Repco 35% off this thursday with voucher. Pick up your voucher beforehand with purchase.
Includes batteries so the shop assistant told me as she had yet to see anything to say otherwise.
I hope this helps someone out here.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180115/2be728868927d225b375238eb80e2db9.jpg)

I sold my caravan on the weekend and the bloke who bought it wanted my weight distribution hitch, stonestomper and McHitch so I needed to get a new wdh. I had already sussed out the new Hayman Reese system and because I need the longer drop shank was looking at $900+ and the new heads aren't compatible with the classic shanks. I kept my long drop shank as the new owners had a Prado which only needed the standard shank which I still had. Looking on eBay on Saturday and spotted an unused classic set which I picked up for $417 and can use my old drop shank. The set hadn't even been assembled so I am stoked.

Old mate from Coles was quick to load his back onto the trolley when he saw me eyeing off the ones he’d left in the corner of our kitchen for a few minutes.
And I got my first ever bargain from Myers last night.
For the last few days I’ve been looking at business style backpacks for carry on luggage on an upcoming work trip trough Europe.
Last night I happened to search the Myer website (I never shop at Myers) and they had some click frenzy sale on that ended in 20 minutes.
$200 Samsonite backpack for $99, almost $30 cheaper then any online store. Happy with that.

Oh they are people there to serve, you just can't see them. ;)
If you have a man bun and a perfectly groomed beard you'll get a couple of them sneek out of the shadows to offer assistance.
But if you're a young black guy you'll have 30 of them hovering around you and following your every move through the whole store..... :police:

They can be used for anything I suppose. I just liked that they fold flat and aren't the crap plastic that splinters the first time you put anything in them, and they have verticle sides, and they stack really well........

Same here. did online order once and it came in 6-8 crates. Said they would pick the crates up on next order. We haven't ordered online again as some of the produce they deliver isn't as good as selecting it yourself instore.

Yeah they'll also be perfect for the boat. Drinks and cold into a cooler bag, which takes up half a crate and the rest for dry stuff. Sits under the fold out seat at the back .

I especially like that they take an SD card up to 128 gigs.
Especially nice being able to just put the SD card from the camera in the tablet and download all the photos.
Ours is wireless and Bluetooth so if it needs internet I can connect to my phone via personal hotspot.

I had a sudden brain flash, and thought.... "I bet he's pulled the valve apart, and put it back together wrong". I checked the securing nut, sure enough, finger tight... I removed the control valve, removed two screws from the top of the valve and opened it up to see how it worked. I rotated the cone so that it was 180deg from where it was, and refitted the valve top, so that now the pin in the spindle had to face 180 deg to match the slot in the cone. Put it all back together and voila it works like a charm.
Please note, I, in no way condone DIY gas appliance repair and maintenance, and highly recommend that you take your appliances to a licensed gas fitter for repairs. Along with your very full wallet
Especially if you can't pull something apart, and put it back together again properly....... >:D >:D >:D

Garage Sales again today. I picked up a Weber baby Q 1000 for $30.00 (I knocked him down from $40.00…Good pickup. Bought one for $50 with a cover and almost full 9kg cylinder. Quick clean and sold on Gumtree for $120 with no haggling. Already have 3 Webers.

Picked up an outdoor gas heater with the glass tube a few months back. “Needs repair” said the ad. Called the guy “the o-ring’s perished”. $100 for a $450 heater. Actually needed to be pulled apart to clean the spiderweb out of the burner but again very simple task.

Also agree, but most (?) things have a label on them somewhere "No user serviceable parts inside. For repair, contact an authorised service agent", so people think Stuff it, it's easier & cheaper to just get a new one :'(many a time it doesn't cost much more for the part you need then buying a whole new item, so why wouldn't you buy a new one.
Post by: Pete79 on July 30, 2018, 05:23:49 PM
many a time it doesn't cost much more for the part you need then buying a whole new item, so why wouldn't you buy a new one.Hence the 18 month old printer sitting on the floor outside my office right now. The callout fee for onsite repairs was more then a whole new unit. I needed a new one ASAP to keep working and couldn’t wait the week or more the repair shop needed.
I’m sure it’s something really simple and kept it for now, thinking about pulling it apart myself, if I can fix it up I might give it away on the swaggers giveaway thread. If I pull it apart and wreck it, I’ll take it to the e-waste recycle place.

