I'm thinking of buying land and building a house out of shipping containers.

There is a Grand Design episode on one that a builder did in Melbourne. Have you seen it?

Laugh it up buddy. Just like you did 18 months ago. Proven wrong again. No I wouldn't be buying anything now but when we spoke about it in 2013 it was a great time and I was proven correct. How did your shares go?

How come you're back? Have you missed us?

And I'm still laughing. If you don't have the balls to sell you've gained nothing. Equity? Maybe you can use it to borrow a bit more - it's a good time to buy shares. Maybe in 18 months you'll have some more good luck to brag about. Or maybe whoever buys your flat will be doing the bragging.

and maybe if a grandmother had a c**k should would be a grandfather. Seriously mate where do you get the energy to keep playing devils advocate? Anyway, you didn't answer my question, why did you come back? I thought you were gone for good. I don't mind that you are back to be honest, you just need to wear a muzzle sometimes.

I did enjoy your girly spit. You Prima Donna.:lol:

No but it has been mentioned to me a bit over the last couple of days.

I'm still toying with the idea, to be honest. The research I've done makes it seem doable and I like the idea of easy expansion (just add more containers!) but we'll just have to wait and see whether I've got the balls to do it.

Royal Wolf are the go-to company for shit like this HJ.

Rupert is helping his mate Tony out again today.

That toxic tax is back on the agenda. Lucky Tony ditched it and saved you all $550 not.

There's an episode on the ABC next Sunday night at 7.30 pm about the same thing. It's the Kevin McCloud version though.

Yep, the house looked brillant. And pretty big too.

A friend of mine owns a barra fishing lodge in NT. Accommodation are luxury fitted out containers with ensuites etc. Makes sense cos they can lock them up during the wet season and they are cyclone proof.

Just paid a water bill for our property in the Snowy Mountains.
Total water bill.....$425.31.
Total water usage ......$5.31

That's a pretty hefty abstraction charge. Even here it is less than $300.

$300 Sewer Access. $120 Water Access.

Water comes from the lake 50 metres away. Town Sewer.
Go figure.

Can you mountain bike down from Kosciusko summit ? If so can some merkin transport your bike to the top or do you have to ride/carry it ?

You have to ride/carry it. It's a pretty easy trail from the top of Thredbo Top Station Chairlift tbh, though I wouldn't recommend it at this time of year.
It's only about the last km that gets a bit steep. There's a couple of short steep sections in between, but the track is excellent, and very crowded in Summer.
Alternatively, you can ride from Charlotte Pass, although it's a lot longer., but still reasonably easy.

Thanks. I might do that in the summer. When I was last in Bali we rode from the top of an active (yes really has active lava fields) volcano called Mt Batur all the way down to Ubud on jungle trails and through rice paddies. Mostly down hill which is good for kids and old Dads.

Yeh mate, it's a beautiful part of the world in summer. Far more to do down there then than in winter.
We've had a place there for over 20 years, and still, we do and see things each summer that we haven't done or seen before.
Hiking, both easy and hard, is fantastic, and we also spend a lot of our time just swimming in the lake. The water is beautifully comfortable in January.
In fact, one summer we spent a week there, and a week in Port Macquarie, and the water was far warmer in Lake Jindabyne than at Port. No kidding. Not many people know that, so keep it to yourself.

I stay at a friend's place in Kalkite. Like it in both Winter and Summer. Going there in 3 weeks. Isn't there a city under Lake Jindabyne?

Well, a village. A bit old Jindabyne. There's also one at Adaminaby.
