Hey Wylie

That concept of insurance must be an oldies thing [ohno] as my father in law thinks the same way. I also tried to get him to understand thats not how it works. Still he has his $300k house insured fro $40k.[ohno]

Hi Kermit

I would go for the 50sqm, the other is too small.

The problem with finance for properties under 50sqm kicks in when you need to borrow more that the 80%, it has to do with the insurance.

If you need to borrow more than the 80%, B4 you sign anything check with your bank / broker etc whether the insurance will knock it back because of the size. Some will, some won’t.

Hi all

My 2c worth, my hubby’s X has a business helping people with their business plans. She has no training (not even a 6 weeks TAFE course) and 2 failed businesses under her belt!!!! Beats me what GOOD advise she can give?

So, I suggest if you are looking for a FP that you make sure they are registered and have the relevant schooling. I have worked with many Accountants some are really good, some are good, some are average, some are bad.

go armed with a little info and test them. Also, you could check whether they only deal with a certain range of products or if they look else where, outside the box etc.

Hi all

I am In Bullcreek, WA

The one I went to yesturday is called Tropical Twist.

It has a large play area and a cafe, The play area has equipment similiar to Macdonalds, but a lot more. ball pits to play in, slides, lots of stuff to climb / slide / run etc. and a seperate toddler area.

The cafe has tables and chairs and is seperated from the play area by a glass wall so mum etc can chat / coffee / cake and still keep an eye on the kids.

It has party rooms and they do packages, which include, room hire/ food / lollie bags / bithday cake / invitations. They include helpers and the helpers arrange games etc. parties are usually 2 hours.

They have just opened the cafe as a restuarant at night, they have nights that are table service and nights that are buffet, and the kids can play. This one you can go any time regardless of childs age

It is 10min drive from me.
Another one called Jungle Gym also 10min from me, is set up more along the lines of a gym. The whole floor is gym mats and they have trampolines, balance beams, big foam pits etc.

This one runs session based on age, so really little ones are not competing with the older ones. and they do a 2-3 hr session onfriday nights for kids 5 or 6 to 12yrs, were you can leave them and go for dinner etc.

there are others a little further away, bigger and small. I have been to all of them as everyone uses them for parties now, hardly every go to a kids party at some ones house now. and they are packed during school holidays.

they all have different themes and set ups.

Check your phone book see if any around and go check them out, talk to the mums see what they like/dislike about the one they are at.

Where are you located?

Hi all

Bunnings have paint with the anti mould in it, it’s not that much more expensive tha dulux mid range.

variation – if you come across a painter in Perth called Hanson and he is asian run a mile. even though his cutting in is good, he takes ages, some of the other tradies told me he was a sleep in his car most of the time, he took 21 days to paint my house!! and I do not think he did all the sanding, the 2-3 coats he said he would do, and when the afternoon sun comes in the front door I have about 12 long runs coming down from the art recess. AND he loves spending all his time telling you how good he is.
He drove me mad

Hi Munno

Try the council again, stress safety / privacy etc, maybe compromise high at rear sides of house, lower at front?
When I asked our council re fencing height they looked a
t me like they didnot know what I was talking about and said what ever and I did not need a permit, but they spoted on my backyard plans where I was going to put a cubby house and said if it is taller than the fence I needed council permission, go figure?

You should be able to get a pamplet from where you buy it or their web site. I watched the guys install ours, it was just holes for the posts and the panel slide in the channel a few screws or tivots can not remember which and it was done!

Do you have Stratco hardware there, they defintly sell it with DIY instructions. The Reno bros advertise it on TV ” happy neighbour fencing” check their web site.
