All the 'Usual' things:confused:

Cheers fellas
Am seeing a legal eagle today.

We had thought that same way and believed that he has no hold over anything especially after 15 months however we tend to think this "legal" letter was more a fishing trip than anything serious... in that back in March he got his settlement agent to contact ours after he had come here demanding it and getting a solid wall of "GET F.....D" for his efforts and our settlement agent had told them our views... now we get a "legal" letter?... actually no threat no heavies just a few paragraphs about the eco shed being his property and the property irself being "his previous property" and this is how he intends to remove it along with "you have 10 days to respond"... OR WHAT?... damned if I know! It took 12 days to get all the paperwork from the settlement agent so that 10 days was gone right there then another week to sort through it and organize a visit to a lawyer and its well over the "10 days to repsond"... I rang his lawyers office the other day and said Im seeking legal advice and she didnt seem to have a clue what the blazes I was on about

See I think its like this... dipstick tries to come the heavy in person... it doesnt work... he tries through the settliement agent... again it doesnt work... dipstick then decides to get a lawyer and so gets the lawyer to write to us using their lawyers letterhead and that mere fact will change our view and so we will rill over and he will get it a reasonably cheep effective way to bully someone into rolling over... but that didnt work either

Im expecting him to loose the plot and get seriously phissed of when he gets our response which will be in his usual way loud swearing slamming of fist on desk yelling smashing and ranting... this hopefully will happen in front of the lawyer and said lawyer will put his hands up and say "hold it there boyo! I dont need this take it elsewhere" and that will be that

Fishing expiditition... he has this view that "I paid for it its mine so Im taking it" 15 months after selling! When we bought there was a water tank he was meant to remove but didnt came around on a Sunday morning and the first we knew he was here was when the nippers came running in yelling "DAD theres a bloke out there with a truck and tractor wrecking the tank"... yep no phone call no ask just rock up drive down the back offload the forklift and try rolling it onto the truck... when that doesnt work smash it to smitherines and shove it down the back and f... off... thats his style

Anyway thanks and will let you know how we get on should be right I reckon
Cheers

I am the previous owner of all sorts of things. Wonder if I can get them back for nix?

*L* If he wanted it that much he should have made that clear at the time of sale and come to an agreement with you at the time.

When you see the lawyer see what you can do to make a claim against him for anything at all to get the dog off your back.

Just thinking that even though he was required to remove the tank doing so without your permission to enter seems like trespass

Studley

How do you stop a man operating a forklift at top speed while smashing a fibreglass water tank?... yeah it was trespass but a tad too late to do anything about by the time we got out there other than to keep the kids well away while this frustrated phissed of arrogant dipstick did his thing

the smashed water tanks still down the back

Yeah mate thats part of what Im seein a lawyer about... Im thinkin we get the lawyer to lay it out for him and include a bill for storage! If hes willing to shell out that sorta money then fine get someone in and remove it... pay that and I can buy one twice as big!!

Lessee... 70ft long by 25ft wide by 20ft high area? mmm no bloody idea but lets work on storage shed prices around here... okay so a small storage shed (size of a one car garage) goes for around 100 - 150 per week... so not being greedy lets say we work on 2 of them at say $250 per week (and thats beein real cheep considering the size of this thing! for what 15 months? right so thats 64 weeks at 250 per = $16000!!! :eek: YES!! EAT MY SHORTS DIPSTICK!! Pay that and you can have the thing!! Only you wont be able to do it yourself dipstick your gonna have to also shell out for someone else to do it cause you aint comin back on this property EVER! :mad: ...Heck pay that and I can by 3 of the sodding things PLUS a bigger shed AND some new tools! Imagine if I based it on dividing the length x breath by the same number of storage units that would fit into its area by the week individually!! :eek:

But he wont what he will do is rant rave fume spew forth great gobs of abuse... and probably... turn up sometime with his low loader and forklift and a couple of mates and rip it down smash it to peices and drive away raisin the finger as he roars off... and if he does then he will be arrested for 1) wilful distruction of property 2) trespass 3) anything else they or I can think of... and then I will sue him to go with it... stress worry anxiety fear etc etc etc

no hes bungin it on as far as I can tell he doesnt have a gnats pubic hair to stand on

