what's more income got to do with rent?
regardless of your salary you still pay the same rent - it's ultimately your choice where you live. You don't pay rent in the mines, you live in a camp provided by the client. because it's cheaper for them to provide it then for you to find accommodation and +10%
nooooooooooo way josé
someone's unaware
It depends on the arrangement you have, but the typical fifo worker will get accomodation, flights and food paid. Accommodation up there is ridiculous - think $4000/week in rent for the a sh*thole house cos fo the demand. Big guys like rio and BHP are paying that right now..
anywya i'm also looking at a decent jack, seems like those arcan ones are the way to go? What else to look for in a jack?
Was planning to buy the same one from recpo (pro-lift)
It seems like the Arcan has downsides too. It appears that the Arcan has small teeth on it and may slip away.
Here is a review:

I'm not sure which to go for.
Arcan: About $90 more expensive and have small teeth
Pro-Lift: No pads, but the teeth looks bigger
The ek1 front jack point is flat and fear it might slip!
Arcan, trust me. You wont regret it
thats different to the arcan one ive linked.
And small teeth on what? the handle to release the lift?
Mine hasnt slipped yet, and doesnt look like it will, seems fine to me
Just going off the review on youtube. Yeah it is a different model though, the 3.5T version I think.
Teeth on the jacking point where it lifts the car up (video shows it) not the handle-
But yeah, leaning towards buying the arcan jack soon..
had mine for awhile. no slips at all. so you wont have to worry about that at all.
Honda - You're better off asking your question in here. Not too sure why you PM'ed me asking about your Arcan jack haha.
