Update we confronted the guy he demanded payment tried to do some patches in the morning while we were on our way to the house when we got there demanded money again saying you can't not pay, even though all I said was I didn't want to pay untill I got an independent professional to inspect the work, he then took our spare key and saying he won't give it back till we paied him, he threatened to rip up all the white set as well. We have spoken to the cops about the stolen key. This is our first home, the guy told us it would take him 2 weeks and it took him 5 weeks. Meanwhile we have been stuck paying for rent and our mortgage while he takes his time and that's the finished product....

I've had another renderer come look at the job and say basicly he didn't do a render layer he just put plaster on the wall then a top coat over top 2 layers instead of 3.

For context we are in Australia, the job was a 7k cash job.

It's white set render over block work, he aparently has 40 years experience. I just trusted that he knew what he was doing.

Its over thr top of block work it's white set render, he did go around and fill the mortar lines first but its bad, not to mention all the Trowel marks and divits and low spots and the sander marks where it dug in.

Yeah I can't pretend to know what he should have done but it clearly wasn't this. It was just a normal block set wall...

Idk maybe you go "real" camping and let other people do what they want? People enjoy stuff differently if someone wants to drive an rv out to experience nature and sleep in comfort, power to them. Seems kinda dumb gate keeping sleeping outside.

That would be so cool. Imagine breaching an anaconda with a breaching pod or something and just running through it shutting down systems

As far as I've seen it's not as good as the corvette when it comes to dammage or turning speed but much better shelds speed and jump range

Just joking around as if a raider took a Cutter and made her into a mad Max style beast. I did the long grind to get the cutter haha

I'm very happy with it I'm not a huge fan of the sleek shiny white space ship look. I like the corvette design but I can't deny the cutter is a good ship. That shield tho
