The collapse of the world banks

Will this make any difference to the majority of people probably not. Will they take your Mac Mansion probably. Will they be any richer for the experience probably not. Makes the small house movement look good with no debt or mortgage. The danger is they at the bottom (the rich one's) will not have control of the masses. If you can eat and sleep you will live threw it. Remember it is us the workers whom make the fuel so the rich (those at the bottom) can play.

Drainage concerns
The ground has a natural grade of 1:3 approximately and the water freely drains away, there is clay and alluvial soils which dried out over a long time due to drought and cracking occurred. The foundations are made of steel brick and packed with fibro. Concrete is used as well as wooden supports.


Renovations and maintenance

The house was renovated in period of drought with new wall cladding new bathroom.
 A new roof placed on the rear of the property(north side) by Tommy Wells the local plumber.
The house was electrically rewired with the latest in earth leakage equipment. There was a steel support placed under the floor in the kitchen in this time as well


Work done since the flood  
Cleaning of sheds and the removal of the tenants goods that were left behind when they fled the flood.
This totaled four days or Forty hours work
Grass cutting has been done to reduce the water in the ground.
Some of the carpets have been removed.
Some cleaning of the interior
Truck was used as well



In conclusion
Due to the long dry period the ground cracked and opened up. There was one crack that went down 18 feet the length of a steel pipe and this didn't touch the bottom. Two and a half tones of blue metal was poured into the crack and was not able to feel the bottom of the crack.
When the flood came the cracks closed up and things were well for twelve months and a second flood saturated the ground again.
During both floods the river changed position and removed huge amounts of vegetation.
The concrete foundation on the west side has twisted away from the house floor joists expanded and the floor mushroomed.

Scope of works
The best way to fix all the problems would be to raise the house This would remove any concerns of drainage problems and renew all the foundations This would allow the walls to settle back into there correct place. the floors would need to be straightened. New chimneys would have to be made and the house would have to be dried out and interior cladding removed and or replaced and painted. The studs would have to be steam cleaned to remove mold as after seventy two hours the water is considered to be black water.

The roof would have to be removed and sarking place all over and the roof refitted. All work would have to be done to Australian standards as stated by the NRMA's engineer.

The other option would be to renew the house.

God is spitting on my car

I just washed polished near and far
Dirt and grime gone for now

Dead man walking

 The sounds of the bell bird and the whip bird echoed threw the bush with spaces of silence.

 Serenity and the pursuit of happiness.

I am a white fella aborigine and proud of it. I was born in Holland to and Australian mother and came to Australia as a refugee from war torn Holland after the second world war. Economies were still in shambles. I came as a boat person. I am now a naturalized Australian and have papers to prove it. This was when Aboriginals born in Australia had no rights at all.
Thinking back everyone but a few had nothing but we did get as a child free flavored milk at school. The green milk tasted crap the yellow was the best. Best times were being in the bush and my playground was a rain forest. The photo below shows the bush today at the edge of the mountain.

 The below photo shows the view from the mountain today. The seats were not there when I was a child.

Times have changed and the in equalities remain the same. Some things have changed that is education in the good things and the bad. The ways of dealing with them as well,  like the pointing of the bone never done as a child and never aloud. It is extremely powerful and takes great courage to do the job as the repercussions to oneself can be devastating. Like the mind power coarse of today but they do leave out the bit about ethics and just brush over the subject. They all want to be millionaires but they loose the sight of the goal.  The pursuit of happiness as written into the American Constitution,  The right to carry arms is spoken about more these days with the collapse of  the society as a whole. To be honest the president of the united states came here and meet with the prime minister of Australia and then flew into Darwin and announced American troupes will be stationed there. To many Australians this is like an invasion of our country remembering that our prime minister stole money from health care workers union.
The bone is set to fire and the American people will be the ones whom suffer.
Does more tropes on the ground in Australia make the pursuit of happiness any closer. I don't think so.
 Australia has been always dragged into someone else's war,  Australia has never declared war on its own. I hope this makes us all think?
