Moving huts are better than fixed huts? Gypsy wagon

 My son bought me some proper insulation and I have installed it.

 The finished rear of the wagon
The mind wanders and the thoughts of being on the road conger up where to stay. On the last trip I was fixated in looking for safe spots on the road to stay for various lengths of time. The thought of a prefab picket fence with gate to make the place look like it is there to stay and has been there for some time gives the impression of ownership. Then wait and see how long it takes for the owners or the authorities take to make you move on. Bluff is the game to play. Has anyone else done this with any success? Maybe I have the wrong type of hut as people are weary of gypsies.

Corrupt prime minister

It was stated that the prime minister is corrupt in parliament today and as a voter I need to know if this is true. A royal commission needs to be done to find the truth. I personally know how the union system works here in Australia with shop stewards getting large payouts from union funds.

Dusty

I called my remote vacuum dusty and he does a great job.
I was then taken back in my tracks when a spider who roams around at night in my house. I have now called him Dusty for obvious reasons.

 I painted the back today the paint didn't have much body this is with three coats.

 This is for traveling with and will be for carrying bee hives from site to site.

Run out of paint will have to get more. The window is a plate that came down the Murrumbidgee river in the March floods it was still in its box with polystyrene packaging.
The inside will be started in the next few days door lock is to be installed.

gypsy wagon

The door is on and some decorations from me old mate Les Warner 91 young and going strong and chasing the ladies. He came up with the door knocker and the other bits from his collection. The stove is there to be placed into the wagon. If I were to go the horse way it can be lifted and put on a dray. Might even make a four wheel wagon to pull behind a tractor.

Riddle

There was a prominent Australian politician found dead on a secluded beach. There was no other foot prints on the beach. The politician had just come from a doctors appointment and was given a clear bill of health. There she was not a mark on her body, dead! There was signs of a struggle.
Who killed her and how?
Her beach towel was laying nearby with no sand on it.

This is a new weapon that to this point has not been used it will be used against the leaders of the country or leaders of commerce  and bankers . What is it? Its a drone with cyanide as the killing tool. These drones can be carried on helium balloons over massive distances and released and sent to the target using GPS guidance. Yes small electric drone hovering craft with real time visual control via radio links or phone links. 

Going poor

I have had to rationalize my life since the flood in Gundagai and half my wealth and income gone. There is the strong probability that the insurance company will refuse insurance to me and place me on a list. The cost of this would be immense and probably send me to the wall. I am in the process of changing the way I am to do things and the direction in the way I am to go.
This is a great place of change in my life and one to look forward too.
Gone will be the making of things because I could. From now on it will be based on needs not wants and a simpler life will be had.

Gypsy wagon Shepherd hut shanty boat?

This is a cross between a gypsy wagon and a shepherds hut.As the build progresses it changes direction and the mind wanders. As the wagon can be separated from the trailer it could be easily placed on a couple of pontoons and become a shanty boat with ease. As stated I picked up a bee swarm and have gone into bees.  I think I will paint it bright yellow with bees drawn on the sides in black and white. The mind is having fun with this one.

gypsy wagon

 Led lights have been installed along with the number plate. The trailer is registered as a bulk carry trailer and the box is the load.part of the floor has been laid, it is second hand flooring Australian hardwood.

 Vapor barrier installed

  Expanding foam seals the gaps.

More of the vapor barrier.

Warning! Do this at your own peril.

Cleaning small engine parts and gear box parts Get an old dishwasher and place it in the corner of the yard away from flammable materials, disconnect the pump out pump, and block up the hoses . Load the machine and poor in diesel and water and set the machine going. Use the low heat setting until you get game to use the high heat setting. I used old petrol thinners and any thing I could use that was cheap. I used this for many years with out any dramas. In the end it was high heat with steam emitting from the machine. The parts came out clean as a whistle but you have to spray machine surfaces with rust retardant as the parts would rust within hours,

It took some time to cut the timber to suit the iron.

