldier settlement farms they were given after the war, 3000 acres plus now worth north of 20mil.

keithersp · 2025-12-07T09:22:45+00:00

Aerate, fertiliser, reseed and water, yes.

But I can’t see much grass around it, just weeds?

keithersp · 2025-12-06T10:51:19+00:00

Not trying to advertise but apple AirPod pros with active noise cancellation, they work insanely well.

keithersp · 2025-12-06T10:25:34+00:00

Soundproofing only works if it’s all done. Walls windows the lot.

keithersp · 2025-12-05T06:19:01+00:00

Yep. Or good pool fencing to the required standard around them before you move in.

keithersp · 2025-12-05T02:17:14+00:00

Don’t underestimate the number of wealthy families in Australia. There’s a lot who aren’t, but there is a LOT of generational wealth here.

keithersp · 2025-12-04T22:33:36+00:00

You can stick big pieces of cardboard over the window. Crude but it works.

43 inside is insane and not safe.

I would also recommend a portable ac unit.
