Australian Currency
4 04 2008
You have to love a country that trades in liquid as much as it does in hard currency.
I did a job this week where I had some turf laid for a customer, but pulled up 17 square meters short… bugger… I obviously stuffed up the measuring.
It was going to be a messy and annoying exercise heading out to the turf farm today to get a small amount of lawn and then trying to get someone to compact it for me.
But the local developers just happened to be doing a huge job on the block next door and had 18 square meters of left overs – and a plate compactor to wack it with.
The cost to get hold of their left overs and wacker?… One carton. Deal!…brotherhood of blood dvd
So d’ya reckon those bloke over-order on lawn every friday just so they can get a free carton?
No wonder Satterley charge 300k per block!
Hamo – I’m thinking, what was the total area of the job? 17 square meters sounds a quite a lot, but then I guess if you are laying a footy field size area, then that’s only a little out, like the centre square.
Big job!
But I didn’t originally want the turf part of it and realised I was punting a bit… GUess I lost
Another reason Australia is such a great country. A carton of Crownies can pretty much buy you anything. Especially from a tradesman.
a great example of christian reciprocity if ever i’ve seen one!
i’m new here, and i must say i’m enjoying my visit. i came via the open anabaptism article. good stuff, thanks for thinking and living it out.