Thoughts and quotes

.....Who ever could make two ears of corn or two blades of grass grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before,would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together. Whom said this?
I would like to make a quotation of my own "Any man who plants more than one plant in his life time does more for society than all the politicians of the world"

gypsy type wagon 3

 This shows the end wall being screwed and glued into position. These are tongue and grove cypress pine flooring from an old house.

 The wall has been trimmed to shape.

 The final shaping has been done to this wall

 The stove in its relative position in the wagon.

These are recycled hardwood tongue and grove floor boards from a old dismantled house.

gypsy type wagon 2

 The main frame is from 20mm square tube and is mig welded the trailer is what is termed as a bulk carry trailer and the tube is just the load. It is cheaper to register than a caravan by 200 dollars a year.

The boys a Bomaderry engineering did a great job straight and true. The type of wagon is called a bow top wagon. As I said before I am not a gypsy so it is not a gypsy wagon unless I sell it to a gypsy.

Equal rights for women and prime ministers?

Equal pay equal work equal abuse! I am a bloke and have been called a sheila whore and a lot of other things and have had to take the abuse. Now parliamentarians are doing the same its about time the law is changed so people can call me a phucken whore or worse. The Australian prime minister Julia Gillard was called a piece of work and wanted an apology. Wake up woman I have been called the same and I don't expect an apology. I have had young women take away my credentials and also my ability to work, You wanted equal rights,      then you must expect the same filth thrown at you the same as men get.
Men don't cry..... equal rights now say....... now women don't cry. Get over it or admit that women will never be an equal to men and do away with equal rights altogether for all Australians.
I respect a person if they show respect, men or women.

Side tracked

Traveling on the road today in search of goodies I physically ran threw a swarm of bees on the highway. Just before the incident there was these black objects coming my way. Then splat splatter splat over fifty bees hit the windscreen of the van. The week before I captured a swarm of bees and coerced them into a hive. I physically pulled the branch they were on sharply and they all fell to the ground and walked up a prelaid runway straight into a hive that I prepared for them. I am now the owner of bees! They are interesting to watch and study. They are good security at the back fence..

gypsy type wagon1

All good wagons that are lived in need a stove for cooking and I have experimented with various degrees of failure;)  I have finally come up with a beauty I called the Gundy stove. Simple to make 120mm x 800mm  the exhaust is 50mm So you can work it out from there. This is the start of a series on making a gypsy type wagon. Not being a gypsy I cannot call it a gypsy wagon.

caravan

I need a caravan so I have started to make one. End walls are up and pictures will follow with sketches used to make it. More will follow.

smiling slightly

Tears of joy awaken me
laughter tears will never be
smiling in the bright of day
smiling because I had my say

spoken never to any one
cold it is in the sun
giggle now and giggle then
sight of sound with out zen

turn me over and laughter be
sounds erupting from the sea
softness of a cloud filled night
laughter be laughter light

hush my soul

deepest dark of deepest light
spoken in the cold of night
little said but never seen
come on in and bust my spleen

ever seen but never said
country mean and never blead
tormented mind for what I've seen
never will and never been

Shaken soul tears of light
never spoken in the sight
broken soil drowned in blood
a life has turned into mud

Jingle drugs

Jingle drugs jingle drugs poke them down my throat
Overkill psychotic quack I can float by boat
popping pills popping pills Dashing threw my life
come on down come on down come and take my bloody wife

Kick me in the guts while I'm bloody down
drug me up piss on me while you bloody can
O'shake my hand and charge me some
steal my stinken house

Feed me fatty foods take away my life
make me sleep for hours on end
Til I don't know who I am
Then do it all again up my phucken dose

Charge me more take away my will
Then order me to court force your drugs on me
My mind is yours for good do your will me
Pay your bill terror in my mind

Corrugated Iron

I have been investigating a project and wanted flat iron sheets an thought the feed stock for corrugated Iron sheets would be good so I inquired about the price. The corrugated iron was about 12.00 dollars a meter and the feed stock is 36 dollars a meter, Go figure that one?

words

Deepest light in a dark filled night
For all my love to see
Shinning from non lit pane
There is a window dark