Forty.
The guy did the full ground up reno less then 6 years ago and was now going to demo it to build a modern Queenslander on the site.
All new electrical and plumbing throughout, all new interior walls (all asbestos gone), ceilings raised up to 9’, fully insulated, double glazed windows, new bath and kitchen.
Should be delivered to my block in about 10-12 weeks.
Edit;
Forgot to mention the 8m X 8m covered timber deck that comes with it. ;)

You will have to start a thread on it, I have often wondered about transporting a house like that to a block of land so will be interesting to see what the hurdles are along the way. One that I have read of is finance, basically, the problem is a bank won't give you a loan to do it, they will revalue what you have once you have a certificate of occupancy and you can then remortgage at the new value but you need to be able to fund it in the short term at least.

One big hurdle, it’s a huge hurdle actually... Local Council..
They hate relocated houses. :(
They put strict guidelines for how the house looks from the street and make you pay a $20k bond, if they’re not happy with the finished job they won’t sign it off and keep the bond until it’s up to their standards.
That’s why we only looked at places already renovated and had good facades. This one is a traditional double gable with a good pitch on the roof.
This is a granny flat for the inlaws, so has to be under 90m2. We got lucky with this one, it’s 88m2 and is the right shape to fit on one truck. Essentially a door to door delivery, all in one piece.
Fortunately we’re not dealing with banks, but I know they will cover the council bond, I assume that means they could cover the house as well.
Will start a thread at move time.

Watching the house mover guys on Outback Truckers doesn't fill me with confidence in thier building either.

The certifier is going to want the house to be brought up to the current National Construction Code (2016) standard. This will affect things like wind loading ratings, tie down points, fire codes, energy efficiency certificates, glazing, certificates for aspects like waterproofing, glazing of shower screens etc.
See if you can get any certificates (form 16) you can from the current owner relating to the existing renovations. Mind you most of these certificates attach to the existing land and not the house so may not be acceptable.
Good score and good luck.

Pete your right the council are the 1st problem, what will no consistent policy for secondary buildings wastewater reports etc. Then there is the building certifier.Funny you mention the building certifier....

I rang my guy that I used to approve our main house and the extension and the 2nd bathroom and the new shed and the 2nd driveway before I bought this house.
He was more then happy to take my money on all of the other work, but straight up declined to do anything for the relocated house.
Doesn’t surprise me though, why would you take on a job where you might have to do something more then stamp a piece of paper for your hundreds and hundreds of dollars....
Plenty of other fish in the sea and the next phone call was to a company that was more then happy to work with relocated places.
You’re correct with everything needing to be brought up to current codes.
We did have an issue with bushfire zones, but looks like that is resolved.
My engineer is currently drawing up the plans for tying down the trusses and bracing. We’re all good with energy efficiency and glazing.
Thanks for mentioning getting the certificates from the work that’s been done recently.
That’s a great point and the current/former owner is a great guy, I’m sure he’ll be more then happy to give me what he can.
@rumpig,
I happened to look at a house in the yard of the company that was in outback truckers recently.
They absolutely hacked the trusses into pieces, I couldn’t see anyway to make them structural again (well not without seriously major work).
That specific house had be split in half for transport on 2 trucks. It was destroyed.
The rear wall had blown out, the ceiling had collapsed in both sections, all of the ceiling fans were bent and broken, the reasonably new kitchen had been smashed and needed to be ripped out and replaced. The sliding glass doors hadn’t been strapped properly and smashed all over the floor.
We couldn’t get out of that yard fast enough.
We had inspected other yards and didn’t see anything close to that level of damage.
It really looked like the crew working on that house just didn’t give a crap.
Post by: Rumpig on July 30, 2018, 10:20:17 PM
@rumpig,pretty much how they look on the show then.......the house we repaired didn't look bad on the outside, it was only when you climbed in the roof you got a nasty surprise. The way they had cleated undersized pieces of timber with batten screws to the old rafters they'd cut in half was pretty laughable if it wasn't so serious, it really wasn't hard to use the right sized timber and bolts like we did to repair it (would have been alot easier with no roof iron on). Obviously there's good and bad removalist's out there, I hope yours goes well, you seem to have half an idea what to look for by the sounds of it.

