Thats pretty amazing @Glisten removing tree stump yourself. I've had a few big trees felled on my property the past few years by professional aborists with the added option of having stump removal. I wouldn't know where to start. Good on you!

Good Morning, the sun is shining. Hope it is not too hot where you are on the planet @Former-Member @TAB and all reading along ....
@EternalFlower re supt wkrs. It is good you have some company and support. Everyone is different and it can be surprising who can give the most. Keep at it.
@saturnzoon Yes the turnover is extremely high. I had someone out here who was comparing and telling me about easier jobs and being picky and choosy. Asking if he can work for an hour and charge me for 3 !?! Hmmm I need to be more assertive with them all. They are in it for the money.
@Glisten That man was pretty immature and addicted to being centre of attention with a big noisy personality. He was so busy charming everyone everywhere he would not have noticed if I walked into a bus. I liked him in small doses. I found it difficult being with him with chronic pain. He had a tendency to be oppositional and was uneducated. It was a poor match for him to be around my son and he proved it the last time I saw him by his competitiveness bordering on abusive behaviour around him. My son is used to educated people in the family and it probably triggered this guys defences. I never thought it would go anywhere serious.

Thats warm days ahead @TAB, you got your nice cool house to keep temps under control though with aircon blinds and insulation. Thank goodness you are no longer in that caravan park with your health issues now. Thats all I can say. I hope you get plenty of rest today. Listen to your body.

I know I imagine they would all be booked out and less affordable caravan rental. The manager would be jacking up prices like most property landlords. People around here can't pay their mortgages. Houses everywhere going up for sale. I live in a poor suburb and the energy in the air is thickening. I got that same feeling when I drove through Broadmeadows once which is one of the worst suburbs in Melbourne @TAB

I think the caravan park I was at is leased from Council. its privately run, but some things just scream government. power was very cheap there and ok rent was dear for ensuite which I had , they put rent up after 6mths but was only like 3% private people dont do things like that. pretty sure its on govt/council land and subject to their rules @Former-Member
