Think you might be referring to a "hangi". Speaking of rugby - strange how every Australian tradie I deal with managed to miss the last installment of the Bledisloe cup :D:D:D

Personally I would finish walls and skirting before the floors have being sanded. The floor sander will sand the floors right up to the skirting but not the skirting. The edge sander may slightly mark your skirtings if you paint the skirtings first (depending on who is doing the floors) but...

http://www.gyprock.com.au/downloads/downloads/Covering-brick-wall_8e57.pdf The above info is all good. You can get away with up to 20mm irregularities in your wall before you need to go down to the rondo route. I did test the above system by trying to pull a pice of gyprock off 2 days...

Scocia and skirtings off first. Architraves off too if you have timber door jambs. If you have metal door jambs your only real option is to run the gyprock into the side of the jamb, with timber jambs you can run a timber packer between the existing jamb and the architraves when you put the...

cornice adhesive is what you need, blobs about 200 to 300mm apart vertically and horizontially the size of a 50c piece sticcking out 20mm or so from the wall. Place the gyprock onto the blobs, use a long straightedge (aluminium is good) to make sure the gyprock is sitting flat to the wall. Tap...

Thanks for all the replys. Not to worried about how fast it will go as only used as a commuter for one person during the week (25km a day in 60km/h speed zones). More interested in using it on the beach to find spots to fish and kayak along the coast. Sounds like it would handle this well. Not...

Looking for a small four wheel drive as a second car. Is to be used as a commuter for one during the week and on the beach in the weekend to cart fishing rods, kayak etc. I have heard the Jimnys are fairly robust and cheap to run? Anyone know anything about them or any other possibilities...

Hi GG, Maybe you should apply for the job!! Regards Stu

Slightly off topic, but any recommendations for a good online broker? Cheers Stu

Hi Winston, The other tests I know about are a stepping test (how many steps in 2 mins), situp test, and I imagine a stretch test like you have mentioned. The job is for an operator at a refinery so I cant imagine the tests being to stringent, however the company does seem to have a focus on...

Thanks Phil, 25 shouldnt represent to mainly problems by the time I get to the test next week. I have being spending too many hours sitting on my butt as a Sales Rep and the days of doing 50 + pressups are just a fond memory. Cheers Stu

thanks, just what I was looking for, 30 is still a way off yet :)

Hi, Anyone know what an acceptable amount of pushups in one minute is for a 38 yr old male? Going for a pre-employment physical shortly and this is one of the tests. Thanks for your help

Interesting post, we have a credit card which we pay off evey month, average spend $2000 - $3000. Being thinking about a quantas frequent flyer card for a while now, any recommendations on which card? Cheers Stu

Roof restorations must be a lot cheaper on the East coast, I couldnt get anyone here to do the job under $5000. Cheers Stu