Don't be hard on the certifier, the poor buggered are being bent over and stuffed. Insurance is killing them. My work colleague is a non practicing certifier, he has to maintain insurance to cover him for his previous work in certifying and he has just receive his insurance renewal which is $24000. His broker told him that it is unlikely to reduce anytime soon but likely to rise. He is obligated to maintain this for the life of the buildings he has certified previously.
Why so much, because they take all the risk, long after the builders 6 or 7 year defect warranty expires and it can be attributed to events like Grenfall building fire UK and non- conforming building products becoming an issue.
I can't think of any other industry that you are still responsible long after clocking off on the job.
Certifies are jacking up there rates to try and cover this anomaly.

Down here the Council will allow backyard granny-flats, but they have to look the same as the main house ie brick house so must have brick flat, even if there's no way of it being seen from the street :'(

For rural properties (like ours) granny flats have to be clearly separate dwellings, no bigger then 90m2 and all dwellings combined can’t take up more then 50% of the total land area.
It’s just that they worry about people buying rundown 100 year old houses, dropping them on a block of land and never fixing them up. Obviously the council don’t want blocks full of dilapidated house all over the place. So all relocated houses have to apply for an Amenities and Aesthetics approval, this is where they set the bond for the house you want to put on the block.
It’s supposed to give you incentive to finish the job to a high standard, but what it actually does is takes $20k out of your reno budget and makes it harder for most people to afford a high quality finish....

That should get a few more customers through the door eh. But wouldn't they seem more genuine if they were raffling off a major prize to raise money? I dunno call me cynical, but you'd think they'd spring for more than a sausage sizzle and meet tray raffle if they really wanted to raise a decent amount of money for the farmers.

Was just in Bunnings and looks like they have a knockoff OzTent King Kokoda, it was by their Marquee brand and had something to do with king in its name, looked ok from a quick look and was quite comfortable to sit in. I can't find it on their website and was in the middle of an idle for anyone who is interested but was a grand total of only $29
just picked one of these up today (called the marquee king chair)... very comfortable and appears to be of a decent quality... quite light too...
for $29 for the old boy for father's day, it will be just fine... :) he doesn't use it all the time...
they were all in a pallet-sized carton in the main centre aisle in my local bunnings (near the esky aisle), standing on their end, with a light brown carry bag...

Rays Outdoors sent me a $20 voucher and I noticed that they also have a pretty good discount on their Expedition swags - single for $119 less $20 = $99 and $40 more for the double.
So, are the expedition swags worth it and if so, should I go single or double given I will be using it alone and double is obviously bigger and heavier?

Still thinking about whether or not this is a bargain so thought I’d ask the My Swag brains trust.

There were also new covers for CF110 waecos also $5 so took a punt that they would fit my old Coolmatic 110. Got 3 at that price ( down from $150) but will have move the fan position on the fridge to match the cover. The old Coolmatic must be 25 years old now.

My wife wanted to go to Spotlight so tagged along and while she looked at yarn I went into Anaconda. Glad I did.

Anaconda used to be my go to place for camping equipment. But over the last year it's turned more into a clothing store then a camping store. Only a small corner dedicated to camping gear.

Fishing, clothing, fishing, little bit of boating, fishing, clothing, electronic gadgets, fishing, and a small dark corner of crappy camping gear.

So who is doing decent camping gear?
Snowys (SA, QLD, or online), Tentworld, or small independent shops.

I liked kangaroo tent city when we lived in Sydney and before they shut down the Parramatta store.
I haven’t actually walked into a Kelly’s store yet.
Anaconda are ok for the basics.
If you know what you want and not in a rush to get it, you can watch out for the anaconda sales and pay a fair price. If your not getting at least 30% off at anaconda you’re getting ripped off (because at some point in the next couple of months that item will be on sale for at least 30% off).

Same as the unit on 4wdsupacentre site, I've got one, works ok, I've added a grill to the internal base of mine plus some more venting on the door. Paint may burn off when you get her real hot but for that money who cares.
