Golden Retriever called Moet (after the champagne) and Float coated Retriever called Lotus (figured she would be a kind of tranquil flower-in retrospect, should have called her cyclone!)

Hey Soum,

There are certainly reasons for and against. On the for side you have issues such as land is very difficult to gain an income from by itself so the mortgage you are paying (if you are) is not offset. There are options for income but are dependant on what and where the land is. Also on the for side is the increasing costs of…[Read more]

Nice one Komari!

Heard an “interesting” one today. If someone is not too attractive they have “a face like a dropped meat pie”. Made me laugh!!!

Got it Jet Dollars, 9 to the power of 9! The second one egg is correct although emcdonald beat you to it! Will think of more overnight!!!

‘A man opened a door and new he was gonna die’

why???

i can only give yes or no answers

OK, yes or no question, do we assume that he will die immediately after opening the door?

Hi Mintpattie,

From my understanding, the Nickel project seriously commenced about 2 -3 months ago and has a construction period of around 12 months. That was based on the tender docs but knowing construction, they will want to finish in 6 months but end up taking 18!! Am sure there will also be ongoing works so could stretch on for quite some…[Read more]

Hi Dazzling,

What are your chances or actually getting the $191/day if they are deneying the rubbish is theirs in the first place?

Do you actually know who the tenants were and can you contact them directly? As it is supposed to be vacant possession, the onus is on the seller to coordinate this though. What are the laws respecting tenants…[Read more]

On the right track now e but keep trying.

I am guessing the next one to be because both the lawyer and doctor were female??

Nope, think less laterally in this case. Pretty poor one anyway! Will just give an answer if you like. Try the next one though.

“Lying there in the yard so neat was something very good to eat. It had neither flesh not bone, but in 21 days it walked alone. What is it?”

Like the way you think but not the answer I had in mind. The answer is a real number and not infinty.

The man has the hiccups and wants the water to get rid of them. The bartender scares him with the gun so he dosn’t need the water anymore.

Had to really search the memory banks for that one!!

Ok, an oldie. What is the biggest number you can form using two numbers (using two real digits only).

Yes, I did get the words around the wrong way if only to tie in with the theme of this thread!

Simon, I think the fish that you smell are well and truly off!!

Hmmmmmm….the thick plottens!

Think we’ve got a live one here!!

Colbert1982, hope this hasn’t deterred you from asking questions. Generally speaking, the answers you get are pretty simple to understand and advertising is frowned upon…..if thats what that actually was.

Well done Wayne, congrats!!

Seem to recall a recent post where a similar thing was raised. Something along the lines that even though the owner may have paid for the plans to be drawn up, the architect still owns to the IP (although the post was more along the lines of the project home builders). I did suggest at the time that this was stupid as that is what you pay for…[Read more]

In Support of Terryw’s point about comparable sales, I had the same trouble recently with a low valuation. I sourced about 6 recent sales in my area (including my street) and contacted the bank. The most important point was that the properties I referenced were of similar age, size and location and the result was I got a higher valuation.

I also…[Read more]

Westan,

Yep, I think the value is $12,000 before requiring council permission which you should be well below. Other circumstance usually is structural modifications which I am guessing would not apply in this instance!

Go for it!

Hey Wayne,

I think you have got the idea now!! Put the offer in writing then have a good Easter! As Island Dream has said, the buyer obviously wants to sell and has gone down from his “lowest” acceptable price.

I wouldn’t stress too much. If you can’t or won’t go above $180k there is no point getting worried any further. Let them chase you!…[Read more]

Hey Wayne,

If the agent is saying its not worth it, don’t bother putting the offer in yet. Let them come back to you.

Easter is also a bugger of a time to sell (in my experience anyway) and may have a change of heart over the weekend!

Nice call by the way Dazzling!!

cheers
