I ...Can understand your complaints whole heartedly. I used to live in Tassie and mov d over to mainland in 2004 - oh my! The extra rules and regs - enough to drive you batty. <br />Anyway, I’m pretty sure the barter economy will come into effect, or even if you do all the cable runs etc, then get them to check it out and sign off.<br />Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05120841212705586854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-33611371465118672902017-03-30T14:04:27.979+11:002017-03-30T14:04:27.979+11:00It's good to see you posting again, I realise...It's good to see you posting again, I realised I missed your stories from the island. <br />I'm looking forward to reading about and seeing pictures of your new house as it gets built. I would also been interested to see photos of the hazmat team working the dozers as they clear the 100 foot thick layer of bed rock.

Look when it comes to electrics I CAN do it (not legally so I can't) but in practice I have the knowledge and understanding. I would not choose to. But every other thing I can do - or carry the consequences of. I always over-engineer everything. I'm an ex-fishfarmer. I had to do some very 'interesting' plumbing on an industrial scale. I do have some grasp on which direction water runs, and that it ain't all water.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12315551718688781746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-449186051417322092017-03-30T11:55:23.507+11:002017-03-30T11:55:23.507+11:00eh, good thing I didn't really tell folk how I...eh, good thing I didn't really tell folk how I feel :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12315551718688781746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-35696799781692744042017-03-30T10:21:27.188+11:002017-03-30T10:21:27.188+11:00Geez.

Here, as an owner-builder, I can do all the work I want to; in fact, the local building inspector, at last conversation, was encouraging me to do the bits I don't trust myself to do (such as natural gas lines).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14741040114864506752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301791108611372665.post-27089951099657216952017-03-30T10:01:33.429+11:002017-03-30T10:01:33.429+11:00"destroyed by specialists in haz-mat suits op..."destroyed by specialists in haz-mat suits operating robots from 10 miles off, the ground scraped to 100 feet into bedrock, and the entire mess buried in a lead casket encased in six feet of concrete in a disused salt mine." This is now my go-to phrase as an example of an amazingly articulate outburst without needing to swear. Swearing, compared to this seems somehow limp and flabby.leecetheartisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01195275307216453863noreply@blogger.com
