This can be like JAWS, do not underestimate the RAT clan. Where there is one there is many, you need to catch three to four quickly to mitigate your problem.

The strong rat trap out of paw reach is by far the best approach with dogs around.

However, you may find the trap disappears so attach them to something solid with strong breaking strain fishing line.
Use the dogs hard bits as bait, again attach it with fishing line to the trap and change it every day. (using gloves if you can).

Also look for where they are coming in and block it, although that can take years.

If a DIY using existing plumbing and depending on the price of materials you could probably do it for under 2k, using tradies you would be looking upward of 5k

Mine cost around $1100- new bath, vanity cupboard, basin, shower head (not seperate) into bath, taps and all tiles


Did you mean $11,000 or $1,100? We are costing a full guts out ( new floor, ceiling, walls ) bathroom reno and we are at about $12,000.


I did a DIY bathroom about 4 years ago, knocked out a wall, ripped up the floor put in a new one, lowered the ceilings, changed the layout completely, new walls etc, and I got away with that for just over $10k which included a spa bath for $2k. I had a plumber mate help me, but I dug all the channels in the floor and walls for him so all he had to do was connect for me which kept costs down. Did the tiling myself after watching a few youtube vids and a bit of reading, but it did take me about a week to get all the tiling done. Room size after wall had been knocked out was 2.6m x 3.8m.

Im very unhandy and dont have any tradie mates so got the works done on our two bathrooms which all up is actually 4 rooms (2 toilets, 2 vanitys, 2 basins, 2 showers and 1 bath) and I think that set us back 16k. That included pulling the walls and floors out and starting from scratch as we have some leaks in the floors.

It's not that I don't believe LMA, but I renovated a bathroom at our last house which was very small ( 2.2 x 2.4 ) and that set us back a bit over $5k on a budget. New floor and ceiling included.

This time around the room is much larger ( 3.2 x 4.2 ) and, although going for a high quality finish with new floor, walls, bath, double vanity, shower etc. and seeing Mrs.Boon has a bigger budget this time around we are at about $12k.

$12k sounds like a pretty reasonable price to me.

I second that.

Fifty Shades of Gray is very a graphic book, I've read some of the scenes in it and I couldn't believe what I was reading, they were amazing. It's been very, very popular book. There was an article in todays paper about it and in the Sunday Mail about a month ago now.

why city drivers insist on doing things like changing lanes between two cars where there is barely a gap, pulling into traffic off side roads right in front of on-coming traffic, or speed up in one lane to pass then immediately cross in front of you and into the next lane to make a turn, all the while if they opened their eyes and brains they'd see the road is clear behind those immediate cars.

One of the things I learned from my ten years living in Melbourne is that there is overall more aggression in Adelaide's traffic.
What FH describes does happen but so does the converse - if there is a sufficient gap as you enter a free way or attempt to change lanes and you indicate well ahead drivers behind then tend to speed up to close the gap. So you are forced to hold off indicating till you start the move.

In Melbourne when you indicate other drivers tend to ease back a touch and let you do the manoeuvre.
There are two factors:
1. No one would get where they are going in Melbourne's traffic without that courtesy.
2. The car with its nose even slightly in front has the right of way there and the police ping you if you accelerate instead of easing back

Well, I never. Grimace used to be the bad guy, taking food and shakes from Ronald in McDonaldland. He formerly had two arms and was evil, he came back late 70's with two arms and a nice guy.

Agree Psyber, and this leads to uncertainty for the driver trying to get into the lane.
Also where two roads merge into one without lines, and you let one car in, but someone races through on your left to get a whole ONE CAR further on.
Or where it is so obvious roadworks ahead require lanes merging but people speed right up to the front and then expect to be let in.
I always let one car in if they are level with me in both these instances, but the these other cars can get f**ked :evil: Perhaps I should have put this in the sh!ts thread.
