Thread: driveway dramas

They had to rip up a fair bit of the old concrete before they got started



There was also a section of my drive in the soi that i thought might as well get fixed while we were fuckin about



Heres the materials, 450 000 kip for a small truck of sand and about the same for the river rock


I couldnt park the car in my drive for about a week while it cured but the neighbours were away so we parked there instead


weve left a bit of room for the tree to grow and a nice little flower feature will soon be getting installed


I reckon it came up quite well, not sure why the kids are trying to shoot the dog though


This time when they quoted me on the job i got them to include getting rid of the crap when they finish, usually they leave it to you,


All that remains to be done now is get that barbecue out of the box and fire it up



Next job is a courtyard roof replacement, the guys doing that say they can start in a couple of weeks, good stuff im wanting to get it done before the wet

Nice, LBD!
Looks as if your work crew employ the eyeing it/close guess method of leveling.

Could be worse.
Lovely, anyway.

Best to ya!

^ There wasnt much in the way of technology , They done a pretty good job though,

Oh yes, I do love your Aussie BBQ. Sterling choice my friend.

No " full English breakfast " for us convicts Eh.

A few prawns, snags and assorted shit will do.

what sort of gun is it that your daughter is holding ?

^Thats the niece pointing the gun, dunno where they got it or what it is, dogs still alive though so it couldnt of been to bad,

Yes, A quality barbie is necessary in the tropics one finds, That one is the real deal from aussie, a mate of mine was entitled to bring in a sea container with all his furniture and shit , so i got him to chuck in a barbie for me, He wanted a refrigereated sea container full of pies and chico rolls but the company wouldnt play the game on that one, said he was fat enough, pity

Where's the bloody dramas?

I was hoping for an altercation with the neighbours, some stolen land, at least a scratched car?!

Don't be too hard on " The Doc " mate. You got to cut him some slack as he is a nasty Pom and is still pissed off he never got a start on the boats that bought all those other Pommy criminals too our lovely country.

The Doc's never got over that.

Drive way problems! Thought I was going to read about those U.K Gypsies who pull up in a stolen Ford Transit van loaded with tarmac,offering to do your drive. Pikies then do a shit job and then demand even more money after stuffing up the drive.

...and the monkeys were for???? Ahaaa,entertainment???? Pervert!!!!

I bet that boy monkey danced better than the dog, for a while at Least :-)

^Why would that be Dill? Dog had a hold of his nad's? WTF are you doing BLD with two monkeys? Personally I would prefer two Wombats and Terry 57 for entertainment.

whilst it may be good quality and work well, cooking on that would be the same as on any hob

I know I am English and know nothing about BBQs but I know what tastes good

and you can't beat cooking over wood embers (choice of wood up to you), or second, charcoal

you can buy wood chips and throw em on, quite nice, and the flavor is most certainly different form a hob

but yes, coals or wood embers are definitely better.

thing is i grill chicken stak or seafood at least once a week, even if it is to throw a hot dog on for the kid, the grill gets alot of play.

sometimes we have a BBQ every night in Portugal (fish, fish, fish) and use wood

brilliant

and it doesn't take much effort to get it going

^ a few oysters have the same effect on my missus