Threw the night by candle light
Her love doth shine on me
wind it growls to light the way
coldness draws me threw the door

shinning there in the dark
glimmers never seen by me
to wake my soul from sleep
this night was ever bold.

volunteering

Volunteering  Yes  I tried this yesterday with a result I did not expect. Last week I went along to a community group to volunteer, I was new so things went well. I turned up yesterday and was again welcomed by the troupes and joined in again. All was going well til the boss of the group (head volunteer) arrived and I was promptly asked to leave I didn't have the permission of a paid worker to be there and a police report as to my honesty.  I was not given a chance to participate and was ridiculed in front of people I had just meet. The organization was dealing with people whom have psychotic illness, seams to me that we all have problems of one kind or another. I will again go back to my own thoughts and peace in my own house. Loneliness can some times leave one vulnerable.

Coal seam fracking

What you are not told by the big companies is that after fracking the coal seams become sterile unable to be mined. Yes the rock strata is broken and the mining of the coal is impossible because the roof can not be held up because of the fracking. I personally would not like to mine coal after fracking. It would like digging under a pile of gravel be it big pieces of gravel. Then there is the chemical poisoning that one would have to deal with in the air system. Radon is given off during mining but add to that all the other chemicals forced into the coal seam.

 For the ladies its about sadness and despair.

Polly styrene and fibre glass and air expansion

I have just read where the fiberglass will separate in a hull made with epoxy and Styrofoam construction.If left in the sun this problem will occur. As I haven't started my build so this problem will have to be investigated and a solution found. Preliminary thoughts would be holes drilled threw to styrene and some sort of relief valve made. Polystyrene will absorb water over time to some extent and there in lies the problem.
This decontamination could adversely affect the overall strength of the end product.
Any thoughts would be most welcome. Cheers Iggle

Class action against insurance companies in flood cases

If you have had insurance refusal or claim devalued then join the class action. Sign up here send your details to comments and they will not be published. If there is enough numbers then a meeting will be held.

Professionals ?

After getting the quotes from the insurance company there is errors in simple addition.
If quotes have these simple errors how can the rest of the quote be accurate? I am but a simple man with a simple education in engineering. Could you imagine me making a small mistake in building a bridge or a oil rig being as much as 10% errors against the the safety of the job.
How can a company a large company work with these errors and have credibility in the market place.
We are looking at the "y disasters" from the "y" generation.

Australian government rewards bad behavior.

The government stops money from parents for a child not attending school. Traditional people as they like to be called get extra money to send children to school. The children are then forced to attend. The children have worked the system for years have worked out if they get suspended from school there parents get the money and everything is all right at home. Suspension is paid for yes bad behavior is paid for. It is about time that payments are made for by not only attendance but also knowledge and the teachers are also paid for not only attendance but also knowledge imparted on the child.
We would then have educated delinquents roaming the streets. Thank god we have computers.

Alas "Old fashioned shack Gundagai"

I lived in "the old fashioned shack" in Gundagai. It must be the original as my son went to Canada and posted mail to "Old fashioned shack Gundagai" and I got it. The postman knows when others don't. In March 2012 the house went under water in the floods and severe damage was done to the additions of the structure. There is a small amount of work to be done to the original structure. Where do I begin? The insurance company is leaving me high and dry with an offer of 8,000 it was insured for 145,000. It would be a shame to destroy the place as I lived here for many years and basically the original structure is intact but small.  Interior walls are made from the catholic church bits when renovations were done there some years back.  It even has bullet holes in the windows from a landlord going mad at the tenants. The old newspapers under the carpets still intact from 1949 telling of the war crimes and the hunting down of the Japanese war criminals. Retribution was swift with hangings the favored as they the criminals lost face before death with the shame on the families. If only those walls could talk. How does one repair a house with no money!

Insurance claims and forced to break the law.

