Mt Gravatt Handyman @ $20 hour Available 0419642617 Me and my mum

I have been renovating my house recently in Mt Gravatt  :)

Did have to kick out the white ants,

replace timber floor boards, destroy and replace the kitchen,

 bought and installed new benches, cupboards and a sink.

Had to remove 2 old taps and connect a mixer system on the sink and connect the 2 new sinks to the one down pipe and to the water drain.

 Went and dug in the yard, found the 3 leaking sewer/sink/bath room  pipes and sealed the drips with cement.

Climbed on the roof and fixed a leak or two with silastic, and reconnected the TV Antennae.   I build and fit my own antenneas in my Ham radio hobby:)

I can fix your computer, get you on the internet, teach you how to use the thing, it isn't that hard to learn.

I belong to an earlier age the baby boomers, as a result I can relate to the elderly and talk their language.They remember the 30s great depression when rabbit traps were all the rage. Catch a rabbit and you have a feed. You could sell the skins and they were used to make felt slouch hats for the Army. Back when eggs were cooked under an inch of sheep kidney fat, and sure were nicer.  Back when people lived on bread and fat, my grandfather loved syrup and fat mixed on his bread. Back in the days of the kerosene lantern and the dangerous  carbide light. Carbide would also clear the water in your rainwater tank. Back when men walked from town to town to collect a dole chit for 75c. worth of food, and the squatter had a free workforce. These men would cut up the woodheap or dig a rubbish pit for a feed. And then carry their swag down the road again. Myxametosos meant no more free feeds for the swagman or the poor, but back in the thirties rabbit  kept many back from deaths door.

FRIED SCONES............quick bread replacement in the 1930s

Made by Drovers on the stock routes these last 100 years or so.

 Dissolved fat (or cooking oil) Ό  inch deep (6ml) in frying pan fairly hot... not burning...Flour baking soda  cream of tartar... OR cup  selfraising flour  drop of  milk or water ...mix fairly firm  cook in the fat and turn often till cooked ....brown crisp and tasty...  

Fried scones were eaten with an  application of fat and syrup mixed together  on them .....nice...

 Banana fritters

Soft nanas ok too....For one .... 1  cup s/r flour  1 small banana 1 egg one tablespoon sugar mix till firm and add banana chunks. Cook in fat till cooked well turning often ...burnt is nice...(.these are usually soft)

 Same for corn meat fritters.... 1  cup s/r flour 1 egg add onion & tomato as well for taste.......great

 Jonny cakes were a drier mix... dip each one in flour  and drop on the wood stove or hot shovel, turn often till cooked

 Damper used sr flour milk salt .mixed till semi firm ..Scones too

 Brownie was a Damper which  had raisins or sultanas  plus tablespoon of sugar to make it sweet.
