Kay – great idea in principle but as most of these wineries probably only have a half dozen or dozen different types of wines, it wouldn’t take too long to try them all and you can’t hang around for ever!. BTW a tasting is only supposed to be about 20 – 30 mls.
No different I suppose to a number of wineries in various regions of Australia. They charge $5 for tastings to weed out the people who have no intention of purchasing a bottle of wine from their cellardoor.
I hope that once the properties have all been sold, they can put up on this forum what the deals were. I for one would like to know what the figures looked like. Once contracts have been exchanged I can’t see what the hassle would be to post the details.
Elves – There was an Elvis reunion in Parkes last weekend. Plenty of blue suede shoes, hunks of burnin’ love and the like in Parkes on Friday, Sat and Sun.
Can I just say that if you only plan on making $40,000 in 6 – 12 months, it is probably not worth the effort, commitment and general worrying with building a house. You should try to look at closer to $100,000 in 12 months as you will inevitably have hold ups, extra costs, unforseen problems and the like. Your $40,000 may end up closer to…[Read more]
Yes there are, I would suggest you get a plumber in. He will probably need to do some unless your home has been fitted already. Just take a look under the sink.
If it has some extra pipes that seem to go nowhere, you have probably got the connections.
I put mine inmyself but only because I knew what went where after taking out the old one.
I just bought a new Whirlpool for $975. Our previous diswasher(dishlex) was 25 years old (it came with the property). I guess some last that long so the $70 might be a good investment.
Perhaps you could ask admin to set up a new forum on whitegoods investments[:p][:p][:p]
Just heard from my contact in Parkes that they had about 4 inches of rain in an hour on Wednesday.
There was heaps of flooding cars where in water up to the door handles anywhere around the train lines and sth. There were a few homes in the area that were flooded too. I wonder if they were owned by our friendly bus tour operator?
I just went through this thread as I was interested in your comments on Parkes.
I was there on Monday and Tuesday and it was f….n hot! There is a retirement village that is quite new and a few props for sale too. The likely hood of getting $180 – $200 rent for a 2 bedder is ludicrous when you compare to other rents (even centre of town is…[Read more]
Without trying to sound too negative – I completely agree with the ‘no +ve geared places left in NSW (or most other states)’. Unless you have the spare 20% cash to inject into it at the start, there is bugger all left. I was definately 2 years too late to get into it and was too busy finding two -ve geared props (Syd & Bris) – good cap.…[Read more]
