Locked and Lifted is an off shoot of 4WD Action. You wouldn't expect anything else would you. If it's not a Landpatrol they wouldn't know.
Suppose thats why us Jeepers band together.

Things are on the up on the house front. I have a plumber coming in two weeks to fit all the pipe work in my bathroom and laundry. What's more I have managed to save $850 of the $1500 needed. It's been a tight two weeks and will be another tight two weeks, I mean really tight..... I have been collecting ali cans and other scrap as a way of just pulling every buck I can before the plumber gets here. Tonight I decided to head up the back into the bush with my friends dog and my dog loaded with a bag to collect cans as people dump shit all the time around here in the bush... Anyway I went to a spot where I had a feeling there was gonna be a few cans. Well I had to crush them and I still filled a Coles bag. I'm heading up there tomorrow to get another bag full and I still won't get them all. Not much in it but I already have 4 garbage bags of crushed cans an AGM battery and a fair bit of copper wire. Pulling out everything I can to try and have enough for the plumber Thursday week. I have been put onto a site where people pay others to help with things online, like resumes. I am pretty good at doing resumes and apparently people will pay 50-60 bucks for one. Heck for 50 bucks I will also do their covering letter. I have a bloke who is going to buy the remaining XJ panels for $270 bucks. So with that I am gonna be really close to having what I need for the plumber.

I also have a friend who is a qualified builder who has said he will hang all my sheets of gyprock and fibro, including the ceilings and let me pay him next year if I am stuck. Starting to look I might just pull this off. Even if I can't get any super. I have another friend who is gonna look after me with the tilling. And I'm gonna look after him with common failure XJ parts that I haven't sold yet and now have decided not too.

About an hour ago I found a 50 in the hidden mug I normally keep the cash in for when I have a tradie onsite. Thought I took it all to Town today and banked it on the personal loan ready to redraw it in 10days time.... Now I have $900 lol.

Regards A

Hey Ant why don't you do your own tiling and hang your own gyprock even my mum can lay tiles and all you need is a mate to help to hang gyprock get someone to set it for you if you don't feel confident setting it . you will save a fair bit of coin on labour .

Easy wall tiles maybe, but it took me ten years to hone my tiling skills. Falls to floor wastes? Tap holes? If it looks crap, AG has to live with it for a long time.
Always wanted to go to Tasmania.

What's hard about doing a screed with a fall ? yes cutting neat holes in tiles for taps can be very difficult .mark them out and get them cut no big expense there .
