You sound like a marathon runner, you trained as hard as you could and ran as hard as you could on the day – No shame in that!

The competition better be on their toes next time

Hi Pasandbec

Just as a sidebar to all this – the property l have just purchased has a zig zag in the fenceline.
It goes 50/50 and is covered by a solicitors letter.
l have arranged with the neighbor to reinstate the fence line to it’s prpoper position.

l was advised by a friend who had spent many years on the local Council that as long as the…[Read more]

Big brother always reminds me of couples having a ‘domestic’ in the street, you know you shouldn’t look but you just can’t help it!!

And Yes – Hot Dogs is a weiner and Tim is a big sook

Hi Surrey

I have got four fans in my place 3 are Wattmaster/Lansons from Laurence & Hanson elec wholesalers. The other is a Kmart cheapie

The 3 bladed metal one is in the kitchen, easy to clean and pushes more air but you get the ‘chopping’ noise at high speed.

The rest are 4 bladers in the bedrooms, they are quieter with wooden blades but less…[Read more]

Q. Can you ever put an old head on young shoulders?

Steve

How about “as happy as a dog in church” or “curled up like a dog humping a cricket ball”

Hello Familyfirst

l would be checking for UG utility easements & and property drainage requirements – having to negotiate easements for drainage across other properties is a time consuming, costly and sometimes friutless undertaking

Steve

l agree Byronment!!

It would seem you need to be asking to see a copy of the Waterboards Water Asset Location plan for that street or block.

Neither the original title or the new survey for the 2 new titles identify this sewer easement.
However the surveyor has included the new drainage easement requested by Council.

As l said it is a rude…[Read more]

I am a White Knight too and judging by the company

You know you are getting old when you’ve dropped something on floor, you bend down to pick it up and then think – What else can l do while l’m down here??

Thanks Guru

That was easier than l thought !!
I must have been overworking the idea, l was thinking it was something set by the Reserve Bank.

Steve

Thanks Bryce

That is exactly the sort of thing l was after

The only dumb question is the one you don’t ask!!

Steve

i am someone who wants to believe. i would love to have faith and to me GOD makes sense. but what i dont have is the ability to take a LEAP OF FAITH….and say that jesus is the son of god…..

Hi Felicity

I bought my Dr. Seuss book today!
Just gotta stay out of that Waiting Place.

Was it Steve Macs delivery or is that Dr Seuss one wise man?

Steve

if the block slopes away from the street, and you cannot get the stormwater away without an easement, then don’t bother, (there are easier deals out there)

Tony is right on the money there!!

I am looking at a 3 month hold up on a subdivision of my own block for that very reason.

I can’t get a builder until March 2005 otherwise l would be…[Read more]

Thanks you guys

Calvin for putting up that great leap frogging example and thanks to Steve, Terry & Derek for the great answers

I learnt a lot!![biggrin]

hi brenda

headworks in central vic are around 12k

check if easements are required across neighbors properties and talk to them before you get too involved with permit fees

steve

yack

i agree to a point

i will be mowing the lawn…… with the shed radio on!!
if it is a close match i might ditch the mower

my brother who suffered the thru the brissy bears no doubt will be hyped up no end

steve

kids?? who’d have ’em??

next time we will look in the wardrobes for a sleeping child before we get the nieghbors out looking……… big hugs [exhappy] followed by plenty of ‘if you ever do that agains’