There is a tactic that the insurance industries use against policy holders.
During flooding my house went under and there was serious damage to the house. The insurance company secured the services of a contractor to quote on the damage with the brief of make it small. Then they stick with this and will not move. They then say to the contractor that they do not need there services any more. Then they settle with you for this sum of money. You then try to engage the services of this company and surprise surprise they can not do the work as they have been terminated by the insurance company. They the insurance company  lie to you by omission. You are left with the real bill. The difference in my case is $8152.05 and the real price being $156,000. They then say they have cash settled with you. In Australia in NSW it is illegal to do work in excess of $5000 with out the required qualifications.
You are forced to break the law by doing the work yourself. I am qualified and I caught them out and they are sticking to there guns. I will in time name the company but at this stage as the issue is ongoing I will wait. I dare say all the companies use these tactics in one form or another.
Please remember that flood damage takes some time to show itself.
If you are in this same predicament then send a comment and you name will not be published,maybe a class action can be made. Cheers professor Iggle

The Australian governments double meaning

The target species is wild dog and fox the non target species is dogs and cats.  Government body speaking in tongues in a sign.

Good on you  National Sparks and Wildfire. For those who do not know National Parks and Wildlife became National Sparks and Wildfire after the Canberra fires.
We pay people to do this type of sign shame on us and our school system.
Whats the difference between dogs and WILD DOG? I know one is pissed off!

Stewart's bevel or splade piling a new invention

Piles are drilled vertically into the ground and the weight sits on these piles and the building has sure footings and will not move. surface tension or friction hold the piles from moving plus the sub ground hardness..
Bevel or splade piling is sinking the holes or piles at a thirty degree angle or more from the vertical going away from the center of the building. These piles do not need to be as deep as they support the building on the sides of the piles and also the ends,  Much the same way as snow shoes support a man in snow vertical piles would be like walking with out the snow shoes and one would sink to the hard ground beneath. If one were to remove a model of the piles vertically then twice the amount of soil would have to be removed with twice the effort.. These are great for flood prone areas for housing and for clay and reactive soils.
Houses that weight in at less than say fifty tons the splade piles would have only be about 2 meters long and not going to bedrock and have a diameter of say 300mm. using the same number as normal piles. The savings in concrete time and labor would be substantial. In high loading areas then bedrock anchors would also have to be used as is already done.Reprinted from http://shantyhut.blogspot.com.au/

This was pretty cool.

specialists

To whom it may concern,

In Australia a psychiatrist only prescribes drugs as shock therapy .It is rarely employed effective in application.

As an Australian I appreciate that specialist surgeons are entitled to more of the public purse because they perform delicate operations with many years of training but I think it worthwhile to question the direction of public money towards psychiatrists. Psychiatrists do several more years training after failing as doctors at university.

There is no saying that mental health is not an issue that needs attention but a centrelink recipient should not be paid the same as a public servant.

Likewise a psychiatrist is not on the same level as a Surgeon and should not be paid as such.

Why are they getting paid as specialists when they only perform the role of a GP?

Installing new programs

Before you install or download programs check that there is no little box with a tick in it that you did not put there. This is the fine print and tactics that insurance companies use to not pay claims on a smaller scale. This might save you heaps of wasted time..

Tiny houses

I am all for tiny houses and the laws that stop one building one are ludicrous. When one is jailed for disobeying the law then being locked up in a smaller jail cell than the tiny house with out a safe exit seems to be contradictory. Yes all commonsense is gone and is lacking in today's society. We the little people suffer to prop up bankrupt countries and companies all for the rich to play and live in Mcmansions with there exorbitant heating bills. With out war mongering and invading of poor countries whom cannot defend themselves then life could be simple and good. Imagine all the fuel used in any war used to heat homes life would be good. Every 25 years there is a war and the children are used as gun fodder. Just look back in time the trends are there. Stop producing children and use less and global warming and climate will be words from the past. The new tax is carbon tax and is currently set at about $30 per ton. Fools the real price of carbon is $85 per ton plus just buy a trailer load of timber or fire wood. Carbon is in the same quantities as they were when Jesus was a boy. Remember carbon is an element and you theoretically can not make an element.
This brings me to the photo below which is on the Putty road in N.S.W. Australia.
