These landscape gardener kunce quoting my joint make the trade unions look like far left wing liberal f**ktards as far as pay rates go. Wouldn't mind some of whatever drugs they're on..

My backyard... Around $2k in materials, say $2500 just to highlight the ridiculousness of what they want for labour... First official quote was $5k. Dreaming. Second quote was from a description only, $3-6k, but the third quote, which is my favourite........... $9000

Have to call to confirm that the price includes taking the virginity of his 3 centrefold daughters.

Seriously these kunce are off their heads. It's not even technical work. If I can do it myself, you can't ask for $1500 a day labour, for a job that would take 2 days tops, with a straight face.

And $1500 a day is the $5k quote obviously... Not sure where the $9k mother f**ker gets his 24ct gold timber from...

Clearly you mine that timber out of the ground and it requires a lot of processing like any minerals you dig up.

That he can clad your garden in that at such a low price and so quickly is amazing in and of itself.

Under a union, they wouldn't be able to demand such ridiculous money.

Construction industry is still profitable... Because at the end of the day everyone needs to make money. Except the buyers.
Or essential services need to keep running, because they're essential. And people have no choice but to pay it.

But no one gives a f**k about your garden.

I had a similar experience albeit of a far lower value.

Had a broken pipe in the front yard from a tree root... I dug out the pipe and removed the root, plumber came round cut out a bit of the pipe and attached some sort of joinmatron device... 5 mins work... $300

 

pipe broke again on the weekend (different spot, same reason) so I went to bunnings and bought the part... did it myself in apprx 5 mins

$7

At the moment the people who appear to me to be ripping off the most are specialists in the medical profession.

First visit literally a 5 minute consultation with a few background questions that could have been answered by me filling out a form = $250. Even with $150 paid by Medicare that's extortion of the highest order.

Y'all here complaining about $300 for someone to drive to your house, use materials, fix something and then drive off. But at the same time people here have been discussing hourly charge out rates for IT staff to sit at their desk and take 3 piss breaks an hour for $270+

 

If it cost $300 to see how easy a job is and what materials to use, so you can DIY it in future... Maybe it's not so bad.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
