We live on acreage in Brisbane and need quite a lot of outside work done. Things like brushcutting, weed spraying, gardening, scrub clearing etc We would supply tools and materials etc so the job would suit an unemployed person or a student. What if they are hurt in some way while doing the work? Do we need to take out insurance for them? If so, what type of insurance is it and who should we get it from? I’m pretty sure that normal workers compensation insurance doesn’t apply to workers who are employed by householders.

How do we get insurance companies to reduce medical insurance premiums to employers?
Friday, November 6th, 2009Begi asked:
Let’s face it, here in the U.S. the medical insurance premiums for group health coverage is rising faster than inflation. As a result, a lot of companies are either reducing the levels of coverage in order to offset the cost of insurance, increasing the deductible, and or increasing the cost to the employees for the insurance premiums.

The problem is that insurance companies have no incentive to reduce insurance premiums. They continue to get record profits and this issue is out of control.
How do we get the insurance companies to decrease insurance premiums to the rate of inflation, or better yet, start reducing the cost of premiums for a change?

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009How do dumpster divers know if a dumpster is a good one?
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009MinniganGirl asked:
I want to know how you tell if a dumpster is sure to deliver treasures? Full, empty, things next to it, a feeling, etc? For example: My Dad used to go to car washes. He said that people throw a lot away there. And sometimes people go to dumpsters other than their home to dump stuff. What are your feelings or clues?

Sunday, October 18th, 2009Does anyone make an electric pole sander to sand wood walls not drywall?
Saturday, October 10th, 2009Ryan K asked:
I purchased a $500 Porter-Cable sander but the $10 sanding disks don’t take away enough material and they fall apart really quickly. I am looking to sand a lot of area and don’t want to be up on a ladder. I am sure supprised that I cannot seem to find a disk sander on a pole. Any help would be appreciated.

How do I go about covering a plaster wall with drywall?
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009HoneyB asked:
I took some wainscotting off of the wall and rather than scrape away the adhesive (there is a lot!), I’d like to put a 1/4 inch sheet of drywall over it. I would like to do the work myself, but I’ve never done it before. Could someone please tell me what materials I will need for this task, and the best way to go about it? Thanks.
