I did this one recently


Initially an ADF firefighter. I then gained a Bachelors of Degree in Industrial design at Curtin University. for years after that I became a landscaper and mixed design and landscaping together and became a landscape designer. I then after a lot of experience filled the roll of landscape Architect. I have been doing physical work to keep fit after a long illness. My aspirations are to work part time in Archvis.
For the last few years I have been fighting a few cancers and open heart surgery. due to this my savings are all gone. I could not even buy SU 2025, so I was working with 2017. I got a very well paying job in the bush. I saw the CEO bullying everyone. I am very sure he has a mental condition. He would on occasion make some of his female employees cry and I saw the smirk on his face when he did so. The last time he did it at a meeting he made somebody cry. I told the 2IC and the CEO that they ruled by nothing but fear and called them bullies to there face, well that surely hit a nerve and I lost my job. Anyway I left that very remote town. with little savings and using my last money to keep a roof over my learning about employment law to take action against the CEO who is very 'Lawyered up' I spent my time with no income to get my satisfaction for myself and other employees. I was broke but found a Lawyer to fight a no win no fee contract. I must have spent about 400 hours over about 2 months I was quite depressed but I had a mission.
when I was a youngster I was a specialist Firefighter/ Engineer for 8 years. We used a product Called AFFF or aqueous film forming foam every day, It had a chemical in it called PFAS (the forever chemical). We used this as a detergent in a squeezy bottle in the fire station kitchen and to wash our clothes as well. They found out about 10 years ago that the chemical (PFAS) has a very serious things to humans. It is a carcinogen and causes high blood pressure. In the past 7 years I have had 2 heart attacks one requiring open heart surgery one stroke and 3 cancers.
I started to make a claim it has taken 18 months as they are dealing with public money
Anyway here is the good news............After all that, today I got a phone call from my advocate saying that all my claims have been accepted and I will get a fortnightly payment all my doctors fees will be paid as will my Taxi fares and medicinal costs. This will include a lump some payment as well also tax free. My life has changed overnight. I can,t explained how I feel this evening. I feel like I have won the lotto after being not far from being homeless. Sorry if this is too off subject but I had to share some good news

Had a medical procedure so have not used sketchup for a while so I got back on the horse today. Was a bit rusty. I did this referencing an image from jamzVIEW But put my own take on it. Building model was from 3D warehouse by Desired Space that have high quality models and are recommended. Sketchuo plus TM

Hi Guys, I decided to do the door, it is hellish I did the stained glass in Autocad by Autode$ it too many hoursand many more hours just to kix the planars.. If anyone has a godd sandstone texture you could pass on it would be appreciated. I am doing the sandstone as geometry block by block

Hi Guys, I have learnt some things about PFAS, get your none stick frypans and throw them in the bin!
If you get to WA Australia you will get the royal treatment
@Rich-O-Brien Thanks Rich, I am hoping that I can do some modelling for the Aviation museum. They even have a genuine spitfire. If memory serve me well you were an Aviation Engineer
Good for you @l-i-am ! Taking care of our veterans should be a no-brainer.
Thanks so much mate

I am a ex firefighter and have had some issues with a chemical called PFAS which has amongst other things has cause 3 cancers 1 stroke and 2 x heart attacks which means I could not work for about 5 years which decimated my saving, and is one reason I have not kept up with SU and TM.
Things have turned around in a big way I just had a very large payout from the Government. The housing situation is out of control in this Country and out of reach for many even trying to get a place it is just unaffordable. Being a veteran I have just secured an Apartment in South Perth in a leafy street close to the Swan river.
It is a very high end suburb in one of the most beautiful cities on the planet. I will be paying about $280Australian dollars for an apartment worth 1 million dollars and the rent also includes utilities and is appointed with full furnishings. I am pinching myself ATM. It is a 2 bedroom apartment so I can set up am office in one of the rooms as an office to start with SU and TM. I am now retired will be volunteering for work at the Aviation Museum

I cannot believe my luck
Just had a look and found is is under the Epic Games umbrella

For your service and 'injuries' received, you are more than due and hopefully that settlement will keep you well/safe.
That extended holiday, have a blast and make some good memories.
Yes thanks mate whilst in Thailand it will be a test to see if i will retire there and will make a trip to da nang in Vietnam to see if that might work.
