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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
