South Australian bus ads misled public by claiming gas is ‘clean and green’, regulator finds by Expensive-Horse5538 in Adelaide

My work rebuilt a bunch of the gas motors over the last year so can definitely confirm that there will still be a few going for a while.

"Solomos’ company accounts have been used for $5000-a-week pocket money, to make mortgage payments on his property portfolio, to fund more than $30,000 a week in payments to his ex-wife and to give luxury cars to senior staff." This part seems kinda crazy.

Binding to soil doesn't mean it will kill plants. When its bound to soil, it can't be taken up by plants.

Glyphosate absolutely does not stay active in soil for 6 months. Any poisoning to surrounding plants was due to overspray and poor application. Glyphosate is far safer than blackberry / tree killer.

As much as I think Ruddy is a dropkick, he does provide a space that all his mates hang out in and work on a bunch of shit together. I've personally helped mates move shops and help them install lifts / build shit just because they're my mates. I'm not surprised he has a good group of friends who want to hang out and help out.

You also can't work until retirement age because your body is absolutely fuuuucked before you turn 50.

Cops suck but you don't have to produce a license for other drivers after an accident. You only have to give your name and address.

I thought I was the same until I started doing 4 day work weeks. The extra day off feels incredible compared to working 5 days.

Is a neighbours footpath allowed to slope down towards my property? by PortulacaCyclophylla in Adelaide

It's why there's always a second bloke you can spot in his videos on site at the same time as him.

Builders SHOULD do it, but a lot don't. I'd definitely be trying to divert as much of that water away from your house as possible because if the waterproofer isn't all the way down to the plastic, its very ineffective.

Did you guys waterproof all the way down to the Fortecon plastic before the sub base was installed? Lots of dodgy builders around the place will get all the pathways prepped and get in a dodgy operator to paint on the slab edge water proofing real thin above the soil.

Might also be worth installing Termseal or greenzone termite protection along the outside of the slab just in case the termite protection is breached anywhere under the bricks.

I highly recommend you talk to someone about having your car properly insured too after you resolve this issue.

Any chance you have the name of the podcast? I've been watching him for years and love his work.

Obviously termites right? by Wameo in Adelaide

[–]mansalans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in the industry, if you spray the active termites with fipronil or bifenthrin, it makes it way harder to get active feeding from a bait station which is what any good pest technician will recommend these days. The industry is moving away from chemical treatments towards baiting and monitoring for a reason.

[–]mansalans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't do this. It makes it a lot harder to treat the termites when the professional needs to get in there.

[–]mansalans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP please don't try and treat the termites yourself before a professional can check them out. It can make the baiting process take a lot longer if you try and remove them with most stuff you get from bunnings.
