actually I wouldn't mind finding my fence lines, and key levels :thumbsup:

Can't imagine it would be fun to do a 1300spm sloping block though.

eep upwey! last job i did there it nearly drove me insane! took 2 day and the block had a height different from top to bottom of about 16 meters on a kinda standard 800spm block :S might be a bit much for a weekend job lol

im a network engineer and Rigger. :action-smiley-069:

Intersting combination!

I work at cadbury :P

On the upside i get cheap chocolate and a good pay rate. Worst job in the world though

I was a network engineer/PM at Cadbury for aboput 5 years. I wonder if the crew is still the same out at Ringwood/St Kilda.

That happens at Schweppes in Tullamarine. The company I work for is contracted to do a bit of electrical work there.

It's funny though, all depends which security guard you get at the gate. Some just glance in the back of the van, while others will want to see inside your toolbox :(

They always used to do it at Ringwood too :rofl: We had em sorted though ;)

You will be fine until about 20 years later when you will 5-10% more likely to develop cancer and in particular Mesothelioma or cancer of the lining of the lung which is at this stage completely incurable and see you essentially drown to death in your own lung juice in a year or two. Alternatively you will be fine. So ya.. about the same as if you smoked a few cigarettes really :thumbsup:.

My occupation is packer at Coles, yes it's a rubbish job but it pays.

Would love to work more hours than what I'm currently working.

There are some interesting jobs out there.

Asbestos is harmless if swallowed. It is only the respiratory system which is affected.

And yes Asbestos could be substituted for smoking, i'm not sure it would provide quite the same feeling though :P but the hazard is about the same!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
