Will this ever end?

It seems ridiculous, and I know we'll laugh about this later, but how can we still have; electric windows that don't work, a fuel transfer pump with no switch, a hi-lift jack with no place to live, a missing metal rod to hold the new cargo net into place, and only 3 DAYS to have the car ready for the container?

Yesterday we woke early and decided to get straight to the shops (Bunnings/ARB -the usual). Loaded into the car with lists, wallets, phones, and a book (for me to read whilst AJ is in these shops...) - and the car not only wouldn't start, but seemed to want to melt one of the terminals on our LH 900CC battery.The look of horror in AJ's eyes was only equaled by my own terror. $140 later, the RACV bloke arrived, did some tests and came to the conclusion that we'd just had a bad connection. Thank god for that. Now, nothing seems quite as desperate, for after all, what could be worse that a car that wont start?

We finally started washing the old water containers after months of failed searching for new ones that are the same dimensions yesterday too - only to see some shiny, lovely sized ones in ARB. Expensive, but very nice and CLEAN! The problem of mounting the high-lift has almost been solved and should only cost us another $100. . .
