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.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
