There's not much weight in a single story Wooden Frame. Where the frame goes is Made stronger anyhow. Water under the slab is a risk. Buckshot gravel. Nev

I don't think it's a weekender. My house was finished from Go to Woe in NINE weeks in 1973. It CAN be done. No prefabbing or gang nailed trusses. Brick venerial. with a chimney. Nev

Shocking. Is nothing sacred? You won't even be able to hear them come and go and they will never have the bonnet up. Nev

There were some rather severe dust storms at those times too. The dust went all the way to New Zealand.. We have Bugger all topsoil or soil Carbon. Nev -
Never followed any Football or AFL team. Lived in Vic since 1965. Wasn't always easy though, not barracking for anyone. . Nev

Yeah. You can't trust those Bikies. Lock up your grandmothers when THEY come to town. I've Never been able to afford Leathers. Are they any good against Timber trucks? Nev

I don't reckon Broome is what it used to be. It's nearly always warm though, Big tidal effect. Isn't accommodation at a premium? Good luck anyhow. Nev

I think THAT has been done. A trailer set up would be OK too. "Have them for HIRE in suitable places? IMHO the concept of electric with engine back up is sound. It's proven in desert racing but in more ordinary work the engine could be relatively small. Nev

The UK Pound is amazingly High so you get a very god deal at the Moment. Yeah UK was always more expensive than France, especially after your Local friend negotiated L'Addition down by significant amount. Tolls and Essence was trop Chere. I don't mind France. Nev -
With electric there will be no more fighting over Oil resources. No tankers on the road or rail. Blockades won't work and you are more free of Cartels over charging you. It's mostly ALL good. . Nev

Storing stuff in Containers can ruin the stuff you store, quicktime.. Best is sealed and Moisture Proofed and away from Light. Dust always has chemicals in it. Higher up in a shed is dryer and warmer. Protective stable wax can help. . Nev

Australia Has the Most species to start with. Many are delicate, depend on other life forms and can't adapt to change of circumstances Australia by and Large is light on for water and in many places extremely HOT.

Swappable Batteries seems intuitive but I don't think it is that simple, comparison with a drill etc is not valid as batteries get swapped all the time and being expensive are often less in number that the gadgets you have. Inbuild is lighter and the sophistication of the Monitoring can be much better, Batteries can Last a very Long time these days Swapping introduces a CARE factor too. Nev

I've NEVER taken El Cheapo Holidays (or something) in Europe Jerry and the More Preparation and research the better the Experience will be for you. I try to mix with the Locals (and keep away from the tourists Hot spots) and boozy People. I don't expect thick Overcooked steaks either. I sample the Local Fare as it's done "their" way.. Europe is generally NOT CHEAP. Nor should we expect it to be. Letting them know you are not English helps too. An Australian Accent is very strong. We are pretty LAZY with our pronunciation generally.. Nev
