Still, the never ending story of container sorting.
This time a taxi truck to bring furniture from mate DPM’s place to the container.
Jaycar, car fridges with spots for two lithium batteries. Fridge $400.
Batteries from $70 to $440 each. (!!?!??!)
We spot this guy on his motor bike.. He obviously has a sense of fun. Good on him. Or is he trying to make a statement? In which case, what is the statement?
House appliance shopping.
We could get this small statue. Give the place a bit of class. (?)
Why curtains? Why not just Plantation shutters. Good alternative.
Bunnings. Sinks.
Laundry cupboards.
Anti slip plastic/rubber mesh to put under loose rugs, so they are not. Loose that is.
I have this new camera. Well it was five years ago. Used twice. Thing is the replacement is about $1200
It got a fault. Will cost $600 to fix it. I think the container was dropped when coming back to Australia. That is it had three good solid mezzanines, When it arrived, one had snapped. So I would say it got a serious jolt that broke the sensor.
Anyway, some one can have it for nothing and if prepared to fix it, will get a $1200 camera for $600. I won’t because I have two already.
But no one is going to do that. Won’t take the ‘risk.’ But it’s a calculated risk and not much risk at all.
e.g. Years ago I had a chance to buy a two poster Brasilia coffee machine. It was brand new but had a tide mark half way down the body where it and hence the works were immersed.
I had a good look and saw basically the pump and a control box may have been damaged. I priced the control box which was $110. The pump I guessed at $300. I went ahead and paid $1000 for the machine. I got the control box for $110 and the pump was fixed for $50. So total $1160. So I got a brand new machine for $1160. They cost $5000!
Listen carefully. I have never followed the following statement enough to be hugely successful BUT I have done ‘things’ like this before because of a saying I heard years ago.
“Successful people do things that UN-successful people aren’t prepared to do.” The best lesson you will ever get.
On to Anne’s, cousin Scott’s, daughter’s birthday. That;s a mouthful. I haven’t shown a good pic because even though people I know are cool, some sicko might tap into the blog so not a good idea to put photos of cute kids.
A good get together. 9.30pm and it’s home time. LATE for us. Home. For tomorrow we must move … at least 100 metres.
zzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzz
You might have seen one or two before.