Mind you I dont think he will get far... since the last visit of his weve erected a pretty sturdy sorta fence across that particular driveway and if he belts down there the drops at the end of the raised bit (1.5mtrs) is pretty good and sudden for a semi ...As its not level by any shot of the imagination and has quite a few large rocks stumps bits of old building materials (ie: tiles timber with nails etc etc dont worry kids have been warned to stay out of that area and its roped off as well) in it and doesnt go down a nice gentle slope but rather drops on one side a tad more rapidly than the other which then drops rather suddenly itself a foot or so later... So Id expect to hear a lot of abuse BEFORE he gets to far into the yard as the truck buckles and probably tips over! ...was it designed that way? nope just how it ended up after Id moved the rubble sand and grass around that part of the yard... and since what with my work and bein crook and the worry stress and anxiety of all his hooha and life in general I havent been able to finish it yet

And the other side is blocked by my F100 two caravans and the shed... be interesting to say the least to see him trying to get down that side

Cheers

mmmm seems like weve hyjacked the thread eh?

Yeap, well sort of & you can get the whole thread closed or deleted for doing things like that.

Sorry to hear about your problems Dingo BUT.... I'm going to un-hijack the thread & post some pictures of sheds.

These are at the house in the hills.
Old shed is the one that had the tree on it, is now fixed but still in disarray inside has lots of stuff had to be moved to fix it.

New shed, still doesn't have power, used as a tractor shed & storage shed at present.
Most of the wiring is in, have a bit left to do & then the sheeting goes on & then the fitting off & then I can have power.

We also have a horse shed with an old grey mare in it & a pump shed.
I have a couple of aerial shots to show the locations.
The Old shed is next to the house.
The New shed is the green one further away from the house & the horse shed is near it under the pine trees.
Those pine trees are a real mess since Larry came through.
The pump shed is at the dam which is in the bottom left of the first aerial shot & you can just see it in the trees in the 2nd aerial shot.

I reckon that must have been a pretty tall tree you climbed to get those aerial photos. Can we see a pic of the tree?

Hi Cliff, is that an old series IIa?

Nice pictures, Cliff

Too easy.

Nail on the head.
1960 Series IIa, the book is behind the passenger's seat along with a heap of gaskets.
It has a wooden tray back & a long range fuel tank but I think that is contaminated.
I use an outboard fuel tank on the back.
Runs on 3 at present but I haven't started it for ages.

Been hunting(dreamin!) for my new shed/workshop got a few quotes for near the same size shed $7k between them!:confused:
1 was a 24/9 by 4.6m high(80x30 by 15') $21K
next was 24/10 by 4.2m high(80x32 by 13') $28k!:eek:
Both have colourbond walls, zinc roof, guttering, 3 roller doors and 1 access door.
So looks like I need to spend about $40~50k all up (crete'd, fully lined, 3ph, insulated, water, toilet).

Gotta get a 5acer block 1st tho... wont fit in me current residence and I dont think the council like it!:mad:

Hey l like him - he sounds like a real nice fella dingo . bloody meathead !
Reminds me of this moron neighbour l had . We'd just bought our first house it was only tiny and the block was nearly as small but the guy next door had 2 ac's .
We turn up all exited on moving in day and this clown has five cars parked along the side of our house - one mter away but on his side of the fence , right down the side of the house.
his block rose beside my frontyard 3mtrs because my block was a dug out stlye so the first cars back end was actually hanging over my tiny little front yard , later my new pergola's top rail line . Frickin nightmare . Blew the S't out of him day one , not smart , l'd just done or the moving myself down 2 flights of stairs at one end then down one flight of steps at the other end . Could hardly walk by the end of the day . Around the time he turns up to have another go about it ,turns out he was a prize boxer - not good !!!!!!!.
He left the cars there for 4 mths and there wasn't a thing l could do about it as long as they were one mtr from the fence.
Eventually they started disappearing one by one and at about the 6 mth mark they we're all gone . aaaahh !!! Bloody nightmare .
Cheers
