Well, the silence is deafening. Not even an acknowledgement to the letter.

Meantime, my builder is ready to go, but the temporary fencing around the neighbour's house is too far onto my block. I rang the mob last Friday to ask them to move the fencing back to the title boundary. I hade to ring THREE TIMES - 9am, "they're all on the phone, I'll get someone to call you"; 2pm, "they've been been in meetings all morning, I'll give them the message again"; 3pm, "they're all on the phone" "I'll wait" (for at least 5 minutes!)

Finally, "yes we'll get that organised, may take a few days". Checked it out Tuesday night - no activity on the fence front, but there are fresh tyre tracks and a nice timber path has been laid over the muddy surface so they can unload the roof batts and trek them across the boundary. Section of fence has been swung open like agate, and not even bothered to "close" it afterwards.

4pm Wednesday, call comes in - "it will be done today", ie yesterday, Wednesday. That should mean it has already been done. It hadn't been done by midday - I was sitting there watching my investment.

Anyone available - dezz? - to check today that the temporary fence is basically up against the garage of the neighbour's house? Really appreciate any help here.

If fencing isn't moved by Friday, it certainly will be on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, thinking of going down with a trailer to remove some crap that is stacked up the back of my block. While I'm there, any of the cement blocks that support their fence been left on my block get loaded onto the trailer as well!

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.

      Time to decide what’s more import, your power level or your budget because you’re going to struggle to keep both
