Thread: Ive found my calling

Jesus look out Cervantes I guess there s no reason to hang around Perth awaiting your return if your selling up and heading north Its a nice place but.I ve always loved Dongara. Have they bitumened the road the whole way up yet on the indian ocean rd. I hope you ve been able to find that timber i messaged you about and I still want to see your Bandsaw mill working get back to me soon i want to see my Kids sooner rather then later

That's good and bad. Can't you keep both enterprises going as I would see them as compatible? Eg. Cut the timber and then build a house for those on bush blocks.

Or are these occupations mutually exclusive?

Alot of areas over here you now have to use treated timber in construction because of the Euro wood borer

Spoken like a true CARPENTER!!!!

hmmm, timber treatment plant in the south west?????? you just created another opportunity nifty!!!

There are already two here in the SW, timber treaters in Manjimup and koppers in Picton.

Well it seems i may have sold the kilns so thats one less headache. And hows this, Ive been approached by some of the local cray fishermen to see if im interested in cutting them material to make new pots out of so it looks like Woody might be getting a sea change too And ive been offered a nice big industrial shed to work out of too, all for a bit of timber every now and then

What happend to the retirement plan that had you cleaning up vineyards in a tracked bobcat?

Cervates hey, you will get sick of the wind soon enough, sheeting roofs up there would be a real joy in the warm months

Yeh i here you Burnsy. After some research into the venture it couldhave been hit and miss. Noone down here is spending money at the moment and wineries are notoriously slow payers. So I figured if you dont feel like cutting timber anymore, go create stuff out of timber again. My great grandfather always said, If you dont love your job, you dont love life

Hi Nifty,
Heres one from my dear old DAD "A wise man may change his mind, a fool never does".

"Man cannot say, without arrogance, what he will or will not do."

Can't remember where that comes from. Certainly no relation and I've more than likely mis-quoted it too.

All the best for the future.

My great grandfather also said that every man should have a mistress and every woman a lover, just dont fall in love. Probably why he had 3 wives

I'm thinking it may have been a little easier then. Not so great a chance of being caught out by the internet, credit cards or CCTV!
