i discussed my plans here and got so many valueable advises, which truly helped me a lot to do most of it by myself.

i bought it as brand new from eBay. seller was in East Bentleigh (VIC). at that time seller had about 5-10 of them.

but it was from auction, so not sure if seller has more in stock.

i bought a Victa for $193 couple of months ago, with B&S 4 stroke engine. i am very happy with it. doing its job very well. have a small area, so not much fussed about spending too much on lawn...

i bought a Ryobi 30cc petrol one, and i think it does its jobs very well.

though my expectations were bit high, as i never used a blower/vac before in my whole life.

[quote=Bleedin Thumb;639307]BTW I would not be surprised if that water feature that you displayed cost the client $150- $200K. a few years back I did 2 similar ones that cost $280K each. quote]

i assumed it would be 4 hours, and now can feel my mistake. should have confirmed it with him.

and my assumption does not mean what he meant by half day :doh:

thanks for pointing this out.

another guy just quoted me $330 for half day and then $66 per hour.

this one sound better than first deal which was $280 for first 2 hours and then $80 per hour.

Thanks DavidG for offer :; but it would be too big for my place. anyway i have already moved that satellite antenna from there, and got rid of concrete underneath it.

this time decided to hire someone with dingo and all attachments to level my backyard (11m X 7m), and to remove few sleepers and their posts.

now we have opinions about it, i.e. either new zealand flax or Rhoeo.

if its Rhoeo then as advised above, no point planting in Melbourne.

so if it is New Zealand Flax (sort of dwarf) then...
