Sounds like a good solution to me!!

Ok, i get it. Your loacl council should be able to provide you with information as to when the residence was constructed, whether or not any improvements have council approval & the date.

The VGO also keeps record of the year of construction, however info from the council is free, VGO you have to pay.

As far as I know, there isn’t a website t…[Read more]

Hi Elvis,

Welcome to the forum. Do you mean estimated start date or estimated completion date? Is this a property you are building or is it someone else’s?

I’m in Perth too & work in the construction industry, so I’ll possibly be able to help if I know exactly what you are after. That said, the construction industry here in Perth is in a state…[Read more]

Hi Mark,

Yes, I do believe you are able to access your super funds. However, you will need to first demonstrate a certain degree of financial hardship (which, knowing how strict the superannuation laws are, will probably mean being on the verge of bankruptcy!)

Contact the superannuation board in your state & get some concrete info from…[Read more]

Don’t know what is or is not true – but it was bloody funny reading everybody’s replies.

Hi All,

I posted this same piece last time this conversation came up & it’s my “two cents worth”……………………..

But here’s another point of view…….

Abundance is everybody’s due, is it not?

Abundance to our ancestors & tribal people meant having plentiful food & shelter – with out want.
Abundance to our animal kingdom means the same. The unive…[Read more]

Hi Wrappack,

Have you got a copy of the actual by-law or covenant that stipulates the 3m max height. If you have & if you would like to e-mail it to me I’ll have a look at it for you. (or post it on the forum) 3m max seems a bit odd to me – since the wall height of a two-story dwelling is usually 5m at a min (not including the roof) – unless the…[Read more]

Hi Russ,

I don’t see why not – as long as you can get it valued at 20k more than you paid for it……

Hey Steve,

Not that I actually know for sure….. but I’ll have a stab – grand? wood fire???

Hi Julie,

I think chat channels can become rather purposeless after awhile – like – hi how’s it going ? what u u up 2? Etc etc.

With a forum board real topics get raised & answered & it also provides a searchable database.

My personal opinion – if this were a chat channel – I wouldn’t participate – sorry!!

Cheers

Hi Kaloni,

I use POSH. It’s quite good – but has it’s limitations though. Most off the shelf software does. If you spend some time setting up some spreadsheets in excel, that would probably serve you just as well.

I’ll take the “go for a swim” option!!!!

Hi ya Redwing!!!

How you doing???

Agreed!! What’s up with Western Power?????

Since this happens for a few days every February – a little forward planning on their part surely wouldn’t go astray!!!

I’ve always asked for a copy of the valuation – & got it!!! They always state that it is not their usual practice to hand it out – but I’ve always managed to get a copy anyway…..

Mel – thanks

Muchly appriciated!

Hi Scheldon,

You will probably find you may be able to claim a portion of the expenses as a capital works deduction.

If you visit the ato web site there is further information there
